On July 9th, according to the data from Glassnode, whales that hold at least 10,000 ETH are speeding up their accumulation, and the pace is even quicker than that before the 95% surge in ETH in mid-2022. As of this Monday, the total amount of ETH held by these whales has rebounded from a historical low of 37.56 million in October 2024 to 41.06 million, representing an increase of 9.31%. This growth rate is nearly twice as fast as during the period from May to September 2022 (when the ETH price rose from around $1,000 to $1,950). A similar situation took place from November 2020 to January 2021. During that time, whale holdings increased by 4%, and the ETH price soared from $460 to $1,220. History shows that whales often start to accumulate before a full-scale market takeoff. The data from Glassnode indicates that the $2,500 - $2,536 range is the strongest accumulation area recently. Over 3.45 million ETH are concentrated at this cost basis, forming a key support level.

On July 9th, as per the report on Globenewswire, the arcade game behemoth Atari disclosed in its latest annual revenue report that it intends to make adjustments to its Web3 ecosystem initiative, Atari X. This initiative was initially designed to drive the development of a Web3 blockchain ecosystem, bringing gaming, utilities, and the community together and exploring token issuance. Nevertheless, based on the latest data, the transaction volume of Atari X was extremely low (only 100,000 euros in the 2024 fiscal year), so it is no longer regarded as a separate business line, and the strategic focus will remain on the core video game business.

On July 9th, the analysts at Bitfinex pointed out in their latest report that current traders are cautious about purchasing Bitcoin at the present price level. This is because the cryptocurrency has continuously failed to successfully break through the historical high of $111,970. "The bulls seem hesitant or are unable to push the price further upward in the absence of new catalysts or clearer macro signals." The analyst stated that although the profit-taking pressure has decreased, the lack of buying interest indicates that traders are still waiting for direction confirmation. It is worth noting that according to Santiment data, Bitcoin's social media sentiment has reached a three-week high, with bullish comments being 1.51 times more than bearish ones. However, the analysts at the platform warn that similar sentiment spikes have led to price pullbacks on June 11th and July 7th.
