The Ethereum price plunged 2% in the last 24 hours to trade at $4,013 as of 3:33 a.m. EST on trading volume that dropped 28% to $41.6 billion.
Tom Lee’s BitMine Immersion Technologies took the opportunity buy the dip, snapping up 104,336 ETH worth about $417 million from Kraken and BitGo, according to on-chain data from Lookonchain.
The fresh acquisition follows the company’s $828 million purchase last week.

“The crypto liquidation over the past few days created a price decline in ETH, which BitMine took advantage of,” said BitMine chairman Lee. “Volatility creates deleveraging, and this can cause assets to trade at substantial discounts to fundamentals.”
Meanwhile, according to recent data from Bitwise, nearly all of the Ethereum accumulated by public companies to date occurred within a three-month window between July and September.
95% of all ETH held by public companies was purchased in the past quarter alone.

Ethereum Price Regains Its Footing After Sharp Correction
The ETH price has recently found stability after a volatile period that tested the $3,600 support zone.
The Ethereum price daily chart shows that ETH is now trading around $4,013, recovering steadily after dipping below its short-term support at the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level ($3,909).
Meanwhile, the broader structure reflects a bullish recovery within a medium-term uptrend, though recent ETH price swings have introduced short-term uncertainty.
The 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $4,326 currently acts as dynamic resistance, while the 200-day SMA near $3,160 provides a solid base of long-term support.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 43.93, suggesting that the market is emerging from mildly oversold conditions.
Moreover, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator reads +0.15, reflecting renewed capital inflows after a brief period of outflows.
ETH Targets $4,600 as Bulls Regain Confidence
ETH appears poised for a potential retest of the $4,600–$4,900 zone, representing a 15% upside from current prices.
However, if the price of Ethereum fails to maintain support above $3,900, a retest of $3,600 or even the 0.618 Fibonacci level near $3,270 remains possible.
This bearish sentiment is supported by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, who says that the Ethereum price is on the verge of a MACD crossover.
