Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, experienced significant price volatility following the announcement of a strategic crypto reserve by the US President. This reserve includes Ethereum, Solana, ADA, Ripple’s XRP, and Bitcoin. The market reacted swiftly, with Ethereum's price surging and then dropping dramatically within a few days. On March 2nd, Ethereum was trading at $2,191, peaking at $2,542 on March 3rd, before falling below $2,300 by the end of the day and settling at $2,050 the next day.

This transaction validates the current accumulation trend, suggesting that the current price is seen as a "buy opportunity." The whale's ETH holdings are now valued at $2.5 billion, indicating significant confidence in Ethereum's future performance.
