Moreover, the MACD indicator shows a bullish trend forming, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line. Besides that, a shift towards positive momentum is indicated as the histogram displays smaller red bars, suggesting weakening bearish pressure.

At the same time, BlackRock increased its Ethereum holdings by purchasing 7,574 ETH for $18.52 million. This shift could indicate growing confidence in Ethereum’s future prospects, especially with recent discussions around ETFs and long-term yield potential.
Consequently, analysts remain divided on BlackRock’s intentions. Some believe the company is positioning itself for an ETH rally, while others see this as a response to client-driven demand through ETF products. Despite the changes, BlackRock continues to have a strong preference for Bitcoin over Ethereum.
