<p class="is-style-lead">Ethereum price bounced back on Tuesday, Aug. 6 after forming a big hammer candlestick pattern and as some investors, including ‘7 Siblings,’ bought the dip.</p> 
<p>Ether (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">ETH</a>) was trading at $2,445, up by over 15% from its lowest point this week. This price action was in sync with that of Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>), Cardano (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/cardano/">ADA</a>), and Bittensor (TAO).&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are signs that some big investors bought the dip on <a href="https://crypto.news/crypto-black-monday-why-is-crypto-crashing-right-now/">Black Monday</a> , hoping that the token will bounce back. One of the buyers was an entity known as ‘7 Siblings,’ which has over $1.57 billion in assets. 7 Siblings bought 56,093 ETH tokens worth over $129 million.</p>

<p>There are also signs that Exchange Traded Funds investors bought the dip. According to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-06/bitcoin-btc-claws-back-from-steep-losses-as-crypto-traders-buy-dip?srnd=phx-crypto" target="_blank" rel="">Bloomberg</a>, these investors bought assets worth $49 million, in a sign of increased investor optimism.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Still, the crypto industry is being cautious, with some big holders selling their tokens. Jump Trading, a prominent player in the industry, <a href="https://etherscan.io/address/0x4f1a5a5d258522254933a6da9648c57fe230d17e#tokentxns" target="_blank" rel="">has sold</a> Ether tokens worth over $609 million in the past few weeks. Another big holder known as Longling Capital <a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1820645376132886549" target="_blank" rel="">moved 20,000 coins</a> after being dormant for almost 2 years.</p> 
<p>Ethereum’s recovery faces additional risks. For one, not every analyst believes that the Federal Reserve should cut interest rates in September. In a CNBC interview, Komal Sri-Kumar, founder of Sri Kumar Global Strategies, said that the Fed should wait for inflation to fall before cutting interest rates.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Still, he seems to be in the minority as the CME <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html" target="_blank" rel="">Fedwatch tool</a> has a 76.5% probability of a 50bps rate cut in September followed by another one in November and December.</p> 
<p>Another positive for Ethereum is that its staking yield has risen by 6.3% in the past 24 hours to 9.46%. This rebound happened as the staking <a href="https://www.stakingrewards.com/asset/ethereum-2-0" target="_blank" rel="">market cap dropped</a> by 26% to $81.95 billion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The other potential risk for Ether is technical. On the daily chart, the coin formed a triple-top pattern whose neckline was at $2,810. It has now dropped below this neckline, meaning that bears have prevailed.</p> 
<p>Ether is also about to form a death cross as the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Average are about to make a bearish crossover. Also, as <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-chart-showing-mixed-signals-following-crypto-black-monday/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was previously noted about Bitcoin</a>, any rebound after a sell-off could prove to be a dead cat bounce.</p>
