The Ethereum whales’ purchases could have been aimed at both buying the market dip and supporting the recovery rally on the market. But based on the chart on Trading View, the large buys were unable to save SHIB from following the major of the market.
Although SHIB grew in terms of price by relatively 16% on the weekend, it retraced below $0.00002, touching a value the market has not attained since the beginning of October 2021.
