The Ethereum market is currently experiencing a range of strategies among its holders as uncertainty persists.
Large holders of Ethereum (those with over 100,000 ETH) have remained inactive, maintaining their positions without significant changes.
In contrast, mid-tier holders (with 10,000 to 100,000 ETH) have been gradually accumulating more ETH, signaling a cautious optimism. However, small holders (with 100 to 1,000 ETH) are selling off their positions steadily.
