Key Notes

  • Major players, including Trump's DeFi project and the 1inch Investment Fund, capitalized on the ETH price dip.
  • Analysts suggest holding above $2,700 is critical for maintaining Ethereum's bullish momentum.
  • President Trump announced the creation of a Sovereign Wealth Fund, which could include Bitcoin and Ethereum as part of its portfolio.

Following a brutal crypto market correction on Monday, Ethereum price has registered a strong bounce back, gaining 12% and shooting past $2,800 levels. Some of the key reasons behind this rally include the easing tensions of the Trump trade war, crypto czar David Sacks holding the first press conference for America’s digital assets leadership, Ethereum whale accumulation, and much more.

Ethereum and Altcoins Rally as Trump Eases Trade War Measures

On Tuesday, the broader crypto market, including Bitcoin BTC $97 019 24h volatility: 1.0% Market cap: $1.92 T Vol. 24h: $31.65 B , Ethereum ETH $2 702 24h volatility: 0.6% Market cap: $325.71 B Vol. 24h: $17.49 B , and other altcoins bounced back after a brutal Monday crash. Donald Trump has decided to ease the tariff war after reaching a temporary deal with Canada and Mexico.

The United States, Mexico, and Canada have agreed to a one-month delay on new tariffs initially announced by President Donald Trump. The proposed tariffs included a 25% levy on Mexican and Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on Chinese imports. Originally set to take effect on Tuesday, the White House confirmed the postponement after discussions between Trump and the leaders of Mexico and Canada.

The development has triggered a strong recovery in the global equity and crypto market. Ethereum price, along with other altcoins, has bounced back firmly, moving above the crucial support level once again.

Ethereum Whale Accumulation

Just as the Ethereum price crashed all the way to $2,500 on Monday, the Ethereum whales charged in to buy the market dips. Donald Trump’s DeFi project World Liberty Financial spent another 5 million USDC stablecoins to purchase an additional 1,826 ETH at $2,738.

Since January 19, the project has spent around $150 million acquiring a total of 45,405 ETH coins. However, the data from Spot On Chain shows that it is currently sitting at a nearly 25% drop in its ETH investments.

Despite the current market turbulence, the DeFi project continues to acquire more ETH. Furthermore, the 1inch’s Investment Fund has made significant moves, purchasing 7,289 ETH, worth a massive $10.44M in investment. Furthermore, in a post on the X platform, Eric Trump wrote: “In my opinion, it’s a great time to add ETH”.

Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that Ethereum price needs to sustain the $2,700 to keep the bullish structure of inverse head and shoulder pattern intact. Once ETH crosses the $4,000 resistance, it can further rally to $7,000 and beyond.

Crypto Czar David Sacks to Hold Press Conference
