The situation with ETH is getting pretty interesting—data shows only around 104 active traders currently engaged. That's quite a narrow band of market participants pushing volume at this stage. Makes you wonder what's really driving price action when the active trader count is this slim. It raises questions about depth of interest versus just algorithmic movement or concentrated positioning. Worth tracking whether this low activity level indicates accumulation quietly happening or if genuine retail/institutional engagement needs to pick back up.

104 active traders? That's a signal that the big players are building a bottom, while the retail investors are still asleep [Thinking] --- Is the algorithm dumping or the main force accumulating? Let's see if the support level can hold. --- Everyone, note that low activity ≠ no one is playing. This is the easiest time to be cut. --- Lack of depth can actually be an opportunity, but risk management must be in place. Don't go all-in right away. --- 104 active accounts? It seems that the real institutions haven't entered yet. This rebound might just be an intraday swing.

104 active traders? How outrageous does that number have to be for the price to still be moving

104 traders? lmao that's basically a ghost town. back in my mining days we had more people arguing in discord about electricity costs than this entire active trader base rn... ngl this screams either silent accumulation or we're watching algos just trade with themselves at this point
