Ethereum Updates Today: Large Holder Activity Fuels Ethereum's Recovery Amid Global Tensions
Escalating tensions between the U.S. and China have heightened global market volatility, prompting cryptocurrency traders to rethink their approaches as risk preferences evolve.

With no sign of U.S.-China tensions easing, investors are treading carefully while seeking opportunities. For Ethereum, future progress will depend on overcoming key resistance points and maintaining the accumulation trend among institutional and major retail investors.
