Brandt noted that ETH’s rally occurred on “extremely light volume” and suggested that its price rise was just a flash in the pan. The analyst stated that aggressive ETH buying had declined sharply, and ETH could slip to three digits again.
The veteran analyst tweeted a chart of Ethereum, saying, “Will be interesting to monitor the morphing. But for right now, this is what we have ETH.” He continued, “The upturn came on extremely light volume. I.E. the thrust was not based on aggressive buying from strong hands and is, therefore, questionable.”
