The price of Ethereum (ETH) has fallen 2.74% over the last 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap, taking the price of ETH down to $1,100.41 at press time. This has added to ETH’s negative weekly price movement as the altcoin’s price is now down 12.49% over the last 7 days.

While ETH’s continued price decline may be testing holders’ grit in this bear market, large whales (holding $10.9 million to $1.09 billion) have seen the price fall as an opportunity to purchase ETH at a discount.
