According to crypto analytics portal Santiment, a large accumulation of Ethereum has been seen in recent days. The most active were those addresses holding between 100 and 100,000 ETH on their balance sheet, which are referred to in the crypto space as sharks and whales. In just the last three weeks, this group of investors have reportedly bought 1.9% of Ethereum's total available supply.

In Oct/Nov 2020, these 100 to 100k $ETH addresses assisted in pushing $ETH to a +50% price rise over 5 weeks. https://t.co/v8gh4RfV7z pic.twitter.com/Oe3lTo12uj

Previously, similar activity was seen in the fall of 2020, when these sharks and whales accumulated 2.1% of the Ethereum supply. At that time, the price of ETH rose by 50% over the next five weeks. If history tends to repeat itself, it is possible that by early 2023 the price of ETH will experience a similarly positive trend.
Major whale alert
An indirect confirmation could be recent statistics from the same Santiment, as reported by U.Today. According to it, Monday, Nov. 21, was one of the biggest buying days for Ethereum in the last calendar year. Major altcoin holders spent more than a billion dollars on purchases, putting 947,940 ETH in their wallets.
