The ETH/USDT pair retreated from its $3,860 peak on July 22, with analysts noting key support levels at 【$3,494】 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) and 【$3,381】 (50% retracement). ——Market sentiment remains bullish despite the correction——, with the 20-day exponential moving average ($3,234) serving as critical support.

SharpLink's 360,807 ETH treasury and BitMine's 300,657 ETH holdings represent strategic allocations rather than speculative positions. This development mirrors 2020-2021 trends when corporate Bitcoin acquisitions preceded major bull runs.
Market observers note the growing acceptance of ETH as a treasury asset among tech-focused public companies, with ——the cryptocurrency now representing 19% of SharpLink's total market capitalization——.
