100x Reversal? Strategy May Have Bought 3,200 BTC After Bitcoin Sale, Standard Chartered Says

Ethereum’s latest price crash has pushed the cryptocurrency below $1,800, 
placing its monthly chart under pressure at a time when the entire crypto 
market sentiment has turned heavily bearish. There is also another weakness 
coming from the monthly RSI, which has now dropped to its lowest level since 
the asset launched in 2015. That reading has made the current setup very 
important, as previous deep RSI resets appeared near major Ethereum cycle lows 
in 2020 and 2022, and there&#8217;s also a question of whether the same pattern is 
forming again. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Plunges To $59K, Sparking Fears 
Of Deeper Decline RSI Hits Its Lowest Level Since Ethereum’s Launch Ethereum 
has endured a brutal nine months since it peaked at $4,946 in August 2025. The 
brutal price action has culminated in a break below $1,800 in June, with the 
leading altcoin falling to as low as $1,536 in the past 24 hours, which is its 
lowest price level so far in 2026. Interestingly, that crash has caused the 
monthly Relative Strength Index (RSI) on ETH/USD to print its lowest reading 
since Ethereum&#8217;s launch in 2015. The monthly RSI indicator chart shows the 
index dropping to around 40, its lowest level on the monthly timeframe since

What Does This Mean For Ethereum? Back in 2020, Ethereum’s RSI reached a 
depressed level before ETH began a massive rally from around $88 to its 2021 
peak above $4,800. Again in 2022, another deep RSI reset came before ETH 
eventually rallied from around $880 to its 2025 all-time high. The current 
setup is not a guarantee that these same rallies will repeat, but it does show 
that Ethereum is now in the type of momentum zone that has always appeared 
closer to major bottoms than cycle tops. A notable difference this time is 
that the RSI has gone even lower, making the 2026 reading the most extreme in 
the cryptocurrency&#8217;s history. If history repeats itself, the ensuing rally 
might be even larger than those seen in the previous cycles. Technical 
analysis of the monthly candlestick timeframe presents Ethereum as moving 
through another four-year cycle, similar to the move from the 2017 top to the 
2021 top. As shown in the chart image above, the 2017 cycle peak is the first 
major top, the 2021 peak is the next major cycle high, and then there is a 
projection of a possible top around $10,000 sometime in 2026-2027. Related

outflows on Thursday, June 4, after recording $19 million in net inflows.
