Ethereum Smart Money Might Be Repeating This Playbook — ETH Soared 173% Last Time
After a fairly good performance in April, the Ethereum price has reversed almost all its recent gains over the past month. As it crumbled under the weight of the bears heading into the weekend, the altcoin eventually found a cushion of support just above $2,000 in the early hours of Saturday. However, the Ethereum token seems to be enjoying the attention of a special cohort of investors despite its disappointing run over the past few weeks.
ETH Smart Money Buying The Dip
In a recent post on the social media platform X, Alphractal revealed that a specific set of Ethereum investors known as “smart money” is driving a narrative that most of the market might be overlooking. While the headlines have focused on significant Ethereum ETF outflows and ETH losing $2,200 support, smart money investors have remained active in the market.
According to Alphractal, smart money refers to the cohort of investors that owns the largest non-exchange positions in a particular cryptocurrency (ETH, in this case). Using the Smart Money Flow Index, the analytics firm found that this specific set of investors has been accumulating more Ethereum tokens over the past few days.
Going further, Alphractal also shared that the smart money started bridging ETH to Hyperliquid and Base in size during the price downturn on May 14th. The market intelligence platform clarified that the investor cohort was repositioning in the ETH market rather than selling their assets.
Alphractal noted that this behavior was last observed in October 2023, before the price of Ethereum soared from $1,500 to $4,100 — a 173% move. According to recent on-chain data, these smart money investors have been “net buyers” 9 out of the last 12 days.

HTXSquare: Global Markets After Trump China Visit

4 years of HTX Community… and honestly, it’s been an amazing journey 💙🚀“I joined the HTX Community 2 years ago with very little knowledge about crypto trading…”
 Candles, charts, leverage — everything looked confusing at first. But slowly, by reading community posts and learning from experienced traders, things started making sense.

There were good days when profits felt exciting 📈
And there were hard days when losses taught me patience and risk management.

One thing I learned from this community is that successful trading is not about luck — it’s about discipline, learning, and staying calm during every market move.

HTX Community didn’t just help me understand crypto better, it also connected me with people who genuinely support and motivate each other.

Today, I feel more confident, more experienced, and still learning every single day 🔥

Happy 4th Anniversary to the HTX Community 🎉
Wishing more growth, success, and opportunities for everyone ahead!

Asian stock markets advanced sharply on Monday, led by Japan’s Nikkei 225 and TOPIX indexes reaching fresh record highs as investors reacted positively to strong gains in U.S. semiconductor and artificial intelligence stocks. Optimism surrounding a potential U.S.-Iran peace agreement also improved global market sentiment and boosted risk appetite across the region.Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged more than 3% to an all-time high of 65,408.87, while the broader TOPIX index climbed to a record 3,953.89. The rally was largely fueled by chip-related companies after upbeat earnings and guidance from major U.S. semiconductor firms strengthened confidence in the AI sector. Renesas Electronics and Rohm Ltd both jumped nearly 10%, leading gains among Japanese technology shares.Wall Street futures also moved higher during Asian trading hours despite U.S. markets being closed for a public holiday. Nasdaq futures rose more than 1% as investors continued rotating into AI and semiconductor stocks, reflecting strong demand for technology-driven growth opportunities.Elsewhere in Asia, China’s Shanghai Composite gained 0.6%, while the CSI 300 index added 1%. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 advanced 0.5%, Singapore’s Straits Times Index climbed 0.4%, and India’s Nifty 50 rose 1% in early trading. Markets in Hong Kong and South Korea remained closed due to holidays.Investor confidence also improved after U.S. President Donald Trump stated that negotiations related to reopening the Strait of Hormuz were “largely negotiated,” raising hopes for reduced geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, Trump later warned there was “no rush” to finalize the agreement, leaving markets cautious about possible changes in direction.Oil prices declined sharply on expectations that smoother energy flows could return through the critical shipping route.

Whether to buy or sell Micron stock is the question a lot of investors are sitting with right now, as MU trades around $760, roughly 7% below its 52-week high of $818.67. At the time of writing, Wall Street also has an unusually clear answer: four major firms, UBS, Melius Research, Deutsche Bank, and HSBC, all carry buy ratings on the stock. The Micron stock price targets from these firms range from $535 on the low end to a Street-high of $1,100. Out of 45 analyst ratings tracked right now, 30 are Buy and 9 are Outperform, leaving just four Holds and a single Sell. The Micron stock buy or sell debate, it turns out, is not much of a debate on Wall Street.Also Read: MU Stock Is Up Today: Updated Price Target for 2027Should I Buy MU Stock Now, Price Targets and Buy RatingsUBS headquartersSource: ArchelloWhat the Analysts Are Saying Right NowOn May 18, 2026, HSBC and Melius Research both moved their Micron stock price targets to $1,100, and they did it on the same morning MU dropped nearly 6%. Deutsche Bank had already raised its target to $1,000 from $550, and Citi came in at $840 from $425, both keeping Buy ratings. UBS also maintained its Buy, raising to $535 from $510. Whether you frame it as a Micron stock buy or sell call or a long-term hold decision, the Micron stock buy rating picture right now points in one direction.The core argument across all four firms ties back to supply, not demand. HBM capacity for this year is essentially spoken for, and AI infrastructure spending keeps running ahead of what Micron can ship. Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra put the supply gap plainly during the Q1 FY2026 earnings call:“We are only able to meet about 50% to two-thirds of our demand from several key customers, and the gap between the demand and supply for all of DRAM, including HBM, is really the highest that we have ever seen.”The $1,100 Calls and What Drives ThemMeli

Korean Analyst Expects XRP Channel to Push Prices to $5
A pseudonymous Korean analyst suggests that XRP still has the potential to reach $5 and potentially claim $20, citing its ascending channel structure.

XRP has pulled back alongside the rest of the crypto market, dropping nearly 13% from its May 14 high of $1.54 to $1.34. Despite the recent decline, Korean financial analyst Ninedex believes XRP’s ascending channel structure could still push prices to $5, with a potential overshoot to $20.

Key Points

XRP has fallen nearly 13% from its May 14 high of $1.54 to around $1.34.

Despite the decline, it has maintained a crucial support within the middle layer of its multi-year ascending channel.

Ninedex says XRP could still rally to $5 if it recovers to the upper end of the channel’s middle layer.

The analyst believes a breakout to the upper layer, similar to 2018, could push XRP as high as $20.

Weekly MACD and stochastic indicators show improving momentum and a possible bullish reversal.

 ($ETH) and a key figure in the cryptocurrency market, has made some important statements.

Accordingly, Vitalik Buterin stated that the Ethereum Foundation is being restructured and its influence will decrease.

In a lengthy post published from his X account, Buterin addressed the restructuring at the Ethereum Foundation, explaining that Bastian Aue, who took over as co-director from Tomasz Stańczak earlier this year, is leading the reorganization.

Buterin stated that the board of directors had expanded and that his own influence within the foundation would gradually decrease.

Acknowledging community criticism that the foundation’s activities did not align with its values of decentralization and confidentiality, he said these points were “a great burden and pain” for him.

Buterin emphasized that the $ETH Foundation should be seen as one of many nodes in the Ethereum ecosystem, not its central hub. He stated that the $ETH Foundation will no longer aim to encompass the entire ecosystem, but will instead focus solely on issues essential for the stability and long-term sustainability of the Ethereum network – such as resistance to censorship, resistance to hijacking, openness, privacy, and security.

“My influence within the foundation will diminish over time. This is also the direction I personally want.”

Finally, Buterin emphasized that Ethereum is the most financially valuable asset in the $ETH ecosystem. He noted that the foundation owns only about 0.16% of all $ETH, which is less than some individual holders and far below the 10-50% typical for other blockchain foundations.

Vitalik also revealed that approximately 90% of his net worth is in $ETH, with the remaining around $40 million in on-chain fiat funds allocated to open-source research and technology projects
