Bitmine, the world’s largest Ethereum treasury, has ramped up its ETH buying during the latest crypto market correction, making the company’s largest purchase of 2026 to date. Related Reading: Analyst Charts Ethereum Long-Term Roadmap To $16,000 – There’s No Need To Panic Bitmine Doubles Down On Ethereum On Monday, Bitmine Immersion Technologies announced it had bought over 126,971 ETH, worth roughly $214 million, during last week’s dip, marking the treasury’s largest purchase so far this year. Now, Bitmine’s crypto and cash holdings sit at $9.6 billion at current prices, comprised of 5,543,872 ETH at $1,630 per ETH, 204 Bitcoin (BTC), a $180 million stake in Beast Industries, an $88 million stake in Eightco Holdings as part of its “Moonshots” initiative, and total cash worth $247 million. In a statement, Bitmine’s Chairman, Tom Lee, explained that the firm saw the recent price dip, which sent Ethereum to a one-year low of $1,505 on Sunday, as a buying opportunity, arguing that Ethereum’s fundamentals are strengthening. “We increased our buying as we believe this pullback in ETH prices does not reflect the strengthening of Ethereum fundamentals. This is not surprising given we are in the early stages of crypto spring,” he said. Lee argued that the broader crypto market sell-off was a “superficial take,” driven more by short‑term panic than by real weakness. He also affirmed that the recent Zcash Orchard incident strengthens Ethereum’s use case. AI systems are going to find flaws in centralized financial services rails and weak decentralized protocols. We believe this actually strengthens the use case and product market fit for hardened and reliable decentralized blockchains like Ethereum. Therefore, the treasury firm believes that “ETH prices should not be coming under pressure,” he added. After the latest purchase, the firm’s ETH holdings have reached 4.59% of the altcoin’s total supply. Lee expects the company to reach its 5% supply goal “sometime in 2026.” ETH Eyes Key Technical Level Despite Bitmine’s continuous bet on Ethereum, the king of altcoins has struggled over the past week, retracing roughly 15% and losing the February lows for the first time in four months. Market observer Ash Crypto noted that ETH is repeating a setup that was seen once before during the last bear market. “Back in June 2022, ETH broke through every support level and crashed to $880. Everyone gave up on it. That turned out to be the exact bottom of the whole bear market,” he wrote. This time, Ethereum has retraced 68% from its 2025 peak and broken through every support level after losing the 200-week Moving Average (MA), which sits around $2,471. Now, the next key support to watch is at $1,500, which could determine whether ETH repeats its previous playbook.

On the contrary, if Ethereum loses the $1,500 in the weekly timeframe, he suggested the price could fall all the way to the $1,000 area, where the next major support zone is located. As of this writing, ETH is trading at $1,687, a 4.8% increase in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Dogecoin (DOGE) bounced back on Monday in a modest relief rally, climbing to about $0.086 after sliding to a multi-year low of $0.077 over the weekend. But when looking for clues on where the memecoin might go next, market analyst Ali Martinez released a technical update arguing that DOGE is sitting at a “critical structural inflection point.” In his view, the next phase could follow one of two clear paths, shaped by both higher-timeframe chart patterns and on-chain activity. Is A Macro Expansion Cycle Next? Martinez said Dogecoin is currently resting on a broad demand base that has historically supported major macro expansion cycles. He framed the setup as more than just a short-term rebound, pointing to long-running structural behavior. According to his analysis, since DOGE’s early days, the asset has tended to move through extended, multi-year consolidation channels—periods that compress volatility and effectively “transfer” supply over time. Those phases, he argues, typically come before larger structural bull markets. Related Reading: Has The Bitcoin Price Crash Ended Or Is This Just The Beginning? Analyst Answers Martinez says that, at the moment, Dogecoin is testing a specific technical area at $0.081, which is slightly lower than the current trading price. This level corresponds to the lower mid-range boundary of an active five-year parallel channel. The analyst emphasized that this key chart level has support behind the scenes on-chain. He referenced the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD), which tracks the exact price levels where the tokens in circulation last moved. In Martinez’s description, there is a major cluster around $0.081: over 30 billion Dogecoin tokens were last transacted at roughly that same coordinate. The result, he says, is a large concentration of historical exposure that often becomes a psychological and financial “wall of defense,” making the area difficult for sellers to push through. Two Scenarios For Dogecoin When identifying the key levels to watch next, Martinez highlighted the $0.081 level, an active area where the URPD volume cluster overlaps with the channel mid-range. The second level is $0.058, which he calls the multi-year absolute channel floor. He then outlined two scenarios for what could happen next. Under Scenario A, the $0.081 volume block continues to absorb the market’s supply. If that support holds, Martinez believes the structure favors a steadier rebound and expansion back toward higher channel targets. Related Reading: XRP To $1 Or A Violent Reversal? Analyst Says Liquidity Setup Is Flashing Scenario B is more cautious. Martinez said that if macroeconomic headwinds intensify and Dogecoin closes weekly below $0.081, the chart structure would shift into what he called an extended valuation reset. In that case, the token could be pushed toward the lower portion of the macro channel, taking it directly to the $0.058 support floor—the multi-year level he highlighted as the ultimate baseline, which would also mean an additional 32% drop for the memecoin.
