Analysts highlight ETH USD priming to retest $4,700 – and amidst the pressure of upside down, is the dark money spinning into Ethereum?

The wallet, tied to a $300 million Coinbase scam, bought $18.9 million worth of ether as ETH was torn apart from $4,700 yesterday.

According to LookonChain, the crypto address linked to the “Coinbase Hacker” campaign purchased 3,976 ETH on September 13 for $18.9 million.

The purchase, made at an average price of $4,756, came as ether was pushed above $4,700.

Analysts tracking the wallet say that before converting to ETH, the funds were attracting attention with DAIs of 189.11 million. Arkham Intelligence data Before swapping, we present the wallet aggregation DAI in amounts ranging from $80,000 to $6 million.

The address has also been active recently, winning 4,863 ETH and 649 ETH in July, and Solana worth around $8 million in August.

Blockchain Investigator Zachxbt Estimated The broader scheme released at least $330 million from the casualties earlier this year.

Called a wide range of social engineering campaigns, this operation targets Coinbase users and maintains the wallet under close surveillance from analysts on the chain.

The latest timing of ETH accumulation has strengthened speculation on ethers in the market rotation.

Traders noted that the wallet movement coincided with ETH/USD’s new momentum, adding weight to the narrative of deep pocket actors moving into assets.

Ethereum Price Analysis: How much higher is the ETH if the $4,700 neckline is rested?

Ethereum shows new strength, with technical signals pointing to breakouts that could send prices to $5,500.

Follow Transaction Data ViewETH trades nearly $4,660, holding above the short-term moving average of the four-hour chart.

The 50-EMA is $4,462 and the 100-EMA is $4,421, both facing upwards. This setup suggests that buyers will continue to maintain control despite the minor pullback.

More volume has been seen in recent sessions, supporting movements from the $4,300 range of ETH over $4,650 in just a few days.

The wider structure shows a recovery trend after several weeks of lateral action. Short-term candles reveal signs of fresh purchases, stable demand, following short dips.

Momentum may continue if your ETH holds support above 50-EMA. Otherwise, there is a risk that the price will return to the $4,400-$4,300 zone.

Crypto analyst Titan pointed out the double bottom pattern of Adam & Eve on his daily charts.

The formation combines a sharp “V” shape low with a round base to indicate a potential inversion. The neckline is below $4,700, close to current levels.

A confirmed breakout in which the neckline projects travel targets measured along historic resistance to $5,500. This adds weight to the view that Ethereum can be set up for a more substantial gathering if pressure is kept.

What are Derivatives saying to us about Ethereum’s next move?

If Ethereum breaks above the neckline, traders could be bullish at $5,500 as their next target. But if that fails, the price could be pulled back to test how solid the recent gatherings are.

The activity of the derivatives indicates an increase in positioning. Coinglass data ETH futures puts a favorable interest of nearly $64 billion, but the funding rate for the final session was stable, hovering about 0.01% in the major exchanges, but not overkill.

Spot ETF flow has also been improved. On September 12, Farside investors reported net inflows into US ETH funds after a few days of outflowrefers to fresh institutional demand.

Webull has rolled out cryptocurrency trading in Australia, following its recent return to the digital asset market in the United States.

The Australian branch of the trading app allows users to access 240 different crypto assets, according to a press release dated August 27.

Rob Talevski, CEO of Webull Securities Australia, described the update as part of the company’s goal to give local investors more options. He explained that adding digital assets helps users manage different types of investments all in one place.

The decision to expand in Australia comes two days after Webull restored its crypto services in the US, a market it had left in 2023. At that time, the company was preparing to go public and decided to pause crypto offerings in response to a less favorable regulatory climate under the Biden administration.

CEO Anthony Denier told Bloomberg on August 25 that users had requested the return of crypto trading, and the company is simply responding to what customers expect.

The firm also plans to expand into other parts of the world. In a separate announcement on August 25, Webull said that additional markets would be added soon. Brazil has become one of the first new regions to receive access to crypto trading through the platform.

Dogecoin Just Hit A Prime Risk-Reward Entry, Says Analyst https://earlybirdsinvest.com/dogecoin-just-hit-a-prime-risk-reward-entry-says-analyst/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/dogecoin-just-hit-a-prime-risk-reward-entry-says-analyst/#respond Mon, 04 Aug 2025 08:38:11 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/dogecoin-just-hit-a-prime-risk-reward-entry-says-analyst/

The Dogecoin weekly chart is back at a cluster of technical levels that one market watcher says offers a favorable entry. The pseudonymous trader Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow) posted a TradingView snapshot and wrote, “I bought a little bit more DOGE and Fartcoin last night, but you pretty much knew that. I think it’s great risk-reward here and that I’ll do what I can to buy anyway.”

In a follow-up note attached to the same chart, the analyst summarized the setup as a “DOGE Bull market support band back-test. Diagonal bear market trendline breakout and back-test.”

Best Dogecoin Buy Signal?

The chart, created August 3,, tracks DOGE/USD (Coinbase) on the weekly timeframe and shows price pulling into the Bull Market Support Band—an envelope indicator plotted as two lines—now marked around $0.19025–$0.20703. At the time of the screenshot, the weekly candle displayed O: $0.24076, H: $0.24860, L: $0.18855, C: $0.19945, reflecting a drop of roughly 17.15% on the week with hours left in the session. The drawdown follows a sharp two-week advance that pushed Dogecoin into the upper $0.20s before sellers faded the move.

Technically, the image highlights two elements beyond the support band. First is a descending trendline drawn across lower weekly highs, which price moved above on July 16 and is now testing from the topside. Second is the confluence between that trendline and the bull market support band, a zone that trend followers often watch to judge whether a breakout is holding or failing.

Related Reading

The analyst’s post frames the current retreat as a “back-test” of both features rather than a breakdown, implying that demand near the band could keep bulls in control if the level continues to act as support.

While the post is explicitly bullish, the evidence presented is descriptive rather than predictive. However, the weekly candle has closed above the crucial area. So, the configuration is clear: after piercing a long-running diagonal barrier, DOGE is revisiting the $0.19–$0.21 area, where the support band is aligned with the former downtrend line.

Related Reading

Traders who subscribe to momentum-and-trend methodologies often evaluate such retests for confirmation—looking for stabilization, shrinking downside momentum, or a swift recovery back above the midline of the band.

Cantonese Cat’s message distills that view into a simple risk stance. By stating “I think it’s great risk-reward here,” the commentator is signaling that, in his opinion, the nearby technical levels define risk tightly relative to potential upside should the breakout sustain.

As always, that is one analyst’s interpretation of the chart at a specific moment in time; Dogecoin remains volatile, and this week will be pivotal for bulls attempting to confirm the momentum, but the risk-reward ratio seems quite good.

At press time, DOGE traded at $0.199.

Why Prime Video Is One of Amazon's Most Underrated Assets https://earlybirdsinvest.com/why-prime-video-is-one-of-amazons-most-underrated-assets/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/why-prime-video-is-one-of-amazons-most-underrated-assets/#respond Sun, 03 Aug 2025 05:42:16 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/why-prime-video-is-one-of-amazons-most-underrated-assets/ Prime Video is no longer just a perk. It’s a powerful ad platform, a connected-TV company, and Amazon’s most overlooked strategic asset.

Amazon (AMZN -8.09%) is best known for its sprawling e-commerce empire, dominant cloud infrastructure business, and its ever-growing Prime membership base. But quietly sitting inside this flywheel is a business with surprising strategic upside: Prime Video.

For years, Prime Video was viewed as just another perk — a nice-to-have feature bundled into the Prime membership. But that’s changing. Between a new ad-supported model, a powerful position in connected TV (CTV), and seamless integration into Amazon’s broader retail ecosystem, Prime Video is emerging as one of Amazon’s most underrated growth engines.

Here’s why smart investors should start paying closer attention.

Prime Video’s strategic shift from perks to platform

When Amazon first launched Prime Video, it wasn’t trying to compete directly with entertainment companies like Netflix or Disney. Instead, it used video content to increase Prime subscriptions, drive loyalty, and reduce churn. The focus was to delight its e-commerce customers, and that strategy worked. Happy customers became more engaged, spending more time and money on the e-commerce platform.

But what started as a defensive move has become a strategic pillar. Today, in addition to getting free content as Prime members, customers can also subscribe to third-party channels offered by partners under the Amazon Channel. Besides, Amazon made another pivotal move in January 2024: it began running ads on Prime Video, instantly unlocking a massive audience of over 200 million globally to advertisers.

The streaming arm is also increasingly investing in originals, live sports, and localized content across global markets. In other words, Prime Video is quietly building up its ecosystem of services, positioning it well to evolve from a cost-center to a hugely profitable entity of its own.

Amazon Ads and Prime Video

Amazon Ads is one of the next growth frontiers for Amazon, in which Prime Video is going to play a major role.

By rolling out ads across Prime Video by default in key markets, Amazon steps up its monetization efforts of its gigantic Prime subscriber base. Prime members can pay a small monthly fee to go ad-free, but most don’t, turning Prime Video into one of the largest ad-supported streaming platforms globally.

To put the opportunity size into perspective, Netflix has 300 million subscribers, of which 94 million use the ad-supported service. On the other hand, Disney+ has 126 million global paid subscribers. With more than 200 million viewers, Prime Video is already among the biggest streaming services provided globally.

But Prime Video doesn’t run an ordinary advertising business. Its ad engine taps into its vast retail data, letting brands target viewers based on actual purchase behavior. A viewer watching an online video might see a relevant sponsored product ad and buy it on Amazon without ever leaving the app. It’s a frictionless loop that few competitors can replicate.

Owning the connected TV stack

Prime Video isn’t just a content platform — it’s Amazon’s gateway to the living room. And through its connected TV (CTV) footprint, Amazon is building an end-to-end advertising and commerce engine few can match.

Amazon Fire TV, now with over 200 million devices sold globally, gives the company direct control over the connected TV hardware and software stack. This integrated approach allows it to collect first-party data, control the user experience, and serve ads more effectively than most CTV players. While traditional media networks are still figuring out how to merge streaming, commerce, and advertising, Amazon already has all three pieces in place.

The implications are enormous. Advertisers not only reach an engaged, high-intent audience on Prime Video, but they can also close the loop through Amazon’s retail engine. That kind of direct attribution — seeing a sponsored ad on Fire TV, clicking through, and buying the product on Amazon — is a marketer’s dream. With increasing demand for measurable, performance-based advertising, this positions Amazon as a formidable player in the future of CTV.

In other words, Prime Video plays a strategic role in Amazon’s expanding ecosystem, in which commerce, content, and advertising converge to form a defensible business model that strengthens both the parts and the whole.

Now is the time to take a closer look at Prime Video

Investors often think of Amazon in silos: retail, cloud, advertising, logistics, etc. But the company’s greatest strength lies in how these pieces connect. Prime Video may have started as a “nice-to-have” feature bundled into Prime, but it’s quickly becoming one of Amazon’s most powerful strategic assets.

By bringing together entertainment, commerce, and advertising into a seamless flywheel, Amazon is building a future where Prime Video not only entertains–but drives growth across the entire business.

It’s time investors gave this overlooked asset a much closer look.

Bank of America Says Several Stock Sectors Signal Prime Buying Opportunities Amid AI Boom https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bank-of-america-says-several-stock-sectors-signal-prime-buying-opportunities-amid-ai-boom/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bank-of-america-says-several-stock-sectors-signal-prime-buying-opportunities-amid-ai-boom/#respond Thu, 17 Jul 2025 13:30:13 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bank-of-america-says-several-stock-sectors-signal-prime-buying-opportunities-amid-ai-boom/

Bank of America’s chief investment officer views stock market dips and several sectors as prime buying opportunities, despite record market highs.

In a new interview on CNBC’s Closing Bell, Chris Hyzy says the explosion of spending on AI represents a boom that will boost the markets for years to come.

“If you look out over the next six or seven years and we just kind of pause for a second in the next week or two weeks, the greatest capex boom that we are going to witness is yet to come.

We’ve got trillions yet to go. There’s billions that have been deployed in terms of what has been announced but in terms of actual input into the actual infrastructure, the digital infrastructure space, it’s just beginning.”

Hyzy says that amid the long-term bullish market conditions, certain sectors still offer investors potential bargain buys.

“Weakness in financials, industrials, utilities, information technology, those areas are buying opportunities even though we’re at all-time highs…

In our opinion, you could potentially be looking at another double in the S&P, which is not a lot of heavy lifting because that matches the return that we’ve seen in markets over the last six, seven, eight decades.”

These Yaber and LG projectors are still at Prime Day prices https://earlybirdsinvest.com/these-yaber-and-lg-projectors-are-still-at-prime-day-prices/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/these-yaber-and-lg-projectors-are-still-at-prime-day-prices/#respond Thu, 17 Jul 2025 06:07:28 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/these-yaber-and-lg-projectors-are-still-at-prime-day-prices/
A Yaber Projector T2 projects a nostalgic glow.

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority

These offers are both available from Amazon. They are “limited time deals.” This means that the sales should end relatively soon, and the discount is automatic. Just throw the item in your cart and check out!

Yaber T2 Outdoor Projector

If you want the best bang for your hard-earned buck, the Yaber T2 Outdoor Projector will be right up your alley. I like saving, so this is actually the projector I personally own! You don’t have to trust me, though. My co-worker Kaytlin also gave it a very favorable review.

One of its main lures is its portability. It has a handle and is easy to carry around, but it also comes with an integrated battery that can run it for about 2.5 hours. This means you can really use it anywhere. You don’t absolutely need an AC outlet.

It projects a pretty decent image, with a Full HD resolution and a 450-lumen brightness. You can expand the projection up to 120 inches, which is pretty huge. I find that it looks great in mid-to-low lighting. Quality starts suffering as soon as brighter lights come into the scene, though.

Yaber Project T2 angled

Audio is surprisingly good for a portable projector of this price. The dual 8W speakers are powered by JBL. They are pretty loud and offer a nice bass. They are definitely better than any other projector speakers I have heard before. This is a welcomed addition, as you can also use it as a portable speaker, if you prefer. And the nice thing is that the battery life extends to 18 hours when using it in audio-only mode.

Now, keep in mind that some small sacrifices had to be made to offer such a good projector at this low price. My main complaint is that it has no smart TV operating system. That said, you get plenty of input methods, such as HDMI, USB for local storage, and mirroring. Additionally, Yaber sells its own Google TV dongle.

Otherwise, the Yaber T2 Outdoor projector is way too good for its price, especially at this discounted offer.

LG CineBeam Q HU710PB 4K Smart Portable Projector

Now, if you want to take things up a notch and are a much more demanding projector user, here’s a nice sale on the LG CineBeam Q HU710PB 4K Smart Portable Projector. It’s $746.99, but this is also a much better projector, and it happens to be at an all-time low price.

As the name entails, this one has a 4K resolution, and you can also extend the image up to 120 inches. Not only that, but this one is a laser projector that can reproduce 154% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. It is very color accurate, and offers a 500-lumen brightness. It will look gorgeous.

LG CineBeam Q HU710PB 4K Smart Portable Projector on shelf

There’s also the advantage of having a built-in smart TV OS. More specifically, it comes with LG’s webOS platform. This gets you access to all your favorite streaming apps, as well as mirroring for both Android and iOS.

Of course, it also helps that it comes from a well-recognized brand. It also happens to be very nicely designed. It measures only 5.5 x 5 x 3 inches! It is tiny, even smaller than the Yaber one listed above. However, while it is easier to carry around, the LG CineBeam Q has no integrated battery. This means you will need to plug it in to use it.


If you want true portability and a fantastic price, we recommend the Yaber T2 Outdoor projector. Those who want outstanding quality from a more popular brand should pick the LG CineBeam Q HU710PB 4K Smart Portable Projector. Regardless of which one you prefer, though, make sure to act quickly. These are all-time low prices, and those offers don’t usually last long.

AirPods Max vs Beats Studio Pro

If you’re looking for noise-cancelling over-ear headphones, you can get the AirPods Max for $429, a cool savings of $120. But I recommend grabbing a pair of Beats Studio Pro for $170 instead. Not only are they cheaper, but you get many of the same features, better battery life, and a lighter design. AirPods Max are nice, but they haven’t been updated in a meaningful way since their 2020 debut.

This M4 MacBook Air is a steal

This isn’t technically a Prime Day sale since it’s been at this price for about a week, but the MacBook Air for $849 is an incredible price for a near-perfect laptop. This model with 16GB of RAM would have cost you $1,299 at the Apple Store just a year ago, and now it has a faster chip and a better webcam. There’s no better mainstream laptop you can get for this price.

The iPad Air is cheaper than ever

We’re used to the iPad Air being on sale, but it’s never been this cheap. The M3 iPad Air, which was released in March, is $120 off in all sizes, storage options, and colors, the first time it’s ever been under $500. We’ll admit that there isn’t much new from the M2 model, but it’s still the sweet spot for nearly every iPad user: Cheaper than the Pro, bigger than the mini, and perfect in every way.

This Eve Smart Triple Outlet & Power Meter normally costs $100, but today it’s down to $75, an all-time-low. It’s basically the Cadillac of power strips, with three generously spaced power outlets controlled by Siri, easy scheduling, surge protection, overcurrent protection, and overvoltage protection, and the ability to track each outlet’s total power consumption and learn the projected cost so you can shut down anything that’s costing you money. Plus its sleek design looks so great you’ll want to keep it on your desk.

If you’re a coffee or tea connoisseur, I can’t recommend this Govee Smart Electric Kettle enough. Down to $54, an all-time low and $10 cheaper than the $64 I paid, it’ll keep your water at a precise temperature, start on a schedule, and shut down instantly, all with your iPhone.

Apple dual-port USB-C charger for $20 off

Dual-port USB-C chargers are indispensible and Apple’s is one of the best out there. At $59, it’s a little too high to recommend, but it’s down to $39 right now. Overnights, vacations, wherever you go it’ll keep your devices charged—and you won’t even notice it’s in your bag. Even if you already have one, it can’t hurt to snag a second.

AirPods 4 with ANC are a fantastic affordable alternative to AirPods Pro, but this deal has us doing a double-take. Amazon knocked them down to just $119 on the first day of Prime Day, a straight-up ridiculous savings of $60. I can’t recommend a better pair of earbuds with active noise cancellation at this price range so go grab a pair.

Apple’s AirTags are probably its most underrated product and have saved me from losing my keys more times than I want to remember. Normally $99 for a 4-pack, which is a great price already, you can get them during Prime Day for $68, just $17 per AirTag. You’ll need a keyring holder to attach them to your keys, but they’re cheap too.

One of the web’s longest-running tech columns, Android & Chill is your Saturday discussion of Android, Google, and all things tech.

Prime Day has always been the day when I tell myself I’m not going to buy anything I don’t need or waste money on stupid things. Then I do both.

This year will be different; it has to be because I’m broke. Even if I wanted to buy a bunch of gadgety toys, I can’t, because a life-changing medical issue and a whole lot of expensive water damage to my house have left me with no money, maxed credit cards, and bills to pay. The tank is dry, and now I have to fill it up again.

It’s not all bad. I have a phone that will last me until at least next year, a Chromebook that will be updated for a while, and a drawer filled with gadget junk I’ve already bought that I can tinker with all over again. You never know, I might be able to do something new and cool because ideas are free, and old stuff can be useful sometimes.

We’ll be buying a bunch of boring household stuff if we can find it in bulk and on a good sale. Stuff like trash bags, laundry detergent, and assorted crap that everyone needs. I figure between Amazon and Walmart — which you know is going to have a bunch of stuff on sale to compete — we can actually save a few bucks in the long run by spending it up front. Every penny counts.

However, I also need to ensure that the things I can’t afford to replace will last until I can. I have learned that it’s always better to spend a few dollars in advance to try and prevent breaking or losing your stuff, which will cost a lot of money to replace. Things like phones. Especially phones.

Your phones and watches need protection

I’m shopping for a good screen protector and a case for my phone, my work phone (or I can let it break and ask for a new one), and my wife’s phone. Usually we buy a new phone because we either really wanted one or because the one we have stopped working. My wife is especially hard on the screen and has busted more than a few over the years. She says that doesn’t happen to me because I’m lower to the ground, but I chalk it up to my jungle-quick catlike reflexes and superhuman speed.

Either way, a good screen protector and a case I can stand (I really don’t like either and never use them) will mean my phone has a better chance of surviving until I can afford to replace it. Same for my wife’s. If I have to spend $100 to potentially save $1,000, I’m good with that.

The same goes for our watches. I use a Garmin and my wife has a Pixel Watch, and both of them still work great. I’m sure they will keep it up for at least another year unless they get broken or lost. I know they make screen protectors for watches, and I’ll be buying a couple as well as a new silicone band for each. I’m also going to see what the case situation is. Yes, you can buy a case for your smartwatch.

Tablets, computers, and cables

My wife uses a Galaxy Tab, and I have an iPad here as well as a Chromebook I use for work. All three need to keep running until I can afford to replace them.

I know they make cases and screen protectors for both tablets, and I have seen some for a laptop before. If there’s stuff to fit my Chromebook, I’m going to add it to my budget.

I know I’m quickly reaching the limit of what I can afford to spend, but I also want to buy two USB chargers and two new high-quality cables. They can sit in the package until I need them, and it will be cheaper than running out to Walmart after work and grabbing one because I need it right away.

All of this is going to cost me some money, and I know that. It will also help make sure I don’t have to spend more later, or even worse, need something and not have the funds to get it.

It’s okay to be cheap, and Prime Day is your time

My wife says I secretly love this because I’m a cheap bastard who never likes to spend money. She’s right and wrong — I am cheap, and that has taught me how to get more by spending less. I’m doing it because I have no choice, though.

Those fancy headphones I’ve been wanting will just have to wait.
