– Shares of Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc (NYSEAMERICAN: BMNR) rose in premarket trading Wednesday on the back of a recovery in Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH).

The recovery in ether comes after a sharp drop that saw the asset depreciate about 38% over the past month.

Crypto analyst Don Wedge drew attention to this situation, pointing out that ETH is in a significant support area, from which two scenarios are possible – either a rebound from the current levels, or a breakdown of an important support level before further growth.

BitMine has been intensively adding to its Ethereum inventory during the downturn. Last week, the firm purchased 51,162 ETH worth $98 million. By Monday, its total crypto holdings had reached about 4.4 million ETH – about 3.66% of the total coins in circulation.

This purchase contrasts with the actions of Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin, who sold 3,788.57 ETH worth about $7.3 million in three days, according to Lookonchain.

BitMine has risen 273.85% over the past year, although it is now quoted 42.7% below its 100-day and 200-day moving averages (SMA), set at $35.17 and $35.16, respectively.

ETHN ETHN is showing a significant move away from its 52-week peak of $161.00 and is approaching the lower boundary of the same period at $3.92.

ETH is trading at $1,923.02, up 5.53% over the past 24 hours, with a market capitalization of approximately $232 billion. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) was trading at $65,410.16, up 3.51% overnight, according to CoinMarkteCap.
