Addresses linked to the Balancer attacker just shifted 5609 ETH, valued at $13 million, into THORChain over the past nine hours, per on-chain data. This follows the November 2025 hack that drained over $116 million from Balancer, with suspicions pointing to the North Korean Lazarus Group—the same crew eyed in the Aave exploit. Both operations ramped up high-frequency laundering through Tornado Cash recently, a go-to for mixing stolen funds across chains like Bitcoin (BTC) swaps on THORChain, underscoring persistent crypto hacking incidents and ETH laundering methods in the ecosystem.

On the ETH 4-hour chart, price action clings to $2317.45 in a bearish setup, pinned below the EMA50 resistance at $2326.04 while finding tentative footing above the EMA200 support at $2233.89. The MACD death cross at -6.03 screams downside conviction, yet a neutral RSI of 45.57 hints at no immediate exhaustion. Volatility squeezes inside the Bollinger Bands, with upper resistance at $2408.8 capping rallies and lower support at $2277.96 as the next breakdown target—confluence here suggests sellers dominate unless buyers reclaim that EMA50, potentially stalling any ETH price prediction rebound amid these crypto market crash vibes from ongoing hacks.
