The attacker behind the Venus Protocol exploit has sprung into action, transferring 2,301 ETH valued at roughly $5.32 million to address 0xa21...23A7f eleven hours ago, then batching it into Tornado Cash for laundering. Chain data shows $17.45 million in ETH still sitting in the wallet, echoing the patient nine-month buildup in the March 2026 Venus hack that drained $3.7 million from the BNB Chain. Meanwhile, the Kelp DAO exploiter has funneled over 31,000 ETH—about $72.58 million—into mixers and privacy protocols over the past 15 hours, leaving 75,125 ETH worth $174 million in ongoing operations, a stark reminder of DeFi's vulnerability amid rising crypto exploit funds movement and ETH price prediction volatility.

Zooming into the ETH 4-hour chart, price action screams controlled bullish momentum as it tests the upper Bollinger resistance at $2,363.43, backed by a golden cross on the MACD at -1.75 signaling fresh upside conviction. With the RSI at 59.65 holding neutral ground and the 50-EMA at $2,314.15 acting as rock-solid support above the 200-EMA at $2,212.49, we're eyeing a tactical pullback to that 50-EMA level before buyers pile in for another leg higher—classic confluence play in this Bitcoin-dominated cycle, where lower support at $2,269.47 could trap shorts if volatility spikes.
