It's pretty obvious that whales are trading btc for eth in order to begin a large pump and dump run ahead of the Ethereum upgrade/merge news.

Noobs will never learn I guess.
Just how I expected this to play out.
People are getting their ETH buy orders ready today, but will they remember to put their sell orders 1 month from now?
something big is coming so they said, they're referring to the merge.
its crazy they are expecting ETH to be $17k in the next bull run. who wouldn't want that profit so if its going to materialized i'm really going to miss the opportunity of a life time because i'm not buying ETH. but i'm also going to be saved when all these will flop.
