pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The price has been trading near the $1,800\u2013$1,900 zone, an area that has repeatedly acted as support during recent sell-offs.<\/p>\n<p>This level matters because it reflects a point where sellers appear to be losing momentum.<\/p>\n<p>The broader market context remains cautious, but Ethereum\u2019s behaviour suggests the panic phase may be fading.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past month, ETH has declined sharply from its previous highs, erasing a large portion of earlier gains.<\/p>\n<p>That drop pushed sentiment into deeply bearish territory.<\/p>\n<p>However, sharp declines often set the stage for reassessment rather than continued free fall.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum now appears to be testing a local bottom rather than accelerating lower.<\/p>\n<h2>ETH technical analysis<\/h2>\n<p>On the chart, Ethereum has been consolidating after bouncing from recent lows.<\/p>\n<p>This type of sideways movement often follows strong sell-offs.<\/p>\n<p>Momentum indicators show selling pressure easing, even if bullish strength remains limited.<\/p>\n<p>However, ETH is still trading below key moving averages, which confirms that the broader trend has not fully flipped.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_362255\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-362255\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"

width=\"1367\" height=\"907\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-362255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ethereum price chart | Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the same time, the distance from these averages highlights how stretched the downside move has become.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, similar conditions have preceded relief rallies or longer periods of accumulation.<\/p>\n<p>Support around the $1,800 range has held despite multiple tests.<\/p>\n<p>Each successful defence of this zone strengthens its importance.<\/p>\n<p>A clean break below it would reopen the door to deeper losses.<\/p>\n<p>For now, buyers seem willing to step in at these levels.<\/p>\n<p>Resistance, however, remains overhead near the psychological $2,000 mark.<\/p>\n<p>A sustained move above that area would likely improve the short-term sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>But until then, ETH remains in a cautious recovery phase rather than a confirmed uptrend.<\/p>\n<h2>On-chain activity shows whale accumulation<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond price action, on-chain data shows large holders have been steadily increasing their ETH balances.<\/p>\n<p>This behaviour often signals long-term confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Whale accumulation, however, does not guarantee immediate price gains.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it suggests that experienced players see value at current levels.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, derivatives data show declining open interest, pointing to reduced leverage in the market.<\/p>\n<p>Often, lower leverage typically means less forced selling during volatility, although Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has been offloading his ETH during the bearish market.<\/p>\n<p>Vitalik Buterin earmarked 17,000 ether, worth about $43 million, for privacy projects in January.<\/p>\n<p>A month later, his wallet balance is down by roughly that amount, and the token he\u2019s selling has lost more than a third of its value.<\/p>\n<p>Arkham Intelligence data shows Buterin\u2019s attributed wallets held about 241,000 ETH at the start of February.<\/p>\n<p>That figure now sits at 224,000 ETH after a steady series of outflows through the month, including $6.6 million over three days earlier in February and roughly another $7 million in the past three days alone.<\/p>\n<p>While Vitalik\u2019s ETH selling can weigh on sentiment, its actual impact on overall liquidity has been limited.<\/p>\n<p>Most notably, Ethereum\u2019s daily trading volume has remained large enough to absorb these offloads.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6
