Ethereum (ETH) still appears range-bound on the chart, but the underlying data is starting to diverge in a meaningful way. Over the past week, more than 101,000 ETH has been accumulated, pushing large holdings close to 5 million ETH, while spot ETF inflows have now crossed $12 billion, with consistent capital entering the market. At the same time, Ethereum continues to hold firmly above the $2,300 level, showing sustained demand despite the absence of a breakout.
At the same time, the ETH/USDT price chart shows a developing “follow-on buying” zone, where higher lows are beginning to form after the initial rebound. This suggests that buyers are stepping in progressively, not aggressively, which is consistent with early-stage accumulation rather than late-stage momentum.
On the upside, the immediate level to watch sits near $2,800, which acts as a key resistance. A sustained move above this level would confirm strength and open the path toward $3,300, where the next supply zone is positioned. On the downside, the $2,200–$2,300 range remains critical. A breakdown below this zone would weaken the current structure and indicate that accumulation has not fully stabilized yet.
Overall, Ethereum is no longer in a corrective phase, but it has not transitioned into expansion either. The current structure reflects a base-building phase, where demand is gradually returning before any directional move unfolds.
