CryptoQuant, a data resource, reported that Ethereum accumulation addresses received 330,705 Ether (ETHUSD) worth $883 million in a single day. This is the highest daily inflow ever recorded. Consequently, the total ETH held by these long-term holders hit a new high of 19.24 million. This represents a significant 20.55% increase in 2025, despite a 20.75% decline in ETH price over the same timeframe.

Accumulation addresses are wallets that consistently receive ETH without making any outgoing transactions. They are often owned by long-term holders, institutional investors, or entities strategically accumulating Ethereum instead of actively trading it.

Large inflows into these addresses usually indicate a strong belief in Ethereum’s long-term potential. Historical trends show that such inflow spikes often precede price rallies. For instance, Ethereum accumulation addresses logged a record daily inflow of over 244,000 ETH on February 26, 2023, and nearly two months later, ETH’s price surged by almost 35%.

Accumulation trends are also reflected in the ongoing increase in ETH held by American spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are currently at levels similar to those seen in November 2024. This was when Donald Trump’s reelection as US president spurred a bullish bias across the crypto market.

MAC_D, a CryptoQuant analyst, views these large inflows into accumulation addresses as a reflection of anticipated DeFi regulatory de-risking under Trump’s pro-crypto policies. This suggests that smart money is likely to accumulate aggressively, irrespective of the price.

Despite these positive indicators, Ethereum continues to face stiff competition from other layer-1 blockchains, notably Solana (SOL), and its path to $4K is fraught with challenges. However, if Ethereum can adapt to the rising competition and leverage regulatory momentum, it could reach $4,000 and beyond, according to Nansen’s Aurelie Barthere.

CoinMarketCap data shows that ETH’s weekly price performance is currently at -8.72%, with its price standing at $1,932.51 at the time of writing. Ethereum’s price broke below the $2,017 support level over the last 36 hours, following a drop below the 9-day EMA line on Wednesday.

ETH’s Price Squeezed Between 20-Day EMA and Support Level

Ethereum’s price is currently being squeezed between the 20-day EMA line and the support level at $1,920, which may result in a breakout within the next 24-48 hours. Technical indicators on the daily chart suggest that this breakout could be towards the upside, with the 9-day EMA trading above the 20-day EMA and the daily RSI line leveling out in neutral territory.

In the event of a bullish breakout, Ethereum’s price will aim to challenge the $2,017 mark. Conversely, a break below the current support level could see Ethereum’s price drop to $1,818 within the next 24-48 hours.
