Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading above the $4,400 level, showing resilience despite recent selling pressure and market-wide volatility. However, price action has entered a consolidation phase, with bulls struggling to reclaim higher levels and momentum appearing muted. This has fueled speculation across the market, as analysts remain divided on ETH’s next move. Related Reading: Solana Investors Cash Out Nearly $1-B As SOL Tests Key Price Level Some market participants expect Ethereum to retrace below $4,000, pointing to weakening momentum and sustained resistance near the $4,600–$4,800 range. They argue that a correction could provide healthier conditions for the next major leg upward. On the other hand, more optimistic analysts see this consolidation as a launchpad for a breakout, with ETH potentially pushing above the $5,000 mark in the coming weeks if demand remains strong. Supporting the bullish case, CryptoQuant data reveals that despite Ethereum’s ongoing correction following its recent all-time high, demand for ETH remains robust. Exchange reserves continue to trend lower as investors withdraw their holdings, while onchain activity highlights persistent accumulation. This divergence between price volatility and underlying demand suggests that ETH fundamentals remain solid. Ethereum Demand Remains Strong Despite Correction According to CryptoQuant analyst Crypto SunMoon, Ethereum continues to demonstrate strong investor interest despite its recent price correction. After reaching new all-time highs, ETH has entered a consolidation phase, pulling back from peak levels. Yet, unlike many assets that typically see declining demand during corrections, Ethereum’s fundamentals show a different picture. Data highlights a clear divergence between Ethereum and Bitcoin reserves on Binance. While Bitcoin reserves have remained relatively stable, Ethereum reserves have shown a persistent downward trend. This consistent outflow indicates that market participants are actively withdrawing ETH from exchanges, a common sign of accumulation. Investors appear more inclined to hold Ethereum in private wallets or deploy it in decentralized finance (DeFi), reflecting growing confidence in its long-term potential. This trend also aligns with the broader capital rotation from Bitcoin to Ethereum that has been unfolding in recent weeks. Reports of whales moving billions into ETH have repeatedly surfaced, reinforcing the narrative that large players are positioning for Ethereum’s next major move. Even as short-term volatility pressures the price, demand dynamics suggest that institutional and whale interest is not only intact but increasing. For many analysts, this divergence between stable Bitcoin reserves and falling Ethereum reserves underscores Ethereum’s leadership in the current market cycle. While BTC remains the benchmark for crypto, ETH’s role as a cornerstone of DeFi, Layer 2 scaling, and institutional adoption continues to attract capital. Ultimately, the resilience of Ethereum’s demand during a corrective phase signals strength beneath the surface. If accumulation persists, the consolidation period could set the stage for Ethereum’s next breakout, potentially pushing prices toward the $5,000 level and beyond. Related Reading: Galaxy Digital Sells 1,167 Bitcoin Amid Ongoing Volatility Price Analysis: Holding Key Support Amid Consolidation Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading around $4,440, holding above key support levels despite recent volatility. The chart shows that ETH has been consolidating after retracing from its recent all-time highs near the $4,900 region. Importantly, the 50-day moving average (blue line) continues to act as immediate support, aligning closely with the current trading zone. The price action reflects indecision as bulls attempt to defend the $4,400–$4,300 zone, which has now become a critical demand area. A breakdown below this range could expose ETH to further downside toward the $4,000 psychological level and the 100-day moving average (green line), which would serve as the next layer of support. On the other hand, reclaiming momentum above $4,600 could pave the way for another test of the $4,800–$5,000 region. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Climbs As Monthly Transactions Hit New All-Time High From a technical perspective, the consolidation phase appears constructive as ETH continues to trade above its 200-day moving average (red line), highlighting the strength of its long-term bullish structure. While selling pressure remains visible, fundamentals and recent whale accumulation trends provide a supportive backdrop. The coming sessions will be decisive, with ETH needing to hold current support levels to prevent a deeper retrace and set up for its next breakout attempt.

On-chain analytics platform Santiment has weighed in on whether the Bitcoin price has reached its bottom, following its drop to the $108,000 range. The platform alluded to the current social sentiment, suggesting that a further drawdown may be looming. Bitcoin Price Bottom Not Yet In Amid Spike In Social Dominance In a research report, Santiment indicated that the Bitcoin price bottom may not yet be in, considering the surge in the social dominance of ‘buy the dip’ mentions. The platform explained that a true bottom is often marked not by price but by a shift in social narrative from ‘buy the dip’ optimism to widespread fear. This creates a strong bearish case that discourages buying. Related Reading: Analyst Warns Investors To Avoid Bitcoin At All Cost As Price Is Going Below $60,000 Santiment suggested that the Bitcoin price typically rebounds when the sentiment is bearish and when investors least expect an uptrend. However, for now, market participants are still getting “antsy and trying to find some entry spots now that prices have cooled down a bit, Santiment analyst Brian Quinlivan explained. The analyst opined that the cooldown in the Bitcoin price so far is not a huge one, while noting that BTC has detached from the S&P 500. Quinlivan predicted that BTC and other crypto assets could play catch-up to the stock market when the crowd stops getting too optimistic about buying the dip. He added that the true ‘buy the dip’ opportunities happen when the crowd stops believing there is an opportunity. In the research report, Santiment noted that the current ‘buy the dip’ chatter needs to be suddenly replaced by discussion of the narrative that supports the bearish case. In line with this, the platform advised market participants to pay close attention to the dominant social narrative. According to the report, when the conversation shifts from hopeful buying to widespread fear, it can be a stronger bottom signal than the Bitcoin price alone. Another Metric To Keep An Eye On The Santiment report indicated that BTC whale transfers are another key metric to watch for, as they can help determine if the Bitcoin price has reached its bottom. These whales, wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC, have not been selling off in any significant way despite the market dip. Related Reading: MicroStrategy Successfully Claims 3% Of Bitcoin Supply, Here’s How Much It’s Now Worth According to Maksim, who joined Santiment analyst Brian on the podcast, whenever these wallets do decrease their holdings, it can lead to “postponed price suppression weeks thereafter.” Therefore, Santiment advised market participants to monitor the holdings of large Bitcoin wallets. A lack of selling from whales could indicate underlying strength, while a significant drop can be a warning of future price weakness. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $107,800, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

A long-dormant Bitcoin “OG” has been rotating billions of dollars’ worth of BTC into ETH over the past two weeks, executing the bulk of the trades on Hyperliquid and withdrawing large tranches of ETH to self-custody—before staking a significant portion on the Beacon Chain. Bitcoin OG Whale Still Rotates Into ETH On-chain sleuth “MLM” has chronicled the flows in real time. In the most recent 46-hour window, the address cluster associated with the trader sold 7,000 BTC (≈$759 million at reference prices used by MLM) and bought 171,791.84 ETH (≈$773 million). MLM added that 3,000 BTC remained in the actively used source address—likely earmarked for further rotation—while two older wallets still held a combined 46,816 BTC (≈$5.07 billion). Cumulatively across the past 11 days, MLM tallied 34,110 BTC sold (≈$3.7 billion) and 813,298.84 ETH purchased (≈$3.66 billion), using $108,400 per BTC and $4,500 per ETH as baseline pricing for comparability. The execution venue has become part of the story. Hyperliquid’s public explorer (HypurrScan) shows heavy activity at the Hyperliquid account cited by MLM, corresponding with phased BTC deposits and batched ETH withdrawals. “MoonOverlord”—a trader—downplayed the mystery around the venue choice: “idk why it’s bizarre? it’s a trade, he picked the best venue.” MLM replied that the oddity is not the platform but that “the identity of this person is unknown, and he decided to swap such a large amount of BTC to ETH, which is unusual for a ‘og’ bitcoin whale.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Risks Deeper Losses If $107,800 Line Fails To Hold – Details Arkham Intelligence independently flagged the same entity, writing: “THIS WHALE JUST BOUGHT $430M OF ETH – AND STILL HAS $650M LEFT TO BUY,” and identifying specific addresses on both chains. According to Arkham, the whale “has purchased over $3 BILLION of ETH in total and staked the majority of it,” with flows linking a BTC source wallet beginning “169q…” and an ETH receiver “0x6167…”. Those staking claims are now visible on-chain. On September 1, funding flows from 0x6167… led to a “Beacon Depositor” account that submitted a series of deposit transactions totaling 165,010 ETH to Ethereum’s staking contract, with dozens of 30,000 ETH-sized and 15,010 ETH-sized deposit calls posted within the same hour. The deposit contract view and the funding trail from 0x6167… corroborate that a substantial slice of the newly acquired ETH has moved directly into staking. On the Bitcoin side, the active source wallet “169q…” and two long-idle companion wallets “17MWd…” and “12Xqe…” anchor the cluster that MLM has been tracking since last week. Mempool records show recent inter-wallet activity and outputs from 169q… consistent with the staged deposits to Hyperliquid described in the thread. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Closes Below STH Realized Price For The 2nd Time In 2025 — Details The trader’s provenance is still speculative. MLM argues the entity is “presumably Asian,” noting that the original BTC was accumulated seven to eight years ago via Asia-linked platforms and miners—“HTX, OKX, ViaBTC (a mining pool), Bixin (a miner), and Binance.” But MLM cautioned readers not to over-interpret intent: “Of course, don’t take this prediction as financial advice, since it’s all speculation for now and we don’t know the intentions of this whale.” $5 Billion Selloff Still Looms While commentators are debating motives, the mechanics are clear: staged BTC funding to a single trading venue, piecemeal ETH fills to minimize slippage, rapid withdrawals to self-custody, and swift conversion of a large portion to staked ETH. The cadence of deposits and withdrawals—some clustered over weekends—also lines up with timing observations in MLM’s logs and Arkham’s updates. What remains uncertain is how much further the rotation will go. MLM’s running ledger suggested that at least several thousand BTC were still poised to move: “Additionally, there’s another combined 46.816 BTC ($5.07B) across these wallets: 17MWd [and] 12Xqeq. Of this, another 14.495 BTC ($1.57B) might get rotated based on previous activity, though it’s unclear what will happen with the remaining 32.321 BTC ($3.5B). At this point, it looks like he is rotating everything lol.” At press time, BTC traded at $109,621. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
