A new report from Glassnode has revealed a historically significant Ethereum level that could mark the start of an overheated phase if breached. Ethereum Is Moving Towards Active Realized Price In its latest weekly report, the on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about some valuation models for Ethereum. The models in question are the Realized Price, True Market Mean, and Active Realized Price. Related Reading: XRP Whales Move $759M In Token: What Are They Up To? The first of these, the Realized Price, refers to the average cost basis or acquisition price of all tokens of the cryptocurrency that are currently part of the circulating supply. The other two models, the True Market Mean and Active Realized Price, also aim to find the network cost basis, but both of these exclude for the long-dormant coins. Such tokens are likely to be lost due to missing wallets keys, so they aren’t part of the economic supply. Thus, these models may provide for a more accurate measure of the market situation than the Realized Price. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the three on-chain pricing models for Ethereum over the last few years: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum Realized Price, True Market Mean, and Active Investor Price are situated around $2,100, $2,500, and $3,000, respectively. This means that at ETH’s current spot value, all models agree that the holders as a whole are in the green. But now that the asset has escaped above these lines, what could be next? “In order to gauge upside targets for this ETH rally, we can turn to the +1 standard deviation band of Ethereum’s Active Realized Price,” notes Glassnode. The +1 standard deviation (SD) band of the indicator happens to be where selling pressure has intensified in the past. The reason behind the trend may lie in the fact that investor profits become significant beyond this boundary, so mass selloffs with the purpose of profit-taking can become more likely to take place. Below is a chart that shows where this level currently lies for ETH. From the graph, it’s visible that the Ethereum Active Realized Price +1 SD is located at $4,500 today. ETH is currently still at a distance from the level, but if its recent bullish push continues, it might end up retesting it. In the current cycle so far, ETH has tested the boundary once, in March 2024. Back then, the cryptocurrency found rejection at it. In the 2021 bull run, the coin was able to surge past it, but in doing so, it kicked off the unsustainable euphoria market phase. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Out Of Bull Pennant—Is $15 Now In Sight? “As such, $4,500 can be identified as a critical level to watch on the upside, especially if Ethereum’s uptrend continues and speculative froth builds further,” explains the analytics firm. ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is floating around $3,600, up almost 7% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Glassnode.com, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin continues to hover below its all-time high, with current trading levels near $118,000 reflecting a 0.6% daily drop and a 3.8% pullback from the peak above $123,000 recorded earlier this month. While the broader trend remains uncertain, analysts have assessed on-chain activity for signs of the next major move. Recent data from CryptoQuant analysts highlights a divide between retail and institutional behavior across leading exchanges, raising questions about potential profit-taking or strategic accumulation. Related Reading: Bitcoin Must Defend This Key Support For $180,000 Year-End Target, Analyst Says Bitcoin Retail Traders Sell into Strength, While Whales Accumulate On the one hand, short-term holder (STH) behavior on Binance suggests some market participants are opting to take profits following the asset’s strong rally. On the other hand, Kraken has recorded a sharp outflow of Bitcoin, a movement typically associated with whale activity or long-term accumulation. This contrasting activity across platforms suggests a split in market sentiment, with retail traders potentially trimming their exposure and larger players preparing for sustained upside. According to CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha, the Binance Exchange Inflow Ratio for Short-Term Holders recently crossed the 0.4 level, historically linked to increased retail selling pressure. These STHs, who typically hold Bitcoin for fewer than 155 days, tend to deposit funds to exchanges during periods of price strength to lock in gains. The spike above this threshold may indicate a growing tendency among retail investors to exit positions in anticipation of volatility. In contrast, the same analysis pointed to significant outflows from Kraken, with over 9,600 BTC withdrawn on July 22, one of the highest single-day outflows seen in recent months. Taha interpreted this as a potential signal of whale accumulation, with institutional or high-net-worth participants removing assets from exchange custody, often in preparation for long-term storage. This divergence in behavior between Binance and Kraken highlights the differing strategies employed by market segments, with retail users leaning toward short-term positioning and whales opting for long-term accumulation. Binance Reserve Trends Highlight Strengthening Profit Margins Adding another layer to the evolving market picture, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost shared that Binance’s unrealized profit on its Bitcoin reserves has hit an all-time high of approximately 60,000 BTC. This figure has grown despite a gradual decline in total BTC reserves held on the platform, which have fallen from 631,000 BTC in September 2024 to 574,000 BTC as of now. A portion of these holdings, around 16,000 BTC, is locked in custodial wallets to back the BTCB token on the BNB Chain, serving operational purposes. Darkfost emphasized that decreasing exchange reserves are often interpreted as a sign of investor confidence, reflecting a preference to store Bitcoin in personal wallets rather than leaving it on centralized platforms.
