Ethereum is holding above the $2,000 level as selling pressure begins to build again, placing the market in a fragile position after recent recovery attempts. While price has managed to remain above this key psychological threshold, momentum is weakening, with sellers increasingly active on short-term rallies. Related Reading: Ethereum Exchange Inflows Signal Shift: Whales Reduce Selling Pressure At the same time, structural developments beneath the surface suggest a more complex dynamic. A recent surge in Ethereum staking activity at Bitmine, a Fundstrat-backed institutional platform focused on large-scale ETH accumulation and yield strategies, is drawing attention. Just two days ago, Bitmine staked an additional 94,670 ETH, worth approximately $204 million, bringing its total staked holdings above 3 million ETH. This is significant for several reasons. First, staking effectively removes ETH from the circulating supply, tightening liquidity in the spot market. Second, it reflects a long-term conviction strategy, as staked assets are typically locked and aligned with yield generation rather than short-term trading. In the current environment, where selling pressure is increasing, this type of institutional behavior provides a counterbalance. While price action remains uncertain, large-scale staking by entities like Bitmine suggests that some participants are positioning for longer-term upside, even as short-term volatility persists. Bitmine Locks Majority of ETH Holdings as Staking Strategy Deepens Data from CryptoQuant further highlights the scale and intent behind Bitmine’s Ethereum strategy. The platform now holds approximately 3,135,185 ETH staked, representing around $6.75 billion, with 68.22% of its total holdings locked in staking contracts. This level of commitment is notable, as it signals a deliberate shift toward long-term yield generation rather than short-term liquidity management. From a structural perspective, this concentration of staked ETH has direct implications for market dynamics. By locking a significant portion of its holdings, Bitmine is effectively removing supply from the liquid market, contributing to tighter circulating availability. In periods of stable or rising demand, this type of supply constraint can amplify price movements, particularly if broader participation increases. However, the signal is nuanced. While large-scale staking reflects institutional conviction, it also reduces flexibility. Locked positions cannot be quickly redeployed in response to market changes, which suggests confidence in Ethereum’s medium- to long-term outlook. In the current context, where selling pressure is gradually increasing, this behavior stands in contrast to more reactive market participants. It reinforces the idea that while short-term sentiment remains cautious, strategic capital continues to position for structural upside, potentially shaping the next phase of Ethereum’s market cycle.

The chart shows a clear loss of bullish structure, with ETH failing to sustain higher highs and instead forming a sequence of lower highs since late 2025. From a higher timeframe perspective, the trend remains structurally bearish. Price remains below the 50-period and 100-period moving averages as the 200-period moving average slopes downward overhead. This alignment reinforces the idea that broader momentum is still negative, with rallies likely to face resistance in the $2,800–$3,200 range. Related Reading: Solana Structure Fractures: Accumulation In Spot Clashes With Derivatives Selling Pressure The recent price action reflects compression rather than expansion. After the February sell-off, ETH has entered a sideways range, with relatively tight price movement compared to prior volatility. This type of consolidation often indicates a temporary balance between buyers and sellers, but within a broader downtrend, it typically resolves in the direction of the prevailing trend unless strong demand emerges. Volume patterns show elevated activity during the initial decline, followed by reduced participation during consolidation, suggesting a lack of aggressive accumulation. In the near term, holding the $2,000 level is critical, while a breakout above $2,300 would be required to challenge the current bearish structure.

Bitcoin miner selling pressure has fallen sharply, with BTC inflows from miners to Binance dropping to levels not seen since mid-2023. The shift matters because miner distribution is one of the market’s more persistent sources of structural sell-side pressure, and the latest data suggests that pressure has eased for now. In a post via X on Sunday, CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost said the monthly average of BTC inflows from miners to Binance has fallen to roughly 4,316 BTC. When the same activity is measured across all exchanges, the figure rises only slightly to 4,381 BTC, reinforcing the point that the slowdown is not limited to a single venue. Bitcoin Miner Selling Pressure Drops The reversal follows a brief spike earlier this year tied to extreme weather in the United States. According to Darkfost, miner inflows picked up during the ice storm that hit the country in late January and early February, when several large US-based mining pools were forced to scale back or temporarily suspend operations. That disruption, he argued, likely translated into heavier BTC sales as miners worked to cover ongoing expenses despite reduced output. Related Reading: Bitcoin Market Not Ready For Expansion Yet — Blockchain Firm “It is important to recall that during this weather event, several large US based mining pools were forced to slow down or temporarily halt their operations,” Darkfost wrote. “Even when activity is reduced, however, fixed costs remain high, including electricity, infrastructure, and operational expenses. This situation likely pushed some miners to increase their BTC sales in order to maintain liquidity.” That dynamic now appears to have faded. “Since then, the trend has clearly reversed,” he added, describing current inflows as having fallen to “historically low levels.” He noted that a similarly weak reading for miner transfers to Binance was last seen on June 5, 2023. The broader implication is straightforward: miners are currently sending less BTC to exchanges, which in turn suggests they are selling less into the market. Darkfost framed that as a constructive development, writing that “the current decline in inflows suggests that miners have significantly reduced their BTC sales, which can be interpreted as a constructive signal for the market, as structural selling pressure from this cohort appears to be temporarily easing.” That does not mean the risk has disappeared. Darkfost estimates that miners still hold around 1.8 million BTC in reserves, a stockpile large enough to matter if market conditions change and distribution accelerates again. In other words, the absence of aggressive selling is supportive, but it is not the same as a supply overhang vanishing altogether. Related Reading: Bitcoin Risks Drop To $52,000, Veteran Analyst Aksel Kibar Says The miner data also arrives alongside signs that Bitcoin is still trying to rebuild a firmer base among short-term holders. In a separate post, Darkfost said the market has spent nearly a month attempting to stabilize above the cost basis of the youngest short-term holder cohort, the 1-week to 1-month group. That cohort’s estimated breakeven level sits at $68,200, making it the only short-term holder segment currently around flat. Further up the ladder, the pressure points are steeper. The 1-month to 3-month cohort has an estimated cost basis of $83,500, while the 3-month to 6-month group sits even higher at $96,900. Darkfost said the 1-month to 3-month level acted as resistance the last time price approached it, as many short-term holders used the move to exit, pushing the broader short-term holder segment back into unrealized loss. At press time, BTC traded at $68,553. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
