Can $4 Billion Ethereum Buying Undo First Death Cross In 9 Months?

Ethereum is facing renewed downward pressure as its price slipped below the critical $3,000 level, leaving the altcoin stuck beneath a major psychological barrier. However, this drop has failed to trigger fear across the market, leading to major buying from ETH holders who appear increasingly bullish about short-term price stability. Ethereum Holders Buy Heavily The balance of Ethereum held on exchanges has witnessed a dramatic decline this week. ETH supply on trading platforms fell from 2.77 million ETH to 1.41 million ETH — a staggering 136 million ETH drop. At current prices, this represents nearly $4 billion in buying. Such a massive outflow reflects confidence from investors who chose to accumulate as Ethereum fell below $3,000, awaiting recovery While exchange outflows sometimes panic selling, the pace and timing of this drop suggest accumulation rather than pessimistic repositioning.

Ethereum’s exponential moving averages formed a Death Cross this week — its first in more than nine months. This crossover ends the Golden Cross structure that began in July, which had supported Ethereum’s strength during the summer rally. Historically, a Death Cross on Ethereum has paved the way for short-term consolidation or minor relief rallies, followed by renewed declines. This pattern increases the probability that ETH may trade sideways before encountering additional downward pressure. ETH Death Cross.

Losing this psychological threshold triggered the wave of $4 billion in buying as investors consider this to be a bottom for ETH and are accumulating to capitalize on the eventual gains. If broader conditions stabilize, ETH could regain bullish momentum. A decisive reclaim of $3,000 would open the path toward $3,131 and potentially $3,287. This would help Ethereum continue its recovery and rebuild confidence among holders. ETH Price Analysis.

If market conditions worsen or investors continue to sell, Ethereum could break below $2,681 and slide toward $2,606 or lower, invalidating the bullish thesis.
