Ethereum (ETH) is trading near $4,000 after bouncing from a low of $3,900 earlier this week. While the token is up about 4% over the past seven days, it has seen a decline of 3% in the last 24 hours. ETH remains about 19% below its all-time high of $4,950 (CoinGecko).<\/p>\n

Data from Alphractal shows<\/a> a sharp increase in the number of Ethereum addresses holding more than 1,000 ETH. This rise in large wallet balances has drawn attention in recent sessions.<\/p>\n

ETH Leaves Exchanges as Supply Shrinks<\/h2>\n

Supporting this, data from CryptoQuant shows ETH reserves across all exchanges have dropped by about 1 million coins since late September. The figure has fallen from 16.8 million to 15.8 million ETH, indicating a steady outflow over the past month.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, these withdrawals suggest ETH is moving into self-custody, a sign often seen as a longer-term holding. The price has held steady above $4,000 during this shift, suggesting reduced sell pressure in the short term.<\/p>\n

Bigger Players Increase Exposure<\/h2>\n

Institutional interest in Ethereum has also risen. CryptoPotato reported<\/a> that ETH held by institutions has grown nearly four times faster than Bitcoin over the last year. This shift may point to a growing role for Ethereum in large portfolios.<\/p>\n

Bitmine, a firm backed by Tom Lee, recently bought<\/a> 27,316 ETH worth over $113 million. The firm now holds 3.34 million ETH, valued at $13.3 billion. Lee has said<\/a> ETH could reach $15,000 by December, though such targets remain speculative.<\/p>\n

Key Levels Hold as Market Waits<\/h2>\n

Ethereum is trading in a tight range between $4,000 and $4,150. As we reported<\/a>, a similar pattern was seen in mid-2025, when ETH moved sideways before jumping from $2,500 to $3,800. Some analysts view the current structure as a possible base.<\/p>\n

BitBull noted<\/a> that \u201cas long as the $3.8K\u2013$4K zone holds, there\u2019s no reason to be bearish on Ethereum<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Short-term price action remains sensitive. Another analyst pointed out<\/a> ETH dropped to $3,900 before bouncing and added,<\/p>\n

\u201cthis selling is likely tied to de-risking ahead of the FOMC meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
