This renewed buying pressure from major investors is being demonstrated in the recent surge in the number of coins acquired by accumulation wallet addresses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Behind The Ethereum Slow Price Momentum<\/h2>\n<p>The price of Ethereum may be exhibiting sluggish performance on the surface, but beneath the market noise, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-turning-point-supply-demand-structure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">a noticeable shift<\/a> in investor sentiment. Currently, ETH investors are turning up at a fast rate in the volatile crypto environment.<\/p>\n<p>CW, a crypto analyst and data analyst, has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CW8900\/status\/2006678177293463877?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reported<\/a> an uptick in buying activity as observed in the rise in the ETH Balance on Accumulation Addresses metric, which is historically linked to long-term holding behavior. Investors\u2019 activity moving against price action is an indication of rising conviction among patient players. Furthermore, this divergence points to a maturing stage of strategic accumulation even as the broader sentiments signal persistent caution.<\/p>\n<p>Since the altcoin\u2019s price reached around the $2,800 price mark, CW highlights that the number of ETH held by accumulation addresses saw a sharp uptick, increasing by 5.2 million ETH. The chart shows that the cumulative coins held by the investors have increased to more than 27 million ETH.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-651785 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ethereum-chart-from-CW.jpeg?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ethereum-chart-from-CW.jpeg?w=1600 1600w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ethereum-chart-from-CW.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ethereum-chart-from-CW.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ethereum-chart-from-CW.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ethereum-chart-from-CW.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ethereum-chart-from-CW.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Ethereum-chart-from-CW.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p>Following the decline in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/eth\/ethereum-price-bearish-move-2900\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the Ethereum price<\/a>, buying activity from large investors or whale holders has accelerated, bringing their total holdings to 26.78 million ETH. Such a rise in whale accumulation suggests that the cohort is exhibiting renewed conviction in the altcoin\u2019s long-term action.<\/p>\n<p>CW stated that the buying activity is a positive signal for the Ethereum market. This action is currently observed across the broader crypto market as massive accumulation is taking place on <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-ethereum-crypto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">other coins<\/a>, such as Bitcoin. As a result, the expert is confident that the market is still in its bull phase.<\/p>\n<h2>Large Holders Doubling Down On ETH<\/h2>\n<p>Large holders are making an obvious move toward Ethereum, which is stacking up the leading altcoin, as reported by Milk Road, a market expert. Milk Road <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MilkRoad\/status\/2006447797885874549?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">determined<\/a> this action among the cohort by examining the ETH Balance by Holder Value.<\/p>\n<p>Milk Road\u2019s research is primarily centered among wallet addresses holding between 10,000 ETH and 100,000 ETH. Data from the metric shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ethereum\/ethereum-back-3200-sharks-strong-accumulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">accumulation<\/a> from the group has gone parabolic in the past few days. This change implies that strategic players might be positioning ahead of a larger market movement despite the suppressed short-term price movements.<\/p>\n<p>After years of steady decline, the expert noted that these wallets are climbing fast again and are now back near all-time highs. In simple terms, the biggest <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-whale-redistribution-continues-moves-5000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Ethereum whales<\/a> are returning to the market and are aggressively increasing their stash. Should this accumulation continue, it could mark the foundation for ETH\u2019s next significant trend.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/OJOH6mVv\/\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"2084\" height=\"1552\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum investors appear to be stepping back in as they double down on the leading altcoin despite its price struggling to produce another significant upward move.
