Ethereum On-Chain Demand Should Sustain ETH Above $4,000, IntoTheBlock Says

The market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock has revealed how
Ethereum has built up strong on-chain demand zones that should keep
it afloat above $4,000. Ethereum Has Two Major Support Centers Just
Below Current Price In a new post on X, IntoTheBlock has discussed
about how the on-chain demand zones for Ethereum are looking right
now. Below is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the
amount of supply that the investors bought at the price ranges near
the current spot ETH value. As is visible in the graph, the
Ethereum price ranges up ahead have only small dots associated to
them, meaning not much of the supply was last purchased at those
levels. It’s different for the price ranges below, however, with
the $3,772 to $3,892 and $3,892 to $4,011 ranges in particular
hosting the cost basis of a significant amount of addresses. In
total, the investors purchased 7.2 million ETH (worth almost $28.4
billion at the current exchange rate) at these levels. Related

Explains Why Demand zones are considered important in on-chain
analysis due to how investor psychology tends to work out. For
any holder, their cost basis is an important level, so they can be
more likely to make a move when a retest of it occurs. When this
retest occurs from above (that is, the investor was in profit prior
to it), the holder might decide to purchase more, thinking that the
level would be profitable again in the near future. Similarly,
investors who were in loss just before the retest might fear
another decline, so they may sell at their break-even. Naturally,
these effects don’t matter for the market when only a few investors
participate in the buying and selling, but visible fluctuations can
appear when a large amount of holders are involved. The
aforementioned price ranges satisfy this condition, so it’s
possible that Ethereum retesting them would produce a sizeable
buying reaction in the market, which would end up providing support
to the cryptocurrency. During the past day, Ethereum has seen a
slight dip into this region, so it now remains to be seen whether
the high demand can push back the coin above $4,000 or not. Related

Says In some other news, the Ethereum Exchange Netflow has been
negative since the beginning of this month, as IntoTheBlock has
pointed out in another X post. The Exchange Netflow is an on-chain
indicator that keeps track of the net amount of Ethereum that’s
flowing into or out of the wallets associated with centralized
exchanges. “Over 400k ETH have flowed out since December 1st,
suggesting a trend of accumulation,” notes the analytics firm. ETH
Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $3,950, up
10% over the last week. Featured image from Dall-E,
