  • A whale accumulated 28,672 ETH, worth $48.5 million from Binance and Coinbase over the past two months. 
  • Supply on exchanges decreased and metrics looked bullish. 

Ethereum’s [ETH] much-awaited Shanghai upgrade is around the corner, and investors are excited.

The upgrade will finally allow investors to withdraw their staked Ethereum. Amidst the excitement, a Twitter handle by the name Technical Crypto Analyst revealed an update that was in investors’ favor.

Reportedly, 60% of all staked ETH was locked on-chain around the current ETH price or even higher.

The crypto community’s response to it was bullish. Some expected that the 60% of Ethereum staked would reduce the possibility of a sell-off after the Shanghai upgrade. Thus, giving rise to the opportunity for a price uptick.

Accumulation is on the rise!

Lookonchain’s data was also encouraging, indicating increased ETH accumulation. Notably, whale “0xB79c” accumulated 28,672 ETH, worth $48.5 million, from Binance and Coinbase over the past two months. This development suggested that the whales were expecting ETH’s price to pump further. 

It’s interesting to note that whale and shark addresses with 100,000 ETH still hold close to 47% of the total ETH supply.

Increased accumulation was yet again proven through Santiment’s chart, as the total supply on exchanges registered a decline over the last month.

Besides, ETH’s exchange outflow spiked lately. Furthermore, ETH’s supply held by top addresses was also on the rise, reflecting whales’ confidence in the king altcoin.

On the other hand, LunarCrush’s data revealed yet another bullish update regarding Ethereum. The king of altcoins made it to the list of the top 15 cryptos in terms of the Galaxy Score, which was an optimistic sign for the token holders. 

All the updates, when combined, suggested a possible price uptick in the coming days after ETH’s dormant price action in the last 24 hours.

As per CoinMarketCap, ETH was trading at $1,701.26 with a market capitalization of more than $208 billion, at press time.

ETH’s exchange reserve was decreasing, which was a positive signal as it suggested less selling pressure.

The taker buy-sell ratio was positive, which indicated that buying sentiment was dominant in the derivatives market.

Santiment’s chart further showed that ETH’s Binance funding rate was up. Thus, reflecting its demand in the derivatives market.

Additionally, Ethereum’s MVRV Ratio registered an uptick, increasing the chances of a price surge.
