Ethereum Exchange Inflows Decline As Sellers Cool Off, Will Price Follow?

Ethereum exchange inflows had been on the high side for the better
part of the past week. They averaged above $1 billion each day
giving credence to the sell-off trend that has been experienced in
the market. However, it seems there is a turn in the tide coming.
As the weekend draws to a close, exchange inflows have been on the
decline. This signals that the sellers are entering into a cool-off
period that could potentially alter the price movement. Inflows
Fall Below $1 Billion This week had opened up with alarming inflows
into exchanges. Although the outflows had been enough to offset
this, the rate at which investors were moving their Ethereum into
exchanges was enough to be a cause of alarm. At its peak, Ethereum
had seen $5.2 billion flowing into exchanges in a single day,
rivaling even that of bitcoin. Related Reading | Experts

would continue for the next couple of days where inflows had been
lower than this peak number but remained above the $1 billion mark.
That is until the midweek trading market where exchange inflows had
slowed significantly and finally dropped below $1 billion. In the
past 24 hours, the amount of ETH flowing into exchanges had dropped
to $880 million. This signals that sellers are now taking a break
from flowing the market with coins. 📊 Daily On-Chain Exchange

had been offset by outflows. The accumulation frenzy among
investors was enough to stall sellers who were trying to pull down
the price, although not for the last 24 hours as outflows had been
lower by inflows by $99.5 million. Will Ethereum Price Follow?
Ahead of the opening of the trading day on Thursday, Ethereum’s
price has not been doing well on the charts. It continues to suffer
dips that have put it close to testing the $2,900 once more. It is
following the general trend of the crypto market but the digital
asset on its own is not doing too well according to indicators. ETH

of the scenarios where Ethereum continues to fall short is on the
short-term trend. It is still trading below the 50-day moving
average, an important point to hold if there is to be any bullish
trend for the short term. The current price does not fall below
this range by a large margin but is still enough to question if
there is enough momentum for a recovery in the coming days. Related

next significant support level for the digital asset lies at
$2,824. This means that if bears are able to beat it down past
$2,900 this morning, then further dips are expected before the
cryptocurrency may be able to find adequate support. On the
flip side of this, the first major resistance point now sits at
$3,015. However, as it has proven in the last couple of days,
reaching the $3,000 is a harder sell than falling to $2,800.
