Ethereum (ETH), the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has created a perplexing scenario for investors recently. Despite a noticeable decline in its price, on-chain data reveals that large investors, often referred to as “whales,” are accumulating ETH. This could signal a potential buying opportunity, though technical indicators suggest a weakening uptrend, leaving Ethereum’s near-term future uncertain.

Ethereum Whales See Opportunity In Price Dip
In recent analysis by NewsBTC, it was revealed that wallets holding over 10,000 ETH have been steadily acquiring more tokens since the end of May. This period of accumulation, based on Glassnode data, coincides with a drop in Ethereum’s price from around $3,074 to its current price of $3,670. The significant increase in holdings by these large investors suggests that they see the current price decline as an attractive entry point, anticipating a future price rise.
Adding to the bullish sentiment, CryptoQuant’s Netflow data for Ethereum has shown a dominance of negative flows in recent weeks. This means more ETH is leaving exchanges than entering them, a traditional indicator that investors are holding onto their ETH rather than selling it. This behavior can reduce the available supply on the market, potentially pushing prices up in the long run.

Technical Indicators Raise Red Flags
Despite the optimistic signs from whale accumulation and exchange outflows, technical indicators paint a less rosy picture. Ethereum has been trading in a narrow range around $3,600 for the past three days, showing a slight decline of approximately 0.8% today. While the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above 50, indicating a slight uptrend, it is currently on a downward trajectory. If this trend continues and the RSI falls below the neutral line, it could suggest a potential price dip.
