 <p>Moreover, Santiment data shows that the amount of Ethereum supply outside exchanges has been constantly hitting new all-time highs since March. Per the data, 35.9 million coins are sitting in non-exchange addresses, showing signs of long-term accumulation.</p> 
 <p>Ethereum has been consolidating between $1,825 and $1,870 over the past week. The asset is up by 0.2% in the past 24 hours and trading at around $1,830 at the time of writing. The upward momentum comes as ETH’s 24-hour trading volume surges by 25%, currently sitting at over $3.5 billion.</p>
