According to <a href="https://x.com/intotheblock/status/1837031512690032645" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IntoTheBlock</a>, over 150,000 ETH were deposited to exchanges in the past day, marking the highest single-day inflow since January, raising concerns about a potential Ethereum sell-off.
In its tweet, IntoTheBlock noted that such substantial inflows often indicate rising selling pressure, as users may be looking to capitalize on recent price movements — whether to secure profits or limit further losses.

Cryptocurrencies gained as part of a wider market rise Thursday, a day after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by half a percentage point, the first in more than four years; <a href="https://u.today/ethereum-eth-fees-skyrocket-heres-key-reason-behind-it" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> rose more than 6%.
According to CoinMarketCap <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a>, the price of Ethereum was up 4.7% at $2,544 at the time of writing, continuing a surge that began before to the central bank's decision on Wednesday. If ETH closes higher today, it would have gained for the fourth day in a row since Sept. 17.
Currently, it seems that the Ethereum price is absorbing the current selling pressure, as ETH holders show diverging strategies.
According to <a href="https://x.com/cryptoquant_com/status/1836337916685013331" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CryptoQuant</a>, ETH addresses holding 100,000 ETH balances, along with accumulating retail addresses, appear to be inactive. Meanwhile, addresses with balances between 10,000 ETH and 100,000 ETH are buying, but at a slow pace. However, addresses holding 100 ETH to 1,000 ETH continue to sell steadily.

On the upside, if the bulls can keep the ETH price above the 50-day SMA at $2,540, it could indicate that the bears are losing their grip. Ethereum rose to a high of $2,573 during today's trading session.
The focus will be on the <a href="https://u.today/ethereum-creator-makes-key-clarification-on-eth-holdings-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH price's</a> activity to see if it can persist above this level and, thus, surge to $2,850. Buyers must pass this level to indicate a probable trend change.
On the downside, $2,250 is a significant support level to watch for. If this support fails, the selling might accelerate, with Ethereum falling below $2,111 and finally to $2,000.
