ETH price jumps as accumulation whales add 246K ETH
Ethereum (ETH) is testing $2.4K as long-term accumulation wallets ramp up buying. CryptoQuant data shows accumulation addresses received 246,620 ETH on Tuesday—about $592M at current rates—highlighting aggressive long-term demand.
Since mid-2025, daily inflows into ETH accumulation addresses have trended higher, reaching an all-time high of 1.14M ETH in Nov 2025 and averaging ~200,000 ETH/day in 2026. These wallets continuously receive ETH with no outgoing transactions, pointing to holders and entities building positions rather than active trading. Total ETH held by such long-term holders is reported at a record 25M ETH, up 20.36% so far in 2026.
Whale balance buckets also look bullish. Wallets holding 10,000–100,000 ETH have risen to an all-time high of 19.5M ETH, while wallets with 100,000+ ETH increased to 4.7M ETH (+30% in 2026).
On the market structure and positioning side, an ETH liquidation heatmap suggests price is eating liquidity around $2,400, with notable bid walls still near $3,000 and between $3,350–$3,500. Analyst CW8900 said a break above $2,500 could keep pushing toward $3,000.
Technically, the ETH/USD pair is working to break above the ascending triangle’s $2,400 level. A daily close above the 200-day EMA near $2,700 is framed as confirmation for a move toward the triangle target around $3,315 (roughly +40%). Elliott Wave commentary also flags potential upside toward ~$3,500 if resistance near $2,600–$2,700 gives way.
Bullish
这则新闻的核心是“ETH price 上涨同时被累计型资金持续承接”。过去的市场经验显示，累计地址（持续流入且几乎不外流）的大额增持，往往意味着更长期的看涨预期，而不是短线接盘。文中提到：累计地址周二净流入约24.66万ETH（约5.92亿美元），2026年平均日流入约20万ETH，并且长期持仓总量（累计地址持有）创纪录增长。这种资金行为通常会强化趋势延续，提高上破关键位后“回撤变浅、买盘更稳”的概率。
短期看，热力图指出2,400附近清算流动性正在被消化，但更高区间仍有买单支撑（3,000及3,350–3,500），如果ETH price 能进一步站稳2,500并在技术面上破2,400与200日EMA（约2,700），则多头更可能延续到三角形目标（约3,315）。
中长期看，累计钱包余额处于上行趋势（2025年11月高点后仍在抬升），这通常为后续行情提供“供给端更难被打穿”的支撑。但也要注意：一旦ETH price 快速拉升后遇到获利盘，清算释放可能导致波动放大。因此交易上更偏向顺势做多、观察突破后的回踩承接，而不是在关键阻力区盲目追高。
