Ethereum Whales Are Accumulating Again, Hinting A Strong Market Rebound

• Ethereum whales and sharks are accumulating again, signaling renewed confidence in the network’s long-term outlook.
• Softer U.S. inflation reignites rate-cut expectations, potentially improving market liquidity conditions for Ethereum’s ecosystem.

Ethereum’s market movements have once again attracted attention after signs emerged that large holders are beginning to change course.

According to the latest data from Santiment, whales and sharks holding between 100 and 10,000 ETH appear to have increased their balances. However, between October 5th and 16th, they had previously sold around 1.36 million ETH.

Now, they have repurchased around one-sixth of that amount. In a market often driven by the sentiment of large investors, such moves are often seen as a sign that they are beginning to see considerable potential.

Furthermore, global macro conditions are also contributing to the situation. US CPI data for September 2025 showed a 0.3% monthly increase and a 3.0% annual increase. This figure was slightly lower than the expected 3.1%.

Although the difference was small, the market immediately speculated that the opportunity for another interest rate cut could be open. If the Fed eases, market liquidity could potentially increase, and assets like Ethereum would typically have more room to move freely.

Accumulation Trends Increasingly Visible

Not only are large wallet movements becoming more prominent, but Ethereum reserves on exchanges are also steadily decreasing. The CNF reported a few days ago that Ethereum’s exchange reserves continue to shrink, while large-scale spot orders increasingly dominate on-chain activity.

Such a situation usually indicates a decreasing supply available for trading. If demand remains stable or even increases, supply pressure could potentially push prices higher.

Interestingly, a few days ago, news emerged that investors from Asia were ready to establish a new $1 billion Ethereum treasury. The team involved is no ordinary name. Li Lin, the founder of Huobi and now leading Avenir Capital, is joined by Xiao Feng from HashKey Group, Shen Bo from Fenbushi Capital, and Cai Wensheng, the founder of Meitu Inc.

This movement signals that long-term interest in Ethereum does not appear to be waning and may instead be entering a new, calmer, yet deeper phase.

Ethereum Triangle Breakout on the Horizon?

Furthermore, analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that Ethereum is still moving within a technical triangle pattern. This pattern typically signals a consolidation phase.

Martinez believes that if the ETH price manages to break out of this pattern, its movement could push the price towards the ambitious target area of ​​around $10,000.

As of press time, Ethereum is changing hands at about $3,930.31. In the last four hours, it has fallen by around 0.05% but has gained 1.10% in the last 24 hours. Daily spot volume is around $3.81 billion, while open interest has reached $46.02 billion.

This means that interest in ETH in the derivatives market remains quite high. Typically, large open interest indicates a large number of positions awaiting the next major move.
