Ethereum Exchange Exodus Deepens: $380M Withdrawn As Crucial Support Level Emerges

Source Newsbtc

Ethereum has recently regained bullish footing, climbing to $1,847 after dipping below $1,750 toward the end of April. This rebound follows a period of volatility, with price movements fluctuating between $1,740 and $1,847 over the past seven days.

Amid the uncertainties in the wider crypto market, Ethereum’s ability to reclaim higher ground appears to align with shifting investor behavior, especially on centralized exchanges, where a noticeable number of Ether have been withdrawn in the past seven days.

$380M In ETH Pulled From Exchanges As Accumulation Trend Increases

According to IntoTheBlock, the past week saw over $380 million worth of Ethereum withdrawn from centralized trading platforms. This net outflow shows an increasing wave of accumulation among crypto investors. These investors are moving their assets into self-custody, which is often a sign of long-term conviction. 

The accompanying data chart underscores this momentum, highlighting five consecutive days of negative exchange netflows across aggregated platforms spanning 19 crypto exchanges.

Notably, the last time these exchanges saw a positive inflow of Ethereum was on April 27, with $50 million worth of ETH. Interestingly, just 24 hours prior, these aggregated exchanges witnessed a negative 166.68 million worth of Ethereum flows. Such an exchange flow dynamic brings forth the idea that Ethereum investors may be preparing for a rally.

Significant exchange outflows are known to precede notable bullish advances, and current the behavior mirrors previous price action where decreasing exchange balances acted as a precursor to sustained rallies. Notably, the current withdrawal trend coincides with the Ethereum price pushing back above the $1,800 mark.

Crucial Ethereum Support Zone At $1,770 

The ongoing accumulation is further supported by crypto analyst Ali Martinez, who recently pointed out a crucial Ethereum support level. According to Martinez, the $1,770 region is currently the most significant level for Ethereum in the short term, citing data from IntoTheBlock’s “In/Out of the Money Around Price” model. 

The In/Out of the Money Around Price model shows a high concentration of wallets (roughly 4.5 million addresses) having acquired 6.36 million ETH between $1,772 and $1,824. These holders are now “in the money” following Ethereum’s return to $1,845, which makes this zone a psychological stronghold.

The implication of this support zone is clear. If Ethereum sustains above this demand cluster, the probability of further upward movement increases. However, any retracement below $1,770 could invalidate the current bullish structure and expose Ethereum to downside volatility.

For now, the net flows from exchanges indicate that Ethereum might be able to hold its ground around this $1,770 level. The less Ethereum available on exchanges, the less selling pressure. On the other hand, the next resistance cluster to get above in the short term is at $1,881.

At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,845, up by 1% in the past 24 hours.
