Ethereum On-Chain Demand Should Sustain ETH Above $4,000, IntoTheBlock Says
Ethereum On-Chain Demand Should Sustain ETH Above $4,000, IntoTheBlock Says The market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock has revealed how Ethereum has built up strong on-chain demand zones that should keep it afloat above $4,000. Ethereum Has Two Major Support Centers Just Below Current Price In a new post on X, IntoTheBlock has discussed about how the on-chain demand zones for Ethereum are looking right now. Below is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the amount of supply that the investors bought at the price ranges near the current spot ETH value. Looks like there are two large zones under the current price of the asset | Source: IntoTheBlock on XAs is visible in the graph, the Ethereum price ranges up ahead have only small dots associated to them, meaning not much of the supply was last purchased at those levels. It’s different for the price ranges below, however, with the $3,772 to $3,892 and $3,892 to $4,011 ranges in particular hosting the cost basis of a significant amount of addresses. In total, the investors purchased 7.2 million ETH (worth almost $28.4 billion at the current exchange rate) at these levels. Demand zones are considered important in on-chain analysis due to how investor psychology tends to work out. For any holder, their cost basis is an important level, so they can be more likely to make a move when a retest of it occurs. When this retest occurs from above (that is, the investor was in profit prior to it), the holder might decide to purchase more, thinking that the level would be profitable again in the near future. Similarly, investors who were in loss just before the retest might fear another decline, so they may sell at their break-even. Naturally, these effects don’t matter for the market when only a few investors participate in the buying and selling, but visible fluctuations can appear when a large amount of holders are involved. The aforementioned price ranges satisfy this condition, so it’s possible that Ethereum retesting them would produce a sizeable buying reaction in the market, which would end up providing support to the cryptocurrency. During the past day, Ethereum has seen a slight dip into this region, so it now remains to be seen whether the high demand can push back the coin above $4,000 or not. In some other news, the Ethereum Exchange Netflow has been negative since the beginning of this month, as IntoTheBlock has pointed out in another X post. The trend in the ETH Exchange Netflow over the last month | Source: IntoTheBlock on XThe Exchange Netflow is an on-chain indicator that keeps track of the net amount of Ethereum that’s flowing into or out of the wallets associated with centralized exchanges. “Over 400k ETH have flowed out since December 1st, suggesting a trend of accumulation,” notes the analytics firm. ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading around $3,950, up 10% over the last week.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to. In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions. Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true. Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment.. Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form. Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new. As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money. Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs. Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
