Ethereum Exchange Balance Turns Negative for First Time, Analysts See Bullish Signal

Ethereum (ETH) has reached a historic milestone as its exchange balance has turned negative for the first time. This indicates that more tokens are being withdrawn from trading platforms than deposited, signaling a potential bullish trend for ETH.

Key Developments

  • Ethereum's exchange flux is negative, suggesting reduced selling pressure and increased investor confidence.
  • Historically, rising exchange balances indicate selling pressure, while falling balances suggest coins are moved to private wallets, reducing liquidity.
  • Billions worth of ETH have been removed from centralized exchanges, coinciding with heightened demand and a target price above $5,500.
  • Market tops typically occur after inflows into exchanges rise, indicating Ethereum may be in an accumulation phase rather than a sell-off.
  • Long-term holders gaining control over supply could lead to upward price momentum.

Price Target Projection

  • Technical analyst Crypto Goos reports that ETH has broken out of a long-term wedge pattern, which had constrained price action since 2021.
  • The breakout level was around $3,600, and ETH is now significantly above this level.
  • Crypto Goos projects a potential price target of $7,000, implying a 62% increase from current levels above $4,300.
  • If momentum continues, ETH may exceed the $7,000 mark.
