Arkham reports the wallet added another $21.59M of ETH, lifting total three-day buys to roughly $152.81M. The entity behind 0x8E3 is not disclosed. Data source: Arkham on X: wallet 0x8E3 accumulation.

Large single-wallet bids can absorb supply and sway near-term sentiment. Follow-through from broader demand would be key if it emerges (NewsBTC on recent deleveraging).

ETH testing critical level on TradingView

ETH remains below key moving averages that slope down. The $2,100–$2,200 zone is flagged as a pivot; a break above would signal recovery potential, while failure implies more consolidation (chart).
