Meanwhile, ETH Exchange Reserves have plunged to 18.38 million, a 12-month low, at press time. The supply crunch, paired with demand spikes, has set up a classic squeeze scenario.

This strengthens the case for continued upside.

Meanwhile, the MACD remained in bullish alignment, with both the MACD and signal lines trending upward. Despite three consecutive red candles, volume was declining – a sign of consolidation.
As long as key momentum indicators stay positive, ETH’s structure remains bullish, with dips likely to be absorbed by ongoing institutional accumulation and spot demand.
