A whale withdrew 6,989 ETH from Binance over three weeks, shrinking exchange supply and signaling a growing accumulation pattern.
Ethereum remains above key moving averages despite low volume, suggesting underlying strength and potential support for a breakout.
Continued whale accumulation and exchange outflows raise the chances of a price surge if demand increases near the $2,700 resistance.
A major Ethereum whale address, 0x1fc7, has withdrawn an additional 1,900 ETH worth approximately $4.86 million from Binance. This transaction, recorded just two hours ago, adds to a growing pattern of significant accumulation. Over the past three weeks, the same address has withdrawn a total of 6,989 ETH, valued at around $17.5 million.
The ongoing withdrawals have notably reduced the available Ethereum supply on Binance, which is the largest ETH trading platform. When whales transfer assets to staking or cold storage, it reduces the liquid supply, limiting immediate availability for trading. If this pattern continues while demand rises, it may create conditions that trigger rapid price movement due to thinner order books.
Ethereum holds key technical levels
Although spot trading is minimal, ETH has experienced more stability and a narrow range of trading between 2400 and 2700 American dollars in the last few weeks. It is literally concentrated between the range of 2,400 and 2,500, as the token is trading above the 50-day and 100-day moving averages. In the meantime, the 200-day moving average is still increasing, keeping the long-term support growing.

The RSI is now at 55 with neutral momentum. This positioning shows that this asset is neither in overbought nor oversold regions, which still allows the possibility of a break. When the outflows continue to be driven by whales and the exchange supply is low, it could force volatility to worsen, particularly when the prices have started getting challenged by the strategic resistance points.
Market awaits catalyst amid tight consolidation
Ethereum's current price behavior shows a coiling formation, often interpreted as the market awaiting a catalyst. This technical setup, combined with declining supply on exchanges, suggests that any demand spike could result in a swift price reaction. Continued staking and off-exchange transfers may intensify these effects.
Investors are watching the $2,700 resistance level closely. If ETH breaks above this threshold while exchange reserves stay low, a price surge toward $3,000 or beyond is more likely. The reduced liquidity could amplify price movements on smaller volumes, echoing previous market cycles where similar conditions preceded extended rallies.
