The worth of Ethereum [$ETH] was altering palms at $2,508.45 after a hike of 4.1% previously 24 hours.
This was anticipated to steal the highlight, as this largest altcoin has struggled loads since February 2026 to reclaim above the resistance stage at $2500. Nevertheless, apart from bearish stress and consolidation phases, $ETH didn’t see a serious bullish push.
Normally in such eventualities, the RSI reaches the overbought territory. Although $ETH did attain that zone, now it’s slowly coming all the way down to the 60-70 RSI vary, suggesting robust bullish momentum.

In actual fact, based on CryptoQuant’s knowledge, Ethereum’s MVRV had remained beneath 1.00 for 200 consecutive days. Nevertheless, the state of affairs modified on the twenty first of August, 2026, when Ethereum’s MVRV moved again above 1.00 for the primary time in these 200 days.
This was when $ETH had recovered above its reported realized value of round $2,300. Nevertheless, crossing above MVRV 1.00 will not be mechanically a assure that $ETH will proceed rising. In actual fact, the realized-price space can initially create promoting stress.
Subsequently, it’s necessary for $ETH to keep up its value above the $2,300 realized-price stage. It is because somebody who purchased $ETH at $4,000 would nonetheless be underwater at $2,404, whereas somebody who purchased at $1,500 could be considerably worthwhile.
Bearish momentum has not vanished
This comes as an enormous Ethereum whale seems to have offered its complete 167,855 $ETH place—price roughly $408 million on the reported costs—over a interval of about 5 days. In accordance with Lookonchain knowledge, the pockets first acquired the 167,855 $ETH from a number of addresses after which started sending the cash to exchanges comparable to OKX, Binance, and Bybit.
Within the reported transactions, round 70,739 $ETH price roughly $174 million had already been deposited, whereas roughly 97,115 $ETH price about $237 million remained within the pockets on the time of reporting. Now that is anticipated so as to add some promoting stress on the $ETH value motion.
This additional coincided with the Coldcard-linked hacker starting to swap stolen Bitcoin for Ether by means of THORChain, shifting about 10% of the stolen funds whereas 90% stays untouched.
Nevertheless, with Spot Ethereum ETFs recording month-to-month inflows price $365.17 million in July, $1.85 billion in August, and $104.26 million in September to this point, hope stays.
However with AMBCrypto not too long ago reporting that $ETH’s value stalled close to $2,458, bulls haven’t but established $2,500 as strong help.
