Over the past few weeks, the Ethereum price has struggled to maintain its bullish momentum from early May. The altcoin has been stuck within a consolidation range, jumping between the $2,500 and $2,700 region. While the Ethereum price sat mostly above the $2,600 level throughout the past week, a market-wide downturn saw the altcoin’s value fall toward $2,400 on Friday, June 6. While the price of ETH has not fully recovered yet, it has at least managed to reclaim the $2,500 level over this weekend. Binance Realized Price Critical For ETH In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, an on-chain analyst with the pseudonym Crazzyblockk revealed that the Ethereum price exhibited an interesting reaction around the $2,392 price level on Friday. The crypto pundit noted that this reaction is not random, as it occurred at a significant on-chain level — the realized price of Binance user deposit addresses.

Crazzyblockk highlighted the realized prices across these cohorts, with that of the Binance User Deposit Address standing around $2,392; OKX User Deposit Address at $2,706; Addresses Frequently Received from CEX at $2,532; and Highly Active Addresses with a realized price of $2,513.  As seen during the latest dip, the $2,392 realized price represents a major on-chain support level, as it is the cost basis of several Binance user deposit addresses. “The market’s bounce from this level highlights the impact of Binance user behavior on ETH’s current price structure,”  Crazzyblockk added. Crazzyblockk also noted that while $2,500 is an average realized price across all the highlighted cohorts, an important detail should not be overlooked — Binance’s influence on the general market. The crypto pundit explained that Binance holds the highest ETH reserves among all centralized exchanges and has strong dominance in ETH on-chain movement. For this reason, the analyst inferred that the realized price of Binance user deposit addresses ($2,392) is a crucial level to watch in ETH’s market structure. As a result, this level should be considered whenever financial decisions on Ethereum are about to be made. Finally, most investors would be in profit if Ethereum’s price stays above $2,500, thereby relieving the market of downward pressure, as investors are less likely to sell when in profit. On the flip side, a drop below $2,500 could result in a wave of unrealized losses for the altcoin’s holders, potentially triggering a sell-off and, consequently, an increase in downward pressure.  Ethereum Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of ETH stands at around $2,523, reflecting a 1.12% jump in the past 24 hours.  Related Reading: Ethereum Stabilizes After Market Drop – Key MA Reclaim Could Trigger A June Rally   Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Over the past three years, bitcoin mining gear has evolved dramatically—from machines cranking out massive terahash to widely available rigs boasting efficiencies under 20 joules per terahash (J/TH). At the World Digital Mining Summit last month, Bitmain pulled back the curtain on a machine delivering over a petahash per second (PH/s) with an energy use […]

Based on reports, a long-dormant Bitcoin whale made a surprise move this week, snapping up 250 BTC for about $26.37 million. It’s the first time this wallet has shown activity in two years. Related Reading: Bitcoin To Hit $180,000 In 2025? Analyst Highlights The Trigger The purchase has stirred talk among traders and on-chain analysts alike. Some see it as a sign that big players are getting ready for more action in the weeks ahead. Whale Returns After Two Years According to Lookonchain data, the same whale pulled 500 BTC out of Gemini back in 2022 when Bitcoin was trading near $27,400, a move worth nearly $14 million at the time. Now, with BTC hovering around $105,000, the whale’s holdings sit on an unrealized gain of over $39 million. That kind of profit margin grabs attention. Other large holders often watch these moves closely. They wonder if this is the start of a wider trend or just one wallet’s play. A whale that had been dormant for 2 years bought another 250 $BTC($26.37M) 9 hours ago. 2 years ago, this whale withdrew 500 $BTC($13.7M) from Gemini at $27,401, now sitting on an unrealized profit of $39M.https://t.co/c0U92isSfc pic.twitter.com/vcb4V3M0Uz — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) June 8, 2025 Big Gains On Early Bet Early adopters have seen massive upside in Bitcoin over the years. This whale’s 2022 withdrawal came just before a multi-year price boom. Since then, Bitcoin has climbed nearly 300%. Not everyone can make moves like that. Small investors often feel left behind when a wallet this size shifts coins. Still, some traders say it can create a ripple of optimism. When big holders buy, retail traders sometimes pile in, chasing the same gains. Technical Indicators Show Mixed Signals On the charts, BTC seems to be shaping an inverse cup-and-handle pattern with a significant neckline at $100,800 serving as major support. The price has fallen into the handle stage, and a dip below $100,800 could propel Bitcoin to $91,000, which coincides with its 200-day exponential moving average (EMA). Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) is 52, indicating the bullish momentum is fading. A fall below 50 could introduce additional selling pressure. For the bulls to regain control, BTC must recapture the 20-day EMA resistance, which is just above $105,000.

The miner capitulation signal was also detected by CryptoQuant’s Hash Ribbons indicator, pointing to near-term pain for worse-off miners, but some potential rallies ahead once they pulled through.
