According to on-chain analytics platform Glassnode, Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, appears to be range-bound between $1,548 and $1,599, where nearly 793,900 and 732,400 ETH are being held, respectively, indicating market indecision as bulls and bears battle for control.
Though this remains significant, what is catching further attention is a support zone forming around $1,461. According to Glassnode, support may be building at this key level, where a whopping 380,000 ETH have been accumulated.
This might act as a defense for ETH's price, potentially cushioning further downside in the near term, Glassnode noted.

While the overall market remains cautious, such large holdings around critical price levels frequently suggest that investors might be positioning themselves for a potential rebound or, at the very least, expect near-term stability.
What's next for ETH price?
This week, the Ethereum price has continued its zigzag trend. At press time, ETH was down 2.3% in the last 24 hours to $1,551, extending a drop that had seen it lose 13% in the previous week, despite most majors falling 2% on average during the same period.
Vladislav SopovA break in either direction from $1,548 and $1,599 would cause ETH to escape its current range trading. This would cause ETH to target $2,022 and $2,809, which correspond to the daily SMA 50 and 200, respectively.
In the event of a drop, if Ethereum maintains its foothold above the $1,461 level, it could provide a foundation for the next leg upward — assuming market sentiment improves. Unless a major shift occurs, ETH remains range-bound, with traders closely watching both resistance and support levels.
According to Ali, a crypto analyst, Ethereum Entity-Adjusted Dormancy Flow has dropped below one million. This historically indicates a macro bottom zone, meaning ETH might be undervalued and long-term holders less inclined to sell. It might suggest that low sentiment or capitulation may have occurred, or ongoing accumulation.
