Large Ethereum holders acquired $29 million in ETH as the cryptocurrency shows signs of potential recovery. Ethereum (ETH) is trading at ₹2,15,476 ($2,266.97). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by TronWeekly, with live market data added, as of Sun, 01 Nov 2026 12:15:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The significant accumulation by Ethereum whales could signal renewed confidence in ETH's price trajectory, potentially influencing broader market sentiment and liquidity.

Key takeaways
  • Ethereum whales bought 13,002 ETH worth $29.09 million from exchanges.
  • ETH price is testing $2,200 support, with analyst targets of $5,500-$7,000.
  • Current market conditions remain cautious with Fear & Greed at 34 (Fear).

Large Ethereum holders have recently acquired a significant amount of ETH, with two wallets receiving 13,002 ETH, worth approximately $29.09 million, from exchanges FalconX and OKX. This accumulation comes as ETH's price shows signs of potential recovery.

Analyst Alex Marzell views the current pullback in ETH's price toward the $2,200 level as a possible breakout retest. Marzell has set longer-term price targets for Ethereum between $5,500 and $7,000, suggesting a bullish outlook if the cryptocurrency can maintain its momentum.

The broader cryptocurrency market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.69 trillion. Bitcoin has seen a modest 24-hour increase of 0.87%, while Ethereum is up 1.17% in the same period, currently trading at $2,268.49. The overall market sentiment, as indicated by the Fear & Greed Index, remains in 'Fear' territory at 34.

This accumulation by Ethereum whales could indicate a shift in sentiment among large holders, potentially providing support for ETH's price. The $2,200 level will be a key point to watch, as a successful retest could pave the way for further upward movement.

Investors and traders will be closely monitoring ETH's price action in the coming days to see if it can sustain its recovery and if the bullish targets set by analysts like Marzell come to fruition.
