- Ethereum was trading at a key support zone at $2.6k.
- Coinalyze data showed slight bullishness, but it might not be enough to propel an ETH rally.
Ethereum [ETH] showed a slightly more bullish outlook on-chain, and exchange netflow trends showed more consistent accumulation for ETH than Bitcoin [BTC]. Yet, the $2.6k region was a stiff resistance zone.
A recent report noted a high-value transaction of $32 million worth of Ethereum transferred to Coinbase, which could be the next wave of selling. Will the bulls be forced to retreat once more?

The 1-day timeframe showed a strong bearish market structure for ETH. Additionally, the OBV was in a steady downtrend. Despite the price bounce from $2.2k, the OBV has set lower highs over the past ten days.
This was a strong sign that the token does not have the demand necessary to initiate a rally.
Any price moves higher would likely be unsustainable until the OBV changes trajectory to indicate buying pressure in the market.
