Ethereum (ETH) holders appear to be adopting varying strategies amid ongoing market uncertainty, latest data from CryptoQuant shows.
Particularly, according to a recent analysis by a CryptoQuant analyst under the pseudonym ‘Darkfost,’ a noticeable shift in ETH’s investor behaviour is taking place.
So far, larger holders of Ethereum and smaller retail investors are exhibiting signs of inactivity, while mid-sized holders show a measured increase in their holdings.
This divergence in strategies among these market participants may provide insight into Ethereum’s market sentiment, especially as it faces a decline in dominance, Darkfost revealed.

Detailing The Holders Divergence
Darkfost points out that Ethereum addresses holding more than 100,000 ETH have been largely inactive. This trend is also visible among retail addresses, which typically accumulate smaller amounts of ETH.
In contrast, addresses holding between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH are slowly buying more Ethereum. At the same time, addresses holding between 100 and 1,000 ETH continue to sell off their holdings steadily.
This diverse behavior among different investor segments suggests a complex market outlook for Ethereum. The inactivity of large holders, those with balances exceeding 100,000 ETH, is notable, given their potential impact on the market.
Usually, large holders include institutional investors, exchanges, and major entities that can significantly influence market trends.
Their current reluctance to engage in either buying or selling suggests uncertainty about Ethereum’s near-term prospects. This hesitation might reflect broader market factors, such as the upcoming US Fed rate cuts or the overall performance of the crypto market.
Notably, with the US fed rate cut approaching, large Ethereum holders might be sitting on their hands to see how the market will play out before they put their feet back in the market.
On the other hand, mid-sized investors, specifically those with 10,000 to 100,000 ETH, are gradually accumulating Ethereum. This slow but steady buying indicates a cautious optimism among this group of investors.
These mid-sized holders often represent smaller institutions, crypto funds, or high-net-worth individuals who may be looking to capitalize on potential price gains without significantly impacting the market.
Their gradual accumulation could signal a belief in Ethereum’s long-term potential, even if immediate gains appear uncertain.

Ethereum Current Market Performance
Following an initial rally rising by nearly 5% yesterday, Ethereum has now seen a noticeable pullback in price, dropping below $2,400 once again. Currently, the asset trades at a price of $2,299, at the time of writing down by 2.1% over the past day alone.
Interestingly, despite the noticeable decline, ETH’s daily trading volume remains intact, at roughly above $14 billion from yesterday until now.
