The accumulation map shows ETH near the “Steady” zone, historically linked to long-term investor positioning.
Ethereum’s stablecoin supply has climbed to a record $163.5 billion in September 2025, up from $152 billion in August. The increase marks one of the strongest liquidity inflows to the network this year and supports activity across decentralized finance and trading platforms.
Ethereum also generated $99.1 million in network revenue over the past 180 days. The figure reflects steady demand for blockspace as users continue to pay transaction fees. Analyst Cipher X commented,
“More liquidity means higher trading activity, deeper DeFi markets and stronger price support.”
Meanwhile, Ethereum remains the largest platform for DeFi, the total value locked standing at $90.9 billion. According to DefiLlama, this amount has slightly gone down in the last 24 hours, though overall levels are still close to yearly highs.
In addition, user movement is active. The network recorded 540,717 active addresses in one day alongside 64,794 new addresses. Daily transactions stood at 1.66 million, indicating a constant demand across applications such as lending, staking, and trading.
ETH was trading at around $4,360 after nearly two weeks of sideways movement. Resistance sits at $4,500, with a potential move higher targeting $4,883. On the downside, support is seen between $4,200 and $4,100, with deeper levels at $4,060 and $3,880.
Crypto analyst Ted noted,
“Either Ethereum will reclaim $4,500, or a lower flush will happen. Don’t overtrade until there’s a definite direction.”
He also highlighted that Ethereum generated $1.4 million in fees yesterday, the highest among all blockchains.
A fresh monthly MACD crossover has appeared on Ethereum’s chart, which some traders view as a long-term shift after extended consolidation. Merlijn The Trader called it a “monster ignition,” suggesting renewed momentum.
Merlijn also shared an accumulation map, showing ETH near $4,362 in the “Steady” band, just above “Still Cheap.” This area has historically aligned with accumulation phases for long-term holders and larger investors. The upper red zones, labeled “HODL” and “Take Profit,” have coincided in past cycles with retail-driven rallies and profit-taking.
With record liquidity, strong user activity, and technical signals aligning, Ethereum is at a point where its next move depends on whether price breaks above $4,500 or falls back toward lower support.
