Santiment's latest on-chain data shows that the Ethereum market has seen a clear position divergence in the past three weeks: whales and medium-sized holders have increased their holdings by a total of 934,240 ETH, while retail investors have sold a net of 1,041 ETH during the same period. This structural difference is reshaping ETH's supply and demand landscape and driving a gradual price recovery. The data shows that the number of addresses holding 100 to 100,000 ETH has continued to increase since early December, and the cumulative trend of this group coincides with the decline in ETH volatility, the slowdown in decline, and the rebound. The Ethereum price subsequently rose as a large number of buying orders entered the market, indicating that the actions of large holders are clearly supporting the price.

Golden Finance reported that Peter Mintzberg, CEO of digital asset management company Grayscale, posted on the X platform that since Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) support staking rewards, about $11.8 million worth of ETH staking rewards have been generated for investors in less than 60 days, and they are also the two best-performing ETF products in the US ETF market so far.

Golden Finance reported that Polygon has officially activated its latest network upgrade, the Madhugiri hard fork, which aims to accelerate on-chain processing efficiency through performance optimization. This upgrade reduces block time delays from 2 seconds to 1 second, resulting in faster transaction confirmations and an expected increase of approximately 33% in overall throughput. Madhugiri integrates several optimizations previously developed for the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade, including enhancements to gas measurement methods and execution processes, enabling the network to better handle higher computational loads. At the same time, the hard fork also introduces a new transaction type to further optimize the cross-chain interaction structure between Polygon and Ethereum.

Bitcoin regained its footing at $92,000 after more than $2 billion in liquidations, and the market focus quickly retracted from altcoins to mainstream assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The increase in capital concentration indicates that investors prefer high-certainty head crypto assets under the current macro uncertainty. In terms of market capitalization performance, Bitcoin's market share is stable at about 59.11%, while Ethereum's remains at around 12.80%, showing a very narrow range of fluctuations. The latest report from Wintermute shows that both retail and institutional funds have rarely flowed into BTC and ETH at the same time, reflecting increased risk aversion in the market, with investors preferring to take selective risk exposure rather than chasing the high volatility of altcoins.

On-chain analyst Ai Yi reports that a certain whale deposited 40 million USDC into Hyperliquid again after the 1011 flash crash, planning to buy 19,108.68 ETH at $3,280, and has already realized an unrealized profit of $17.72 million. The total position value has reached $269 million.

According to monitoring by HyperInsight, the whale address has been frequently accumulating ETH and BTC, with spot and long positions totaling $6.24 million.

Since early November, Ethereum (ETH) has rebounded more than 20% after hitting a local low of around $2,620, and as of December 9, it has returned above $3,000. However, both technical patterns and on-chain data are signaling further downside, suggesting that ETH prices may weaken again in the coming months. From a technical perspective, ETH is currently forming a classic inverse cup-and-handle pattern, which typically signals a deeper correction and points to a mid-term target of around $1,500. This pattern began after ETH peaked near $4,100 in August and subsequently declined, breaking below both the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages, gradually forming a rounded top. Entering the "handle" phase, ETH has been moving within an ascending channel but has repeatedly faced resistance around the $3,150 region, struggling to break through in the short term, with the 50-day moving average also acting as resistance in this range. If ETH breaks below the current lower boundary of the channel around $2,900, it will confirm the continuation of the downtrend, technically validating the $1,500 target of the inverse cup-and-handle pattern. This range also overlaps with a key support area for Ethereum since the beginning of 2024, further amplifying the risk. Unless the price regains the $3,300 to $3,450 range, ETH’s overall trend remains tilted to the downside.

BitMine Immersion Technologies continues to make large purchases of Ethereum, even as market sentiment remains tense and ETF funds keep flowing out. The company, chaired by Tom Lee, has now become the world’s largest corporate holder of Ethereum and has significantly increased its ETH holdings over the past week. According to the latest data, BitMine purchased 138,452 ETH in one week, a 156% increase from the previous period, bringing its total holdings to 3.86 million ETH. This accounts for more than 3.2% of Ethereum’s circulating supply and brings the company two-thirds of the way toward its goal of controlling 5% of ETH’s supply. Since October, ETH prices have dropped nearly 25% in total, but BitMine has persisted in buying, demonstrating a clear long-term bullish stance.

Today's December FOMC meeting has become the focus of global markets, with investors closely tracking the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and economic forecasts to assess the direction of monetary policy in 2026 and evaluate its potential impact on crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Market predictions put the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut at as high as 80% to 92%. If realized, the federal funds rate range will drop to 3.50% to 3.75%, marking the third rate cut this year. The likelihood of a pause or unexpected rate hike is extremely low, but any deviation from expectations in the decision could still trigger significant market volatility.

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to a post by Ethereum community member Joseph Young on X, data from Artemis shows that over the past three months, Ethereum ranked first among public blockchains in terms of stablecoin net inflows, with approximately $12.5 billion worth of stablecoins flowing into the Ethereum network.

Ethereum (ETH) has regained upward momentum after several weeks of consolidation, with its price breaking out of the descending wedge formed from July to late November. Buyers stabilized the price in a key support area, providing a foundation for the technical structure, while significant institutional inflows have boosted market confidence, laying the groundwork for ETH's push toward $4,000. Currently, ETH is trading at around $3,201, with key resistance levels at $3,500 and $3,750. If the price breaks through $3,500 and holds, buyers may continue the rebound; a breakout above $3,750 could see ETH aim for $4,000. Technical indicators show bullish signals: the Parabolic SAR is below the candlesticks, the MACD line is above the signal line with a green histogram, indicating sustained buying pressure, and the price continues to set higher lows, supporting a medium- to long-term upward trend.
