Ethereum accumulation addresses (ETH) recorded their highest monthly inflow in December 2025 as the year comes to a close. Despite weakened market momentum after the holidays, these addresses doubled their buying pressure, adding 3.62 million ETH to their cumulative balance. This figure is higher than the record set in November, which was 2.94 million ETH.

Accumulation addresses are wallets with no record of selling activity, often dominated by new addresses and long-term holders.
Despite buying pressure from accumulation addresses, Ethereum reserves on trading platforms increased by approximately 480,000 ETH, the largest rise since June. An increase in trading reserves indicates increased selling pressure. Thomas Lee of BitMine stated on Monday that this distribution is likely driven by sales related to tax-loss harvesting at the end of the year, which is expected to decrease as the year concludes.
Ethereum network experienced liquidations totaling $121.3 million over the past 24 hours, driven by $111.9 million in short liquidations, according to Coinglass data.
The Ethereum price has surpassed the upper boundary of the descending triangle and is currently testing the 50-day exponential moving average after several days of sideways consolidation. This leading altcoin could continue its upward move toward $3470 if it breaks above the resistance zone between $3150 and $3250.

On the other hand, Ethereum's price may rebound from the support level at $2900 if it faces rejection near $3150.
The (RSI) indicator is above its neutral level, while the (Stoch) stochastic oscillator is in overbought territory, indicating dominant bullish momentum.
