The post ETH Accumulation Surges as Staking Locks Supply| Live Bitcoin News appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Ethereum has experienced unprecedented inflows of accumulation, and staking of validators is constraining the supply. ETH has been trying to break critical support levels as the market dynamics change. Ether rose over $3,100 and then fell last night. The asset has now been placed in a very significant test of the support levels that will most likely determine the directional movement next. As per Ted Pillows on X, ETH can retest the 3,020-3,050 zone. The presence of this level may cause the next wave upwards. The price movement indicates that there is a strengthening after the recent breakout. $ETH broke above $3,100 yesterday and is now slightly coming down. I think a retest of $3,020-$3,050 zone could happen here. If Ethereum holds this level, the next leg up will start. pic.twitter.com/xnQ30vPpqr — Ted (@TedPillows) January 3, 2026 Source – X Accumulation Accelerates Amid Elevated Selling According to FXStreet data, Ethereum experienced record inflows into accumulated addresses last month.
