The post Ethereum price faces a major supply wall at $3.5k appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

On-chain data suggests that Ethereum faces substantial resistance at the $3,500 price level as the price retreats from the threshold. IntoTheBlock shared details on Monday that show the above price point continues to prove tough for Ethereum (ETH) bulls since July 16. At the time of writing, ETH is hovering around $3,448 and has slipped 1.8% in the past 24 hours, retreating from intraday highs above $3,560. But why is the $3,500 to $3,600 price level likely to be a major supply wall for Ethereum? Per IntoTheBlock, the main factor aiding bears around this zone is the 3.13 million Ethereum addresses that purchased the coins. In total, these addresses snapped more than 1.56 million ETH at prices at the average price purchase price of $3,547. ETH addresses in loss could sell While the overall sentiment is bullish for crypto, the potential that addresses acquired coins at or above the $3,500 level may fancy break-even or profitable trades. “These addresses are holding at a loss, adding to the selling pressure and making it difficult for ETH to break through this key level,” analysts at the on-chain data and market intelligence platform said. Also notable is that 84% of ETH holders are currently profitable, with about 5% at the money and only 11% out of the money. However, positive sentiment is still tinged with a bearish signal from the derivatives market, where the futures momentum gauge reads bearish with a value of -0.5.
