- Ethereum has finally gotten a breather in the past 48 hours.
- The price remained stable above the $3,000 price range.
Ethereum [ETH] maintained a stable trading range in the $3,500 zone until it experienced significant declines that significantly lowered its price.
Despite this downturn, Ethereum’s flow across exchanges has been mixed, reflecting varying sentiments among traders.
Ethereum is recovering from declines

The next day it saw a slight decline but remained within the $3,400 range.

Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also showed a slight increase in parallel with the price.
Despite this improvement, the RSI at the time of writing was below the neutral 50s, specifically around 40, indicating that while market sentiment is recovering, it is still bearish.
Ethereum’s stable feelings
The analysis of Ethereum exchange net flow CryptoQuant revealed a fluctuating pattern between inflows and outflows, indicating mixed sentiment among traders.
Over the past two days, net flows have been positive, meaning more Ethereum has been deposited on exchanges than has been withdrawn. This suggests that traders are likely preparing to sell or trade, anticipating taking profits or limiting losses.

Conversely, the net flow in the days leading up to this was negative, indicating that withdrawals of Ethereum from exchanges were more common than deposits.
This trend is typically associated with traders shifting their holdings to private portfolios for long-term investment or to reduce exposure to currency-related risks.
The fact that there has been no significant deviation towards heavy inflows or outflows suggests that trader sentiment has remained relatively unchanged and that normal market dynamics continue.
Volume confirms buyer dominance
The analysis of Ethereum trading volume over the past 48 hours indicates a noticeable increase, indicating a revival in market activity.
According to Santiment data, there was a brief dip in trading volume on July 7 to around $10 billion.

However, this decline was short-lived and by July 8, trading volume had increased to over $21 billion. At the time of writing, volume remained high at over $19 billion.
This increase in trading volume, especially with the current price trend, implies that buying activity has been more dominant than selling.
