Ethereum Price Action<\/h2>\n

Ethereum surged to a new all-time high of $4,950 on August 24 before losing momentum. The token has since pulled back to around $4,550, down 4.5% over the past 24 hours, though still up 8% on the week. Since early August, ETH has climbed 26% and remains more than 220% above its yearly low.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the reversal came during a wave of liquidations<\/a> across the market. More than $720 million in positions were wiped out in the last day, with nearly $500 million tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum longs. The rejection near $4,950 triggered much of the flush.<\/p>\n

Liquidity Grab and Support Levels<\/h2>\n

Analyst Lennaert Snyder said Ethereum \u201ctook liquidity above $4,880 and flushed leveraged longs.\u201d He added that ETH is \u201ccurrently testing ~$4,500 support, but it doesn\u2019t look strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snyder pointed to $4,693 as the key range low for bulls to reclaim quickly. A recovery<\/a> above that level could open another move toward $4,880. If $4,500 fails, the chart suggests ETH could slide to $4,300, which marked the start of its last impulse higher.<\/p>\n

$ETH<\/a> took liquidity above $4,880 and flushed leveraged longs.<\/p>\n

Currently testing ~$4,500 support, but is doesn\u2019t look strong.<\/p>\n

Best case scenario for the bulls is to reclaim $4,693 rangelow asap.<\/p>\n

The $4,880 zone now acts as immediate resistance, while $4,500 remains under pressure.<\/p>\n

Whale Buying and Institutional Flows<\/h2>\n

Large players have been active in recent sessions. Wise Crypto noted<\/a> that whales added more than $1.6 billion worth of ETH this week, even as volatility increased. They described $4,590\u2013$4,760 as a demand area that aligns with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement at $4,780.<\/p>\n

Wise Crypto highlighted $4,950 (0.618 Fib) as the resistance to clear. A break above that line could set a path toward $5,500, with checkpoints at $5,190 and $5,500.<\/p>\n

At the same time, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost pointed <\/a>to continued whale accumulation on Binance.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince July, we have seen a significant increase in demand coming from Binance whales,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n

According to the analyst, their activity shows a preference for building positions after explicit trend confirmation, which could provide extra support if ETH attempts another push toward $5,000.<\/p>\n

Ethereum\u2019s rally in August has been strong, but historical trends indicate that September often brings corrections after a profitable August. Data from CoinGlass suggests the same could apply this year.<\/p>\n

For now, ETH sits between critical levels: $4,690 on the upside and $4,500\u2013$4,300 on the downside. A reclaim could reignite momentum toward $5,000, while failure may reinforce seasonal weakness.<\/p>\n
