Ethereum faced renewed downside volatility after failing to hold the $1.9K support level.<\/p>\n

The altcoin subsequently fell to $1,848, a level last seen two weeks ago. At press time, ETH traded near $1,865, down 1.9% daily.<\/p>\n

Although Ethereum\u2019s upside momentum remained weak, institutional activity suggested that some large investors were still optimistic.<\/p>\n

Why did Fidelity move $499M in ETH?<\/h2>\n

According to Onchain Lens, Fidelity-linked wallets<\/a> moved 260,000 ETH, worth $499.55 million, into three wallets. These receiving wallets were funded six months ago.<\/p>\n

However, the transfers did not indicate an intention to sell. Instead, the movement suggested internal custody rebalancing.<\/p>\n

Such transfers often attract market attention but generally have a neutral effect on prices.<\/p>\n

Is Bitmine still buying Ethereum?<\/h2>\n

While Ethereum remained in a prolonged downtrend, several treasury companies halted accumulation or reduced their holdings.<\/p>\n

For example, SharpLink Gaming, the second-largest corporate holder, had not purchased ETH since October 2025.<\/p>\n

The company reduced its exposure as unrealized losses exceeded $1.4 billion. By contrast, Bitmine continued accumulating.<\/p>\n

According to Onchain Lens, a Bitmine-linked wallet<\/a> purchased 10,460 ETH, worth $19.48 million, through Falcon. The entity subsequently held 5.5 million ETH, valued at approximately $10.3 billion.<\/p>\n

That demand coincided with persistent exchange outflows. Ethereum\u2019s [ETH]<\/a> Exchange Netflow remained negative for six consecutive days. At press time, Exchange Netflow stood near -3,200 ETH, indicating continued withdrawals from trading platforms.<\/p>\n

The last similar outflow period occurred in early July. ETH then climbed from $1.7K to $1.9K. If demand persists, Ethereum could recover from its latest decline.<\/p>\n

Can ETH recover in August?<\/h2>\n

Despite declining exchange supply, Ethereum\u2019s short-term momentum remained weak.<\/p>\n

ETH traded below its 20-day Moving Average, while the MACD-SMA indicator reflected continued seller control. The Bulls v Bears indicator also formed a bearish crossover, reinforcing the possibility of further short-term pressure.<\/p>\n

If this weakness persists, ETH could fall below $1.8K, placing the next support level near $1,750.<\/p>\n

However, ETH remained above its 200-day Moving Average. This suggested that the broader market structure was still bullish.<\/p>\n

Sustained demand from Bitmine could help ETH defend its 50-day Moving Average and reclaim its 20-day Moving Average. Under that scenario, Ethereum could retest $1,950 before targeting a move above $2,000.<\/p>\n

\n

Final Summary<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Fidelity-linked wallets transferred $499.55 million in ETH, likely reflecting internal custody rebalancing.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Bitmine accumulated another $19.48 million despite Ethereum\u2019s prolonged price decline.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
