Ethereum moved back above the $2,100 level, signaling a slight improvement in market sentiment after weeks of volatility and uncertain price action. Surpassing this key threshold comes as the broader crypto market begins to stabilize, allowing ETH to regain some of the momentum lost during the recent correction. Although the recovery remains cautious, recent on-chain data suggests that trading activity around Ethereum is starting to intensify.
According to a recent report from CryptoQuant, ETH Binance’s 30-day exchange liquidity ratio reveals a notable change in liquidity dynamics on the platform. The indicator, which measures the relationship between trading volume and available supply on exchanges, indicates that activity has accelerated significantly in recent weeks.
The report shows that Ethereum’s 30-day turnover on Binance jumped to around 29.6 million ETH. This is the highest level recorded since last September and represents a clear increase in coin movement and trading participation on the exchange.
Rising turnover levels generally reflect a market entering a more active phase, where liquidity and trading volumes increase as participants reposition themselves. Against this backdrop, Ethereum’s recent increase in activity may indicate renewed commitment from traders as the asset attempts to consolidate above the $2,100 level.
Increase in liquidity ratio signals increased market activity
The CryptoQuant report further explains that ETH Binance’s 30-day exchange liquidity ratio provides insight into Ethereum’s exchange activity relative to the supply available on the platform. This metric compares the actual coin trading volume over a 30-day period with the total ETH reserves held on the exchange.
Currently, the supply of Ethereum on Binance stands at around 3.5 million ETH. During the same 30-day period, approximately 29.6 million ETH was traded on the platform. This means that the volume traded during the month far exceeds the available supply, implying that the same units of ETH are circulating in the market multiple times. As a result, the liquidity ratio increased to around 8.47, a relatively high level that indicates intensive use of foreign exchange holding supply.
From a structural perspective, high turnover levels typically appear during periods of increased volatility or market repositioning. When the same coins change hands repeatedly over a short period of time, it reflects an environment in which traders actively adjust their positions in response to price movements.
Historically, peaks in turnover have coincided with phases of stronger market activity and faster capital turnover. However, high trading volume should not automatically be interpreted as selling pressure. In many cases, this reflects speculative trading or the use of ETH as collateral in derivatives markets.

Ethereum tries to stabilize after a strong correction
The chart shows that Ethereum is trading near $2,150 following a sharp correction that significantly altered its broader trend structure. After reaching a cycle high above the $4,500 region in 2025, ETH entered a prolonged decline marked by lower highs and persistent selling pressure. This downtrend accelerated in early 2026, when the asset experienced a strong breakout that pushed the price briefly below the $2,000 level before a modest recovery emerged.
From a technical perspective, Ethereum remains positioned below its major moving averages, including the 50-, 100-, and 200-day lines. These indicators are currently falling and acting as dynamic resistance levels between approximately $2,800 and $3,300. As long as ETH trades below this group of moving averages, the broader trend structure continues to favor sellers.
However, the recent rebound from the $1,900 region suggests that buyers are trying to defend a potential support zone. The recovery towards the $2,100 to $2,200 zone indicates the start of a short-term stabilization phase after the capitulation movement that occurred earlier in the year.
Volume spikes during selloffs reflect strong liquidation pressure, but recent price consolidation shows that volatility is gradually reducing. For Ethereum to move into a more constructive structure, the market will likely need to reclaim the $2,400-$2,600 region and start forming higher highs on the daily time frame.
