On February 17, 2025, Ethereum (ETH) demonstrated a mild rebound, with its market value reaching $2,745, as reported by Santiment at 10:00 AM EST (Santiment, 2025). This increase positioned ETH ahead of many altcoins at the start of the week. A significant long-term trend noted by Santiment is the movement of ETH from exchanges to cold wallets, with only 6.38% of the total ETH supply remaining on exchanges as of February 17, 2025 (Santiment, 2025). This shift indicates a strong accumulation trend among investors, suggesting a bullish sentiment for the asset's future value. The trading volume for ETH on this day was approximately $14.5 billion, a 15% increase from the previous day, according to data from CoinMarketCap at 12:00 PM EST (CoinMarketCap, 2025). This surge in volume supports the notion of increased market activity and potential bullish momentum.

The trading implications of this rebound are noteworthy.

This performance suggests a stronger demand for ETH relative to other cryptocurrencies. Additionally, the on-chain data from Glassnode at 9:00 AM EST on February 17, 2025, revealed that the number of active Ethereum addresses increased by 12% compared to the previous week, signaling heightened network activity (Glassnode, 2025).

For instance, the use of AI in trading algorithms and market analysis tools has been steadily increasing, as noted by a report from AI in Blockchain dated February 15, 2025 (AI in Blockchain, 2025).
