This sale follows the withdrawal of 24,029 ETH from Binance into multiple wallets over the past few weeks. Meanwhile, Tron\u2019s Justin Sun has deposited over $320 million worth of ETH into HTX in recent hours, part of a broader transfer totaling $1.1 billion since late 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts note Ethereum&#8217;s supply has been inflationary over the last 10 months, reversing initial deflationary trends post-Merge. The growing supply is closing in on pre-Merge levels, with ETH currently trading near $3,186. Key resistance zones are between $3,360 and $3,450, while support lies around $3,066.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/microstrategy-adds-2530-btc-to-its-holdings-reaching-450000-total-bitcoin\/\" title=\"MicroStrategy Adds 2,530 BTC to Its Holdings, Reaching 450,000 Total Bitcoin\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/Microstrategy-2-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">MicroStrategy Adds 2,530 BTC to Its Holdings, Reaching 450,000 Total Bitcoin<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite the current selling pressure, long-term optimism remains.
