The Ethereum price recovery has been quite impressive in recent weeks, and an analyst has suggested that this might only be the beginning of a good run for the altcoin.

Is The Ethereum Market Preparing For A Rally?

A pseudonymous analyst has shared via a CryptoQuant Quicktake post an interesting on-chain insight into the price action of Ethereum. The relevant indicator here is the taker buy/sell ratio, which measures the taker buy and taker sell volumes for a particular cryptocurrency.

When the value of this ratio is higher than 1, it implies that the taker buy volume is greater than the taker sell volume. This is often taken as a bullish signal, which indicates that investors are willing to pay a higher price for a particular asset.

On the flip side, a taker buy/sell ratio that is less than 1 suggests the buy volume for a cryptocurrency is greater than the sell volume. This typically signals a bearish sentiment amongst investors, as there are more sellers ready to sell their assets at a lower price.

As shown in the highlighted chart, the 30-day simple moving average (SMA) of the Ethereum taker buy/sell ratio has consistently remained below the 1 threshold over the past few months. This indicates that ETH sellers have been overwhelming buyers, resulting in an increased token supply in the open market.

However, the 30-day SMA of this metric has been on a resurgence since the price of Ethereum found its support just above the $2,100 level. The Ethereum taker buy/sell ratio recently reached a new high since mid-June, indicating that the bearish pressure might be waning.

The CryptoQuant analyst noted that if the taker buy/sell ratio continues on its upward trajectory, it could mean that the Ethereum bulls are taking over the market. Ultimately, this level of aggressive buying activity could set the stage for a price rally for the altcoin.

ETH Price Overview

As of this writing, the Ether token is valued at $2,677, reflecting a 0.8% decline in the past 24 hours. Despite experiencing a slight correction in the past day, the altcoins price is still up by more than 3% on the weekly timeframe.

Thanks to the price rally over the past week, more Ethereum investors seem to be returning to profit. According to data from IntoTheBlock, the percentage of ETH addresses in the money went from 59% to 69%, with more than 80% of the ETH supply now in profit.
