The large holder netflow indicator, which tracks the buying and selling activities of wallets holding more than 0.1% of the total ETH supply, reveals that net outflows were recorded on only three days in the past month. This means that on most days, these large holders were net buyers, adding to their positions rather than selling off.
In total, large holder wallets have added over 1.7 million ETH in the past month. This indicates strong accumulation behavior among large holders, signaling confidence in Ethereum's future.
