Ethereum is showing massive strength today, January 14, 2026, outperforming many other assets with a 7% gain following cooling U.S. inflation data. The "king of DeFi" has officially breached the $3,300 level, and the on-chain data looks incredibly bullish.

Price Action: ETH is currently trading at $3,324.96, sitting comfortably above its MA(7) ($3,217) and MA(25) ($3,163).
Whale Activity: A single monitored whale wallet recently purchased an additional 12,000 $ETH ($40 million), signaling deep institutional conviction at these levels. Furthermore, companies like Bitmine now hold over 3.45% of the entire ETH supply.

Overbought RSI: Expect some "sideways" movement; buying at the absolute peak of an 83 RSI often leads to short-term drawdown.
Regulatory Headlines: Momentum is currently tied to the CLARITY Act progress in the U.S. Senate; any delays could dampen the rally.
ETF Flows: While institutional accumulation is high, spot ETH ETFs have seen mixed activity recently, which could limit immediate upside
