ETH Cost Floor

Definition

The ETH cost floor represents a theoretical minimum price level for Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency, Ether, below which a significant portion of holders would incur losses on their acquisition cost. This metric is often derived from on-chain data, analyzing the average price at which ETH was last moved or acquired by various address cohorts. It functions as a psychological and analytical support level for market participants, suggesting where strong buying interest might emerge. Understanding this floor helps assess the overall market conviction and potential downside risk for Ether.
