What point are you trying to make? Sell walls are not literal "walls" erected for all time. And they don't necessarily come down by thousands of mini transactions eating through them.
Often, they are a temporary barriers to hold back trading on a given exchange while whales buy up cheaper coins. When the whales accomplish whatever they have set out to do in the first place, the walls often disappear altogether. I.E., they cancel the sell orders.

demand and supply are important. you are only focused on supply. if 470 billion is already tied up in coins, who is going to buy these more expensive coins? either people shifting from shit coins to ETH or new money
the money has to come from somewhere to boost the price of ETH
i'm just saying we will not reach ATH again without new money coming in because i doubt most people are going ot drop their shit coins to buy ETH, esp given that many shit coins have much higher return in the short term than ETH

also just look at the order books - most orders are in decimal amounts far less than 1 ETH, makes no sense unless it were bots trying to manipulate the prices. i doubt people are manually entering .01 orders spaced out in price by the tenth decimal
if you look at the volume on most days, it's very low (unless there's a news release), bots are generally just trading on minor price differentials...different traders' robots are profit taking continuously
