On the same day, Bitcoin Spot ETFs faced a larger $523 million outflow, extending a three-day streak of redemptions. These moves indicate broader market stress amid price retracement and investor risk-off sentiment.

Ethereum On-Chain Metrics Show Institutional Demand

Despite outflows, Ethereum’s on-chain stablecoin supply rose by $714 million in the last 24 hours, per Artemis data. 

This surge suggests increased institutional allocation and deeper capital inflows into Ethereum’s ecosystem.

Volume-wise, Ethereum processed $51.73 billion in Layer 1 transactions, trailing just behind Bitcoin’s volume by $21 billion. 

The narrowing gap points to Ethereum gaining relevance as a transactional and investment network.

Traders Position Cautiously, Yet Upside Momentum Builds

Data from TedPillows shows ETH’s long/short ratio slightly favors shorts, with Bitget traders showing 47.26% long and 52.74% short.

Gate and WhiteBIT hold the highest short ratios, signaling hedging or bearish speculation.

However, technical analysis from MerlijnTrader indicates Ethereum is currently in Leg 2 of a three-leg market cycle. 

The projection outlines one remaining potential rally phase before entering a longer-term bearish stage.

Ethereum’s current price stands at $4,121.89, reflecting a 3.69% daily drop and a 12.06% weekly decline. 

Despite near-term weakness, market structure and accumulation patterns still align with bullish continuation scenarios.
