Ethereum ETFs See $28M Inflow as ETH Price Drops — Could Flippening Momentum Start?
Ethereum (ETH) fell about 7.5% in 24 hours to roughly $2,725 amid weak equity markets, breaking a medium-term support near $2,750. Despite the pullback, Ethereum-focused ETFs registered stronger inflows than Bitcoin ETFs in recent days — approximately $117m on Monday and $28m on Wednesday versus a $19.6m outflow and a $6.8m inflow for BTC ETFs — signaling renewed investor interest. Technical indicators show the RSI sliding toward 30 and MACD below zero, implying potential further near-term downside to around $2,500 before a recovery. Some analysts expect ETH to rebound to $2,750–$3,000 by end of Q1 and target $4,000 in H2 and as high as $7,000 by year-end, should momentum resume. The story highlights stronger ETF flows into ETH, Ethereum’s fundamental position as the largest Layer-1 network, and a short-term technical pullback that may present buying opportunities if inflows persist. Secondary mentions include presale token SUBBD (raising ~$1.4m) as an altcoin diversification option.
Bullish
The net effect is bullish despite the short-term price drop. Strong ETF inflows into Ethereum relative to Bitcoin signal renewed institutional and retail demand that can underpin price recovery and potentially outperformance versus BTC when market sentiment improves. Historically, sustained ETF inflows have preceded multi-week to multi-month rallies as buy-side demand provides persistent bid support (examples: early ETF accumulation phases for BTC/ETH in previous cycles). Technicals indicate short-term weakness — RSI near 30 and MACD below zero — opening the possibility of a near-term dip to ~$2,500. Traders may view that as a buying zone if ETF flows and on-chain metrics (inflows, exchange withdrawals) remain supportive. In the short term expect elevated volatility: possible continued downside or consolidation while funds rotate; in the medium-to-long term, persistent ETF demand and Ethereum’s layer-1 fundamentals increase the probability of a bullish trend resumption toward targets cited by analysts (mid-single- to multi-thousand-dollar levels). Risks that could negate this bullish view include broad risk-off events, ETF outflows reversing, or negative regulatory developments affecting ETFs or on-chain activity.
