Bearish
Di nyuz tok tru di wei Harvard don comot from Ethereum ETF. Dem comot complete from ETH ETF, wey happen as ETH dey weak and as spot Ethereum ETF don dey see nine days straight net outflows, e dey support the bearish idea for ETH for short term. E mean say at least one big allocator dey actively reduce im ETH exposure instead make e dey wait for any rebound.

For long term, ETH fit stabilize if outflows slow and price action better, but dis specific catalyst dey raise di chance say pressure on ETH ETF flows go continue till sentiment and flows turn.
