Ethereum Ranges Tight on ETF Inflows and Exchange Reserves
Ethereum’s reserves on Binance surged to 4.9 million ETH, the highest level since May 2023, hinting at potential selling pressure. Yet U.S. spot demand remains robust, with Ethereum ETFs drawing $148 million on July 3 and net assets topping $10.8 billion. On the four-hour chart, ETH trades in a narrowing triangle between $2,478 support and $2,558 resistance, with neutral RSI and bullish-leaning EMAs. Analysts see a break above $2,560 targeting $2,639–$2,723, while a drop below $2,478 risks $2,388–$2,320. Bitwise projects total ETF inflows may reach $10 billion by year-end, underpinned by tokenized asset use cases and a favorable SEC stance on staking. Traders await a clear catalyst for the next directional move.
Neutral
While Binance’s record Ethereum reserves and substantial ETF inflows signal strong institutional interest and potential volatility, price action remains confined to a tightening range with neutral momentum indicators. Short-term traders can target breakouts above $2,560 or breakdowns below $2,478, but the lack of a clear catalyst suggests continued consolidation before a decisive move.
