ETH dey face layered sell-side pressure: World Liberty Financial konvert ETH to USDC show say dem dey actively reduce treasury, plus US spot Ethereum ETF outflows (about $255.11M net for May 11–15) dey signal say institutional players still dey risk-off. Even though ETH dey hold the $2,150–$2,185 range, that support don turn to the main battleground; if e break under $2,150 e fit invite momentum selling. For long term, regulatory overhang around WLFI add uncertainty we fit cap rallies and increase event-driven volatility. So any bounce likely go be tactical rather than change the trend unless ETF flows stabilize.
