Something feels off with $ETH right now. Even whale moves aren’t waking the market up. Volume is cut in half and the tape is quiet. We saw one whale dump 3,500 $ETH after holding for 2 years. Arthur Hayes bought 2.5M worth of $ETH and there’s another 2.5M buy pending. There have been more big whale transfers too. On the surface the spot flows look fine. $ETH spot ETFs have seen net inflows for 4 weeks straight, with 27.42M coming in last week alone. But sentiment is slipping. The percentage of bullish accounts dropped compared to yesterday. Liquidations were pretty normal. 32.78M in $ETH got wiped in 24 hours. 17.37M longs and 15.41M shorts. Biggest single liquidation was 1.91M. Globally 2,476 traders got liquidated. That’s actually low versus the 7-day average. Price swung about 2.69% today. Here’s my read. This is sluggish, accumulation phase behavior. Perps are showing it clearly. We’ve had two days of heavy selling in perpetual contracts and open interest has declined two days in a row. Add in the recent vulnerability headlines and it’s no surprise buyers are sitting on their hands. Until that vulnerability issue is fully resolved and confidence comes back, expect $ETH to stay slow and rangebound. The smart money is accumulating, but the market isn’t ready to run yet. Stay sharp and watch the flow, not the noise. #KoreaChipSelloff #USJapanYenIntervention #30YrYieldTopOrStart $SOL $BICO $GRVT
