Ethereum Holds Near $2,250 as ETF Inflows Return and Derivatives Buying Builds

Institutional interest contrasts with fragile hourly levels around $2,300 to $2,360.

Overview

  • Ethereum, which fell from $2,465 to about $2,253 on Monday, is stabilizing near $2,250 below the 100‑hour moving average after a swift pullback tied by several outlets to U.S.–Iran tensions.
  • Spot Ether ETFs took in about $276 million last week, led by Fidelity’s FETH with $126 million, while BlackRock’s ETHA added $99.2 million and Grayscale’s ETHE saw $16.7 million in outflows.
  • Derivatives order flow has flipped positive with Net Taker Volume near +$102 million, a CryptoQuant measure showing buy market orders outpacing sell orders after months of seller control.
  • Short‑term charts show a bearish trend line near $2,300 with resistance also flagged at $2,335 and $2,360, while traders are watching supports at $2,250 and $2,220 for signs of a deeper slide toward $2,200.
  • Liquidity maps highlight heavy long liquidation zones near $2,200 and short targets around $2,450 to $2,480, as more than 32% of ETH is staked and thinner exchange supply can turn small shocks into sharper swings.
