Ethereum Stays Under Pressure as $560 Million ETF Outflows Weigh on Market

Ethereum prices remained under pressure as a large sell-off in crypto exchange-traded funds weighed on the broader market, keeping both Ethereum and Bitcoin stuck in a narrow range below recent highs.

Data showed that crypto ETFs recorded about $560 million in outflows in a single day, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum products seeing heavy selling from large asset managers.

Spot Ether ETFs recorded withdrawals of roughly $159.17 million, while ETFs sold about $398.95 million worth of holdings. Together, the outflows marked one of the largest single-day reductions in ETF exposure in recent weeks.

The selling came as prices struggled to move above resistance levels, with Ethereum failing to hold gains above the $3,300 area and Bitcoin trading below the $90,000–$95,000 range.

Funds managed by BlackRock recorded the largest outflows during the session. Its iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) saw about $107.65 million leave the fund. Grayscale Ethereum Trust(ETHE) followed with $31.72 million in outflows.

Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) also posted outflows of about $12.90 million, while Fidelity’s FETH saw $4.63 million in withdrawals.

Ethereum has moved sideways on the daily chart after being rejected at higher levels earlier this week. Prices have not broken decisively above resistance, and recent declines have stayed within a broader range.

The price was rejected around the $3,300 area earlier this week and has since moved lower, showing that buyers are struggling to push the market higher. Any move higher continues to face pressure in the $3,150 to $3,250 zone. Ethereum has been rejected from this area multiple times, making it a strong ceiling for now.

On the downside, Ethereum is holding above recent lows, but overall pressure remains tilted lower. If the price weakens further, analysts see room for Ethereum to drift toward the $2,600 to $2,250 range, where buying interest could return.
