Ethereum Tests $3,000 as ETF Outflows and Vanishing Leverage Deepen Slide

Shrinking exchange balances may temper near-term selling pressure.

Overview

  • ETH briefly fell to about $3,003 after failing to hold $3,250, extending a drop of roughly 35% from this year’s high.
  • Spot Ethereum ETFs have posted consecutive withdrawals in recent weeks, with cumulative inflows near $13 billion and total assets around $20 billion, according to SoSoValue.
  • Ether futures open interest has declined by more than 50% since October, signaling reduced speculative exposure.
  • Centralized exchange holdings have fallen to roughly 11.96 million ETH from a July peak near 16.36 million, CoinGlass data shows.
  • Technical readings point bearish with a prior double-top, a looming death cross, and key support near $3,000, while a small double-bottom around $3,060 offers only a narrow rebound window.
