ETH Price Update: Market Divided as Bulls Seek Confirmation
Ethereum [ETH] has edged closer to the $4,000 mark, gaining 2.2% over the past 24 hours to trade around $3,940. While the move signals renewed strength, market sentiment remains divided, with institutional and smart traders taking opposing positions on the asset’s next move.
Institutional Investors Pull Back
Institutional activity in Ethereum has shown clear signs of caution this week. According to on-chain data, U.S. spot ETH ETFs saw a significant $145 million outflow on Monday, reflecting renewed bearish pressure.
That trend briefly reversed on Tuesday, when $141 million flowed back into the market, suggesting a momentary shift toward neutrality. However, the balance quickly faded as outflows surged again midweek.
On October 23, institutional investors pulled a massive $127.51 million, a 6.7x increase compared to the previous day. Such heavy withdrawals often indicate reduced confidence and a bearish market tone among large investors.
Smart Money Counters the Trend
While institutions appear cautious, smart traders are positioning for a potential breakout.
According to Hyperliquid Whale Tracker, 67% of open ETH contracts are now long positions, showing strong conviction for an upside move.
Reports also highlight one high-performing trader—“with a 100% win rate”—who expanded their long exposure on ETH, betting on continued price strength. Overall, long positions reached $132.24 million in the past day, signaling growing optimism among active market participants.
Technical Outlook: Bulls Await Confirmation
Ethereum’s chart shows a descending resistance line that has historically triggered multiple pullbacks. ETH is now testing this level again.
Meanwhile, the MACD indicator is trending upward, with the blue MACD line nearing a crossover above the orange signal line.
If a breakout coincides with this crossover, it could confirm bullish momentum; otherwise, ETH risks another short-term retracement.
