When Bitcoin's fundamentals remain under pressure, Ethereum often finds it difficult to stand apart. The recent three trading days of spot ETF selling clearly illustrate this point—while BTC experienced significant outflows, ETH also faced considerable selling pressure, with the driving forces behind both largely the same, pointing to large institutional investors like BlackRock and Grayscale.

However, there is a small bright spot. Due to continuous capital inflows on Monday and Tuesday, the weekly data for the Ethereum spot ETF ultimately maintained a net inflow. According to statistics for Week 77, US ETF institutions achieved a total net inflow of 10,144 units. This indicates that despite short-term selling pressure, the long-term institutional allocation appetite still exists.

BTC-0,07%

ETH-0,46%

Large institutions sell off and follow the trend, ETH's recent performance is a bit tough... But on the other hand, funds are still entering on Monday and Tuesday, indicating that some people are still optimistic, and the willingness for long-term allocation is still there. BTC coughs, ETH sneezes—this pattern is really ingrained in the bones... Institutional money comes quickly and goes just as fast. As retail investors, we should stay calm; the net inflow data still looks good. The short-term selling pressure is just temporary; a net inflow of over 10,000 units is enough to support the market.

Large institutions sell off the entire market and it follows a shakeout—that's the current rhythm... But looking at weekly data, there is still net inflow, so it seems that some people are still optimistic in the long term.

Big institutions are harvesting again. When BTC moves, ETH follows suit. How tired is this routine?

When big institutions sell off, retail investors suffer. This trick is really annoying.

actually, let me break this down—what we're seeing here is a classic case of institutional herding behavior ceteris paribus, right? when BTC sneezes, ETH catches the cold, but the key variable nobody talks about is the net flow composition. 10,144 units accumulated means retail's stepping in while the whales dump? that's how you spot regime shifts, ngl

It's another big institution causing trouble. This wave of follow-up selling is really incredible.

This move by the institutions is really incredible. They sell when they want to sell and buy when they want to buy. We retail investors can only follow along and watch the show.

Big institutions are really clever with this move—buying while selling off, how can retail investors keep up?

Institutions' moves this time are truly baffling... They keep buying while selling at the same time, really playing with fire.

Institutions are really dumping aggressively, but looking at these data, there is still hope in the long term. The net inflow of 10,144 units indicates that money is still flowing in.
