Recently, a very interesting phenomenon has emerged in the market. The Ethereum-related product ETHE experienced a single-day net outflow of $33.8 million yesterday. Such a scale is not something retail investors can achieve; it clearly indicates large institutions are retreating. Meanwhile, Grayscale Trust actually saw a net inflow of $3.3 million. One is疯狂抛售 (crazy selling), while the other is quietly absorbing, so what story is this telling?
From a capital perspective, the $33.8 million outflow is basically profit-taking or short-term risk avoidance. In other words, smart money is cashing in on gains and holding back on the recent market trend. Meanwhile, Grayscale, as a long-term holding account that only increases its position, continues to buy steadily. This indicates that institutions' view of ETH's medium- to long-term value has not changed; they are just tactically choosing to sell in the short term and buy back at lower levels.
A careful comparison of these numbers makes it clear—short-term outflows far exceed long-term accumulations, and the bears' momentum is stronger. This is not a friendly signal. So who is absorbing this $33.8 million selling pressure? There may be some regulatory arbitrage or structural trading logic behind it.
On the technical side, the 4-hour K-line has already issued a warning of a continuation of the decline. The overhead resistance level requires massive funds to break through, and currently, there is no such driving force. More importantly, the key support in the middle—this is the bulls' last psychological defense. Once volume breaks below it, chain stop-losses will trigger risk releases. The deep support below is also under test. This is not alarmist talk, but a logical consequence after bearish forces gain strength.

Wait, 33.8 million outflow and 3.3 million inflow, the difference is too big... What kind of tricks are institutions playing? Based on my analysis, this is a standard market testing move.

Grayscale is still lurking, truly a tough player... This round of institutional interaction is quite interesting.

Grayscale is eating up, smart money is distributing... This rhythm, it feels like someone is playing psychological warfare.

honestly the fund flow disparity here is textbook smart money distribution pattern. grayscale's steady accumulation vs the institutional dump? that's not coincidence, that's orchestrated liquidity management.

33.8 million outflow vs. 3.3 million inflow, this move is quite interesting... big players are selling, is Grayscale quietly accumulating? Feels like they're setting a trap for retail investors.

Here we go again? Grayscale is taking over, institutions are manipulating, and in the end, it's still us retail investors getting slaughtered.
