Jiang Zhuo'er posted that ETH ETF capital inflows have reached another record high, with BTC inflows at $242 million and ETH inflows at $234 million. Given that ETH's total market capitalization represents approximately 18.8% of BTC's, ETH's inflows account for 96.8% of BTC's inflows. He believes the current magnitude of capital inflows demonstrates that ETH's "consolidation with steadily rising lows" is relatively robust. He stated that unless he strictly adheres to trading discipline and firmly avoids leverage, he would even be prepared to directly go long on ETH. His current position strategy is as follows: when not holding short positions, he maintains a full allocation in ETH spot to await further upside; entering any additional long positions would equate to adding leverage, thereby introducing liquidation price risk.
