Odaily released the latest analysis chart indicating that Ethereum's recent price movements are increasingly dominated by ETF fund flows. Over the past year, the 30-day moving average of daily net inflows for ETH ETFs has been highly synchronized with ETH's price performance, showing a marked increase in Ethereum's sensitivity to institutional fund flows.BIT points out that one of Ethereum's current core narratives is its net staking yield of approximately 2.5%. However, against the backdrop of accelerating inflation again and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rising above 4.6%, Ethereum's staking yield advantage is weakening compared to risk-free assets like U.S. Treasuries.Furthermore, ETF outflows from Ethereum have resumed since May. BIT believes that if this trend continues, Ethereum is likely to maintain a consolidation and range-bound trajectory.
According to chart analysis released by independent analyst Markus Thielen on May 18, the 30-day moving average of daily net inflows into ETH ETFs over the past year has been highly synchronized with Ethereum’s price movement, making institutional fund flows a core driver of ETH’s price. However, as U.S. 10-year Treasury yields rise above 4.6% and inflation accelerates again, Ethereum’s ~2.5% net staking yield is losing appeal relative to risk-free assets. Since May, ETH ETFs have seen renewed net outflows; if this trend persists, Ethereum’s price is highly likely to remain in a range-bound consolidation pattern.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai_9684xtpa), the swing-trading whale address 0x54d…e6029 purchased 5,001 ETH (approximately $10.6 million) via Cowswap within the past two hours, at an average price of $2,119.29.

on-chain analyst Yujin posted on Platform X, stating that current market trading enthusiasm is now much lower than it was at the bottom of the last bear market (December 2022). This is despite the fact that prices of several major cryptocurrencies are still far higher than they were at that time.BTC: At the last cycle bottom, the average daily trading volume for BTC/USDT on Binance was around $20 billion. Now it is only about $5 billion. The current price is 4.5 times higher than the previous bottom. The correction magnitude last cycle was -75%, while from the peak to now in this cycle, it is -38%.ETH: At the last cycle bottom, the average daily trading volume for ETH/USDT was around $4 billion. Now it is only about $2 billion. The current price is 1.7 times higher than the previous bottom. The correction magnitude last cycle was -75%, while from the peak to now in this cycle, it is -54%.BNB: At the last cycle bottom, the average daily trading volume for BNB/USDT was around $50 million. Now it is roughly at the same level. The current price is 2.7 times higher than the previous bottom. The correction magnitude last cycle was -65%, while from the peak to now in this cycle, it is -50%.
: On-chain analyst Tom Wan stated on platform X that the current ETH utilization rate has dropped below 90%, and the lending APY has fallen to 1.9%. Since the rsETH LayerZero cross-chain bridge was attacked, the deposits of wstETH and weETH have decreased by approximately $1.2 billion and $1.76 billion, respectively. As the strategy of leveraged looping wstETH/weETH against ETH becomes profitable again, market attention is turning to whether demand for ETH leveraged loops will return, or if capital will continue to wait on the sidelines or flow into protocols like Spark and Morpho.
According to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain (@lookonchain), “Brother Maji” opened a new long position of 1,825 ETH—valued at approximately $3.87 million—after being liquidated; the liquidation price is $2,086.69.

This address has frequent interactions with block builder Titan builder and currently holds $125 million in assets on-chain, 95% of which are ETH and WBTC, suggesting potential continued selling pressure.
crypto research firm 10x Research stated that since the release of US CPI data on May 13th, Bitcoin ETFs have seen cumulative net outflows exceeding $1 billion, reigniting "inflation trade" sentiment in the market. Market sentiment indicators have dropped from 87% to 45%. Meanwhile, long-term US Treasury yields continue to climb, with the 30-year yield rising to 5.12%. As inflation returns to the forefront of market focus, the crypto market is facing significant headwinds.Furthermore, 10x Research noted that its models have triggered bearish signals for Ethereum, and Bitcoin is currently testing the key support level of its 30-day moving average. A confirmed breakdown below this level could signal further momentum deterioration. The firm is closely watching the short-term bull/bear line at $79,125 and the major support level at $76,922, suggesting that the bottom for this cycle may have already formed.

on-chain analyst Specter stated that the hijacking incidents of investor Keith Gill, Matt Furie, and WinRAR accounts on the X platform are all linked to the same hacker organization. This organization has accumulated over $14 million in profits by hijacking accounts to promote tokens and conducting cross-chain money laundering, with funds flowing through five chains: Solana, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Tron, and Hyperliquid.Specter claims the organization may also be connected to a $2.45 million wstETH phishing attack in 2024. The investigation found that hackers used compromised accounts to issue Pepe imitation tokens, incorporating a built-in 2% automatic fee mechanism to generate profits; related fund flows are associated with the bnbshare.fun platform and multiple Solana, Tron, and Ethereum addresses. Analysis also showed that several tokens (including USOR, VDOR, DROID, WCOR, UGOR) were used to inflate market caps before being dumped to zero.
