The short-term rally immediately drew market attention, increasing capital activity; volatility remained moderately elevated, characterized by strengthening spot buying power. The main driving force behind this unusual move is that buy orders in the spot markets of major trading platforms continued to dominate. Within 15 minutes, the buy volume accounted for 58%–59%, and the total buy volume was about 2.2K–2.6K ETH

2026-04-16 13:45 to 14:00 (UTC), ETH spot prices fell by 1.23% in just 15 minutes. The candlestick price range covered 2291.2 to 2336.98 USDT, with a swing of 1.96%. Market volatility intensified, sell pressure on the board became concentrated, and the trading community’s focus clearly shifted toward changes in capital outflows. The main driver behind this abnormal move is large-scale, concentrated selling from retail. In the spot market, net outflows in the first 5 minutes reached as high as -$95.57M. Although some lead/major funds attempted to accumulate at lower prices (net inflows of +$18.95M in large orders over 5 minutes), the overall scale was limited and unable to effectively hedge the overall short-term selling pressure. Meanwhile, the ETH futures market did not show extreme liquidations or large-scale position closures, indicating that the core of the abnormal move came from a spot supply-and-demand imbalance rather than leveraged liquidation cascades. In addition, ETH spot ETF funds have continued to experience net outflows in early April. On April 1, the single-day net outflow was $7.1M. The overall trend in Q1 was bearish, directly reflecting weakening institutional capital allocation intent and further undermining market confidence. Some funds have shifted to on-chain staking and emerging DeFi protocols. It is also worth noting that large holders with holdings in the 100,000-ETH range have continued to reduce their positions since the end of March. Whale capital outflows have persisted, and retail has followed the above signals, leading to a multi-factor selloff resonance effect in the short term. Although both the number of active addresses on the ETH chain and daily trading volume have hit historical highs, network usage and liquidity are overall strong, but capital flow has not formed any substantive spot buy orders, making it difficult to drive a price reversal. At present, short-term market risk remains significant. Investors should pay attention to the strength of subsequent retail selling, the direction of ETF fund flows, and changes in large-holder positions. If large holders and major funds do not form a strong follow-through/acceptance, the spot market may continue to be affected by the release of structural supply. It is recommended that investors monitor key support zones in real time, track large on-chain fund movements, and watch for macro news developments, in order to reasonably mitigate the risk of short-term price fluctuations and promptly obtain more market information.

2026-04-16 13:30 to 13:45 (UTC), the BTC price fluctuated within the range of 74481.3 to 75000.0 USDT, with a return of -0.50% over 15 minutes and a swing of 0.69%. During this round of abnormal movement, market attention increased, shown by intensified short-term volatility, but it did not trigger widespread panic. The main driver of this abnormal movement is localized forced liquidation under the high-leverage positioning environment in the derivatives market. Existing data shows that BTC perpetual futures open interest has been running at consistently high levels; leverage has accumulated in the market. Within the abnormal-movement window, long leverage is passively deleveraged, which triggers a liquidation cascade and, in turn, causes the spot price to passively dip. ETF fund flows remain neutral, contrasting with net outflows of large on-chain funds, further confirming that this price decline is mainly driven by endogenous risk release within the derivatives market. In addition, daily-level data shows that large addresses (\u003e$10M) continue to record net outflows, with a total amount of -12,987.03 BTC. This should have provided support for the price, but during the abnormal movement period, no large-scale concentrated sell-off or a surge in on-chain activity has been observed. On the ETF side, mainstream ETF fund flows show no significant abnormal movement, indicating that institutions have not engaged in trend-based selling. Spot and derivatives trading volumes remain high. The position structures of some top platforms are highly concentrated, and with multiple factors resonating simultaneously, the effect of localized forced liquidation is amplified, which then transmits to the spot market. The market is still in a high-leverage operating phase. Investors should be alert to the risk of a new round of forced liquidation pressure brought on by amplified future volatility. Focus on indicators such as the exchanges’ BTC net inflow/outflow, minute-level large transfers, derivatives market positions, funding rates, and liquidation volume. If there is a sudden change in fund flows on the derivatives or ETF side, there may be systemic downside risk. In the short term, the risk of sharply fluctuating market conditions is prominent, and investors should closely monitor subsequent market data and on-chain developments.
