Ethereum warning signs mount as ETF flows slow and long bias grows

Ethereum is showing more fragile price action than other major assets as inflation pressure and interest-rate uncertainty rise, market maker Wintermute said. It pointed to higher inflation expectations, uncertainty over 2026 second-quarter prices and the Strait of Hormuz, and a greater chance of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate hike by year-end. Spot and derivatives indicators weakened, ETF flows slowed and sentiment fell into fear, while long positions remained crowded.

Bitcoin rally loses steam; further correction possible if it breaks below $74,000

Bitcoin’s upward momentum is weakening after it failed to settle above $82,000 and slid to as low as $76,000, an analysis said. The market is watching $74,000 to $76,000 as a key support zone, with $78,000 acting as near-term resistance. If support breaks, attention could shift to $72,000 and $70,000, with deeper declines possible. Several momentum indicators have also turned lower in recent days.
