【Down 2% in 24 hours, still up 1.4% for the week: ETH is waiting for direction】
ETH is trading at $2,405 today, down 2% over the past 24 hours. A week ago it was around $2,370, leaving it up a net 1.4% over seven days. I don’t have comparable price data from a month ago, so I won’t make anything up. But with ETH still 51.4% below its all-time high, this is certainly no easy territory.
My signal is clear: wait and see. The short-term bias is bearish, but it’s not time to chase the downside yet. On the price chart, $2,355.57 is near-term support and $2,569.24 is resistance above. Price is caught between them, and direction hasn’t been decided. Trading volume is active, though, which shows that the disagreement isn’t because nobody is trading—it’s because both bulls and bears are waiting for the other side to show its hand first. The sentiment index is at 68, still in greed territory and above the weekly average of 59. These aren’t panic-driven holdings, so any rebound could bring selling pressure from investors taking profits.
There’s another reality check: U.S. spot ETH ETFs saw $1.08 billion in outflows in October, the largest monthly outflow of 2026. In practical terms, institutional inflows aren’t currently stepping in to support the market. Who will feel the impact? Assets that rely on ETF liquidity and leverage in the short term will come under pressure first. Meanwhile, those building ecosystems, products, and long-term infrastructure can treat a period of low valuations as a time to build. Does the business case hold up? Yes—but money won’t automatically flow back just because the price has “halved.” We need to see net inflows or the price reclaim and hold above resistance.
I’m not rushing to call for a rally, nor am I in a hurry to sell everything. A break below $2,355.57 on strong volume would confirm a bearish signal; a move back above $2,569.24 could signal a shift to a bullish trend.
Which way are you leaning this time—bullish, bearish, or still waiting?
