Падение ETH за 15 минут на 1.23%: сосредоточенная распродажа со стороны розничных инвесторов и усиление оттока средств из ETF, что усиливает давление на спотовый рынок
2026-04-16 13:45至14:00（UTC），ETH spot price dropped by 1.23% in just 15 minutes, the K-line price range covered 2291.2 to 2336.98 USDT, and the amplitude reached 1.96%。Market volatility intensified, with sell pressure concentrated on the screen; the focus of the trading audience clearly shifted toward changes in capital outflows.
The main driving force behind this abnormal move is large-scale concentrated selling from the retail side. In the spot market, net outflows within 5 minutes reached as high as -$95.57M. Although main capital attempted to buy the dip (net inflow of +$18.95M for large orders within 5 minutes), overall scale was limited and could not effectively offset the overall short-term selling pressure. Meanwhile, the ETH futures market did not see extreme liquidations or large position closures, indicating that the core of the abnormal move stems from an imbalance in spot supply and demand rather than leverage liquidation.
Additionally, ETH spot ETF funds have continued to record net outflows in early April. On April 1, the single-day net outflow was $7.1M, and the overall Q1 trend was bearish, directly reflecting that institutional capital allocation intentions weakened and further eroded market confidence. Some funds have shifted toward on-chain staking and emerging DeFi protocols. Notably, large holders with 100,000-level ETH have continued to reduce positions since the end of March; whale fund outflows have been sustained. Affected by the above signals, retail traders have followed suit, and in the short term multiple selloff factors have created a converging effect. Although both ETH on-chain active addresses and daily trading volume have reached historical highs, and network usage and liquidity remain strong overall, the flow of funds has not formed a substantive spot buying bid, making it difficult to drive a price reversal.
At present, short-term market risk remains significant. It is necessary to watch the intensity of subsequent retail selling, the flow direction of ETF funds, and changes in whale holdings. If whales and main capital do not form a strong follow-through, the spot market may continue to be affected by structural supply release. Investors are advised to monitor key support zones in real time, track on-chain large-transaction fund movements, and keep an eye on macro news, to appropriately guard against short-term price fluctuation risks and promptly obtain more market information.
