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.

Bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms sold 3,778 Bitcoins in the first quarter of 2026, cashing in nearly $290 million, and its holdings decreased by about 18%. Multiple mining firms have been reducing their positions, reflecting rising funding pressure. Despite weakening market demand, some institutions are still increasing their Bitcoin holdings, indicating that demand is concentrating among participants with stronger financial capacity; in the short term, the price trend will be influenced by the interplay between supply and demand.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that negotiations on the Clarity Act legislation are progressing well and an agreement is expected to be reached soon. He emphasized that the U.S. should pass the bill as soon as possible to solidify its position as a cryptocurrency hub and noted that the use of stablecoins will facilitate the integration of traditional finance with the crypto industry.

The situation in the Middle East has deteriorated, leading to significant fluctuations in Bitcoin's price. On Monday, Bitcoin briefly dropped to $65,112 but then quickly rebounded to $67,400, indicating active buying at support levels. The market's sensitive reaction to the escalation of war and increased macroeconomic pressures has led to a divergence in the performance of mainstream assets. The future trend of Bitcoin will be influenced by geopolitical conflicts and macro variables, and it may continue to maintain high volatility.

During Trump's presidency, traders made precise arrangements before the announcement of his major policies, potentially profiting millions of dollars. Legal experts believe these trades are suspicious and should be investigated for information leaks to maintain market fairness.

Latest data shows that if Bitcoin falls below $60,000 again, the time for the market to return to its historical high may be delayed until 2027. Analysts believe that the current pullback and market conditions suggest there is still room for downside, and the intensified selling by whales has increased the pressure for market recovery.
