According to Sosovalue data, spot ETH ETFs recorded inflows within the first 24 hours of trading. While the ETF greenlight was expected to spark a bull run, the bears took over, pushing the price below $3.38K.
Ethereum is down 1.98% in the past 24 hours, with the price trading at $3,455.30. Trading volume has increased by 2.8%. History repeats itself, as seen with Bitcoin [BTC] ETFs, which demonstrated heavy demand for the cryptocurrency; the same is expected for ETH. Notably, BlackRock’s ETH ETF (ETHA) exhibited the highest inflows, recording $266.55 million in one-day net inflows as of July 23. The ETF holds total net assets worth $277.08 million, leading the ETH ETF sector.

Should Investors Be Aware Of ETH Bears?
Ethereum’s recent price action reflects a slippery bullish trend, highlighted by recent highs breaching the $3,560 resistance level, with the potential to test $3,621 soon. However, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 55 indicates a neutral position.
Should bears regain control, Ethereum could retrace to $3,346 initially, potentially falling further to $2,882 in a more pronounced decline.
