🟣 Ethereum Bounces Back — Whales & ETF Flows Fuel 46% May Rally
Ethereum ($ETH ) has just notched its first positive month of 2025, surging 46% in May, fueled by whale accumulation and spot ETF inflows — signaling growing institutional and retail confidence.
🔍 Key Market Stats (as of May 30, 2025):
Price: $2,578 (📉 -2.6% on the day, 📈 +46% on the month)
Whale Accumulation: +1.12M ETH added by wallets holding 10K–100K ETH
ETF Inflows: $493.94M in May (9-day streak of positive flows)
Open Interest (OI): Up 43% — from $12.18B ➜ $17.53B
🐋 Whale Activity at 2-Year High
Ethereum whales are back in accumulation mode.
Largest monthly whale buying since July 2022.
Addresses with 10K–100K ETH added over $2.8B worth of ETH in May.
🧾 ETF Momentum Grows
US spot Ethereum ETFs saw nearly half a billion dollars in May inflows.
Thursday alone brought in $91.93M, extending a 9-day positive streak.
📊 Derivatives Market Heating Up
Open Interest (OI) rose 43%, but short positions dominate on Binance.
This may be whales hedging or traders expecting a pullback — a sign of mixed sentiment in derivatives despite spot optimism.
🔁 Exchange Flow Watch
After three days of exchange inflows, ETH saw 114,000 ETH in outflows on Friday — signaling spot demand returning heading into the weekend.
🔺 Technicals to Watch
ETH is testing an ascending triangle support near the 14-day EMA.
If it holds, bulls could push ETH toward the next resistance at $2,800–$3,000.
Breakdown risk if support at $2,550 fails.
🧠 Bottom Line:
Ethereum is showing strength as institutional demand rises via ETFs, whales stack up, and spot market pressure builds. While short interest may suggest a correction, long-term sentiment is turning bullish.
📍 Watch $2,550 support — and the ETF inflow trend — as key signals for ETH’s next move.
