Tuesday's Ethereum spot ETF showed a quite obvious signal—its largest single-day net outflow since August 13, with nearly 100,000 ETH leaving the market. Even more noteworthy is that related products under BlackRock experienced over 120,000 ETH in fund outflows within just two days. Compared to Bitcoin spot ETF investors who are still on the sidelines, Ethereum investors are clearly beginning to show divergence—some have already entered panic mode. Considering that the current average entry cost for ETH spot ETFs is around 3300, this wave of outflows reflects market disagreement on the future trend and some investors' risk aversion. Large fund withdrawals are often a leading indicator of a shift in sentiment.

ETH-1,4%

BTC-0,76%

the aesthetic deterioration of eth's tokenomics narrative is honestly more concerning than the raw outflow numbers... like idk, feels less about fundamentals and more about loss of cultural momentum? institutional money reading the room differently than retail—that's the real deconstruction happening here.

BlackRock's 120,000 tokens ran out in two days, this pace doesn't seem right... As expected, institutions are still smarter than retail investors.

BlackRock's recent sell-off really didn't hold back... The cost at 3300 now just looks painful. --- A large fund exit is the clearest signal; no need for complicated analysis. --- Is ETH panicking? BTC hasn't even moved, and you guys can't sit still. --- 100,000 ETH disappeared in two days; this panic selling has indeed arrived. --- Why are institutions all cutting positions... there must be something behind this. --- BlackRock sold 120,000 ETH so quickly; retail investors are still buying at the bottom. --- Sentiment shift as a leading indicator... to put it nicely, it actually means a decline. --- It must be very painful now that I entered at 3300; I just want to see how much lower it will go in the end. --- The big players have all withdrawn; are the rest just sacrificial lambs? --- This sell-off pace looks a bit frightening.

BlackRock's massive outflow, institutions are panicking, how far have we come --- Another signal of pulling the rug, not surprising anymore --- 100,000 ETH directly dumped, do they really think retail investors are fools --- Now that the price is at 3300, with big players fleeing, we still have to buy the dip, right --- Panic mode activated, looks like I need to prepare to buy the dip or cut losses --- Why is BTC holding steady while ETH is so volatile? Why is there such a big difference --- BlackRock's 120,000 ETH in two days, such a move... quite aggressive --- Sentiment turning point indicator, in plain terms, it means a decline is coming --- This outflow, serves those who chased the high right, they deserve the bad luck

BlackRock's recent withdrawal is quite aggressive, 120,000 ETH just gone like that. Institutions wouldn't cause trouble without reason. --- Panic mode activated, even the 3300 support level can't hold? That's ridiculous. --- Large funds have exited, retail investors are still in a daze, a typical trap for the little guys. --- Why does ETH seem more bearish than BTC? Are institutions about to dump? --- Scary, 120,000 ETH in two days. This pace suggests something's about to happen. --- Just watch the show and wait for the dip to buy in. --- Is this real? Such a large outflow with no official statement? --- The word "differentiation" is well said—half the people are fleeing, half are still holding onto their dreams. --- Institutions leading the escape, follow-the-leader traders are going to suffer. --- What’s the mindset now that you're in at 3300? Probably your blood pressure is soaring.

BlackRock's recent sell-off力度, it seems that big investors are really panicking... --- 100,000 ETH fleeing in one day, feels like a change is coming... --- If the cost basis of 3300 breaks, these people will have to cut losses. I bet it will get even worse. --- BTC investors are still sleeping, while ETH has already started dumping, the divergence is becoming more and more obvious. --- Large funds are rushing to exit first, retail investors are still hesitating whether to jump in, it's really ironic. --- BlackRock sold 120,000 ETH in two days, what does that indicate... even institutions can't see through what’s next. --- This pace, we just need an official statement. --- Panic mode activated, it feels like the next wave of decline is just around the corner. --- If the 3300 cost basis is broken, it’s likely that everyone will have to queue up to cut losses.

BlackRock's move this time shows that even the big players are uncertain. 120,000 ETH was sold in just two days. Where are the institutional holdings promised? Bought at 3300 and now suffering heavy losses. No wonder so many people are starting to cut their positions. Bitcoin is still holding up, but Ethereum has already collapsed. When divergence appears, it's never a good sign. Large funds are fleeing first, retail investors are still waiting for a rebound—classic trap-the-chives rhythm. Feels like a bottom signal or a further decline—really hard to read.
