ETF inflows and scams rise as upgrades reshape Ethereum landscape

BlackRock has launched the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) on Nasdaq, providing investors access to Ethereum exposure with staking rewards, and the ETF recorded approximately $15.5 million in trading volume on its debut. Spot Ethereum ETFs registered net inflows of around $57 million on March 11, reflecting continued institutional demand for ETH investment products. At the same time, Etherscan reported a spike in 'address poisoning' scams affecting Ethereum users after the Fusaka upgrade, while Vitalik Buterin noted that the PeerDAS network upgrade has increased the platform's data capacity.

Bullish intraday action faces overbought risks on mixed momentum

Technically, ETH finds immediate support at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $1,999.50. Momentum readings are mixed: while the D1 MACD and ADX continue to flag bearish pressure, today's strong move higher is confirmed by a gain of $80.83 and readings in buy territory from RSI (51.65), CCI (99.87), and the Awesome Oscillator. However, Stoch RSI and Bull/Bear Power indicate overbought conditions amid high volatility, as ETH trades near the upper end of the day's range ($2,071.09 – $2,148.45). This blend of overbought oscillators and bullish intraday action introduces a risk of short-term pullback even as buying currently dominates.

Sideways consolidation likely as breakout odds remain subdued

Over the next five sessions, ETH is expected to stay within a typical volatility band of $1,900 – $2,170. Current signals suggest a low probability (less than 20%) of a sustained upward breakout, with the most likely scenario being sideways consolidation between support at $1,900 and resistance at $2,170. A decisive move above $2,170 would require renewed and sustained demand, while a drop below $1,900 could trigger further declines given prevailing medium- and long-term bearish momentum.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, senior analyst at Traders Union, sees robust institutional interest in Ethereum, following BlackRock’s ETF launch and continued net inflows. He notes that ETH’s price action is supported by constructive news and short-term momentum, despite broader resistance and overbought signals. The analyst expects price to consolidate as bullish sentiment is tempered by technical barriers. "I believe Ethereum remains positioned for renewed upside, provided demand persists above $1,900 and the macro narrative stays supportive."

Previously it was reported that Ethereum is showing a short-term bullish bias, trading above key near-term support levels and its 20-day moving average, yet remains below its 50- and 200-day moving averages, reflecting persistent medium- and long-term pressure. Technical indicators are mixed, with oscillators flashing buy signals and overbought conditions, while MACD suggests lingering negative momentum, limiting upside potential and supporting a consolidative outlook between established support and resistance levels amid elevated volatility.
