Ethereum stays fragile as ETF outflows persist

​Ethereum remains under pressure despite fresh buying from large holders. Institutional demand is still weak, while today’s U.S. elections could have a significant impact on the market’s next move.

According to SoSoValue, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded roughly $139.8 million in net outflows on November 2. That marks a sixth consecutive trading session of negative flows.

Big wallets are accumulating more ETH. Arkham says that BitMine bought an additional 5,000 ETH worth $11.22 million. But it has not made much difference to the overall picture, as institutional outflows remain dominant.

Investor attention today is centered on the U.S. congressional elections. Political uncertainty is encouraging a more cautious approach to risk assets, while the crypto options market is already pricing in the potential for higher volatility.

Failure to reclaim $2,300 keeps downside risks elevated

ETH failed to establish itself above $2,300 and, as outlined previously, this increases the likelihood of another test of support near $2,200.

For a stronger recovery toward $2,350–2,400, the price needs to stabilize above $2,300 alongside an increase in trading volume. Until that happens, the technical structure remains vulnerable and rebound attempts could quickly run into renewed selling.

RSI (14) is approaching oversold territory but has not entered it yet. If the price begins to stabilize, the indicator could provide an additional positive signal for a rebound. Without confirmation from trading volume, however, it is still too early to call a sustainable reversal.

Election uncertainty raises short-term trading risks

Early election results could trigger sharp moves across U.S. equities, which may quickly spill over into crypto. Weak buyer conviction also leaves ETH particularly sensitive to even short-term shifts in demand.

Volatility could increase significantly over the next 24 hours, especially as votes are counted. Short-term traders may therefore want to account for the risk of abrupt moves in either direction and avoid excessive leverage.
