A long short strangulation battle is unfolding, with giant whales sweeping goods in the dark night and individual investors shedding blood and tears. Institutional bottom fishing: billions of capital swallowed chips against the trend 1. ETF institutions' greedy fundraising The US spot Ethereum ETF has had a net inflow for 20 consecutive days, with a cumulative cash inflow of $5.4 billion in July. BlackRock increased its holdings by 27000 ETH (approximately $100 million) in a single day, with a total holding size exceeding $10 billion, becoming the "anchor" in the sharp decline. 2. The giant whale is crazily sweeping goods outside the venue The mysterious institution "ETH Micro Strategy SBET" spent $108 million twice within 24 hours to purchase ETH through the Galaxy Digital over-the-counter platform; During the same period, two new whale addresses bought 68297 ETH (approximately $252 million) in a single day, resulting in a significant increase in net outflow from the exchange. Retail investors cutting meat: 179 million explosive warehouse receipts staining the market red 1. * * Leveraged Long Blood 8 Hours * *: ETH plummeted from $3600 to $3494, triggering a multi order liquidation of $179 million across the entire network, with retail investors holding over 96% of high leverage positions. 2. * * Panic selling intensifies * *: On chain data shows that CEX has had a net outflow of 641600 ETH in the past 7 days, with Coinbase Pro and Binance being the main withdrawal platforms, and the proportion of individual coin holdings dropping to a new low for the year. Long Short Duel: Deadly Resonance between Technical and Macro Perspectives 1. Key support lost The ETH price has broken through the upward channel and hit the lower limit of $3625. The 4-hour Supertrend indicator has turned bearish, and the lower limit of the Bollinger Bands points to $3160. If it cannot recover from the $3525 cut-off line within the day, it may slide into the abyss of $3307. 2. Macro negative chain impact -The hawkish stance of the Federal Reserve has suppressed the probability of a September interest rate cut from 60% to 43%, and the US dollar index is forcing * * 98.7 * * to suppress risky assets; -Trump's new tariff policy came into effect at midnight (39% in Switzerland and 50% in Brazil), triggering indiscriminate selling in global markets. Behind the Line of Life and Death: Who controls the fate of ETH? 】 The sharp decline is not the end, but a bloody ritual of capital redistribution! ” 1. Institutional logic: BlackRock and others used ETF channels to attract funds at low prices, betting on the bottoming out and rebound of ETH/BTC exchange rates, as well as the outbreak of the L2 ecosystem (with gas fees falling below $1). 2. * * Retail investor dilemma * *: Over 640000 ETH * * (approximately $2.34 billion) pledged and unlocked in the queue, coupled with a wave of leverage liquidation, short-term selling pressure is like a hanging sword. Future outlook: A golden pit or a mass market 1. * * Long defense line * *: The historical strong support zone is $3400. If the volume rebounds above $3600, it may trigger short covering. 2. * * Risk Warning * *: If it falls below $3300, it may trigger a chain sell-off to reach $3100, but the medium - to long-term institutional holding cost line (3200-3300) may become a bottom anchor point. *Operation signal * *: When the giant whale searched for the bottom in the dark night, the bones of individual investors were still fresh - this $3400 life and death battle was destined to be a dual test of capital and faith. Operation suggestion: BTC 112200 long, first target watch 113200, second target watch 114200; ETH 3360 long, first target is 3420, second target is 3495.
