The crypto landscape is cooling off following last week’s record inflows, now marked by notable ETH outflows as it struggles to retest its all-time high of $4,878.26.
As of this moment, ETH is trading at $4,211, sliding down by 10.29% since last week as outflows continue to deepen and major issuers trim their holdings.
According to SoSoValue’s data, ETH ETFs recorded $422 million in net outflows on 19 August 2025. This marks their second-largest single-day outflow since launch and their third consecutive day of negative performance.
Fidelity recorded the largest outflow at $156 million, followed by Grayscale at $122 million and Bitwise closing off the leaderboard with a recorded $40 million in outflows.

Meanwhile, BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and Invesco saw modest outflows ranging from $3 million to $6 million.
Over the three consecutive days of negative performance, ETH ETFs have recorded roughly $678 million in outflows, resulting in major issuers liquidating their positions.
On-chain data from Arkham reveals that BlackRock, Fidelity and Grayscale collectively unloaded up to $160 million worth of ETH.
The combined outflows have resulted in a reversal of almost a month-long trend of steady inflows and accumulation, suggesting a cooling of institutional sentiment and a broader slowdown in ETH market momentum.

Broader ETH Trend Remains Positive With Short-Term Volatility
Since failing to maintain its momentum, ETH has witnessed a downward spiral and is now at its critical support zone.
On-chain indicators are flashing signs of caution. ETH’s price is consolidating just above the 20-day EMA, near $4,135, which, as of now, is acting as a short-term support following its decline from this month’s peak around $4,750.
Meanwhile, the broader outlook is still positive. The 50, 100 and 200-day EMAs are still sloping upwards. However, its short-term momentum is slowing down.
The RSI has dropped to 54, from overbought territory earlier this month, signalling a waning buying pressure.
ETH’s cooldown has reset market sentiment to neutral, allowing it to enter a balanced territory which is neither overheated nor oversold. If it manages to hold above the $4,135 support zone, there’s a high chance of a renewed upside towards the $4,500 to $4,700 range.

On the flip side, a breakdown below this level could trigger a deeper market correction, shifting attention towards the 50-day EMA near $3,690.

ETH Reserves Remain Strong Despite Outflows
ETH ETF issuers continue to hold over 6.3 million ETH despite recent outflows, which is roughly 5% of the total circulating supply, valued just under $26 billion.
However, if it fails to recover its momentum, more outflows could ensue, promoting additional liquidations, adding to the bearish pressure.
