If ETHE follows the GBTC pattern, as per Duong and Han, then it might see its first internet inflows when its AUM (belongings beneath administration) drops by 53%.
“If ETH value stays fixed and ETHE outflows proceed to common $400M, ETHE would attain 53% of its July 24 AUM in roughly two weeks because of its smaller dimension.”

In consequence, the ETH ETF has turned out to be a ‘purchase the hype, promote the information’ occasion.
In the meantime, ETH might be nearer to a value reversal, as denoted by the Stochastic RSI (Relative Power Index), easing into oversold territory.
Nonetheless, the RSI’s latest dip under the common indicated {that a} convincing rebound might be delayed. If that’s the case, a retest of $3.0k can’t be overruled earlier than ETH bulls try to rebound to clear the overhead resistance ranges at $3.5k and $4k.
