Ether’s 10-day ETF inflow streak just snapped hard. Ethereum price is slipping to $2,300 in today’s Asia session, but that doesn’t mean we are getting a bearish prediction.
Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a net outflow of $75.9 million on April 23, abruptly ending a 10-day consecutive inflow run. Yesterday’s compares poorly with the prior session’s $96.4 million in ETH ETF inflows. Yesterday was a $172.3 million single-day swing in the wrong direction.
Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $223 million on the same day, extending their own inflow streak to eight days. Strategy’s latest purchase, worth $2.54 billion, added further tailwind to the BTC side of the ledger.

Ethereum Price Prediction: $2,500 A Pipe Dream?
ETH opened today at $2,375 before sliding to $2,310 by late morning, a move that put the price back below the $2,400 uptrend level that bulls need to reclaim. Binance analysts flag $2,500 as the critical support zone, warning that failing to break the resistance level could open the path to $2,200.
24-hour volume dropped 8% to approximately $17 billion, which can mean capitulation is still ahead. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 39 (Fear), way better than what it was during last month’s extreme fear situation. RSI registers around 58, technically neutral, so there is still some room to run.
If ETH can reclaim $2,400 once again with recovering volume, not just $2,500, it could as well try to retest the higher $2,800–$3,000 resistance.
$ETH 1D:
Faces key resistance at $2,500 and $2,800, zones characterized by bearish liquidity voids. A push toward these levels is expected, with the 200 day MA serving as my major target. It’s almost ready to breakout IMO. NFA DYORpic.twitter.com/2MCZ0kvqN8

The options’ expiry on April 24 adds a near-term volatility wildcard. Price could whip either direction into the settlement print before establishing a cleaner trend. Stay alert.

LiquidChain As Liquid as Ethereum ETFs
ETH’s ETF streak ending mid-rally is a useful reminder: even assets with genuine institutional momentum can stall at the wrong technical junction. Rotation into earlier-stage infrastructure plays tends to pick up precisely when large-cap assets lose momentum at resistance. It’s a dynamic worth considering.

LiquidChain ($LIQUID) is a Layer 3 infrastructure project positioning itself as the cross-chain liquidity layer, fusing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single execution environment. Developers deploy once and access all three ecosystems simultaneously, which addresses one of DeFi’s most persistent friction points: fragmented liquidity across incompatible chains.
The project’s Unified Liquidity Layer and Single-Step Execution architecture are the core differentiators. Its presale has raised $700K to date at a current price of $0.01452 per LIQUID token. Not to forget its high 1400% APY staking bonus for early buyers.
