Ether (ETH) staged a modest rebound on Saturday after enduring a volatile week punctuated by significant institutional selling. The cryptocurrency bounced back from intraday lows, closing around $2,445, even as data revealed sizable outflows from U.S.-listed spot ETH ETFs.

On Friday, June 20, spot ETH ETFs collectively recorded $11.3 million in net outflows — the largest single-day withdrawal for the month, according to data from Farside Investors. Leading the retreat was BlackRock’s ETHA ETF, which saw its first negative flow of June, with a substantial $19.7 million leaving the fund.

By contrast, Grayscale’s ETHE attracted $6.6 million in inflows, and VanEck’s ETHV ETF added another $1.8 million, partially offsetting the day’s losses. No other issuers reported meaningful inflows or outflows. The diverging flows highlight that while some institutions are trimming exposure, others remain confident in Ether’s long-term prospects.

The outflows coincided with pronounced volatility in ETH’s price. On Friday, Ether plummeted to $2,372.85 amid a sharp sell-off, with trading volume spiking to nearly five times the daily average. However, strong buying interest emerged between $2,420 and $2,430, establishing a firm support zone that has since been tested successfully on low-volume pullbacks, suggesting potential accumulation.

Trading activity surged, with Ether’s 24-hour volume rising 18.97% above its 7-day average, reflecting heightened market interest during the rebound. By the end of the session, ETH had formed an ascending trendline of higher lows, although stiff resistance remains in the $2,480–$2,500 range.
