From 2026-04-02 13:45 to 2026-04-02 14:00 (UTC), the ETH price showed a clear move. The 15-minute candlestick return was +0.92%. It traded in a range of 2018.99 - 2040.78 USDT with an amplitude of 1.08%. During this period, on-chain activity increased significantly: the number of transactions grew by 18% compared with the previous hour. Capital flows accelerated noticeably, and rising market attention contributed to heightened volatility. The main driving force behind this move came from the flow of large on-chain funds and whale activity. In the short term, whale addresses transferred to a certain large wallet or exchange, indicating active accumulation or distribution, which further amplified market fluctuations.

Gate News message, April 1, bolstered by a significant cooldown in U.S.-Iran geopolitical risk, U.S. equities’ tech seven giants (Meta, Nvidia, Google, Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple) all rebounded across the board today. Among them, Meta and Nvidia led the gains with 6.67% and 5.59%, respectively, while Google, Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple rose in tandem by 2.9% to 5.14%, respectively. The easing of the geopolitical situation effectively lowered the global risk premium, prompting capital to flow back into high-beta growth assets.

2026-03-31 09:45 to 2026-03-31 10:00 (UTC), the ETH price fluctuated between 2012.5 and 2030.74 USDT. The 15-minute K-line return rate was -0.61%, and the amplitude reached 0.90%. Among major coins, performance was relatively weak; short-term market attention increased, volatility slightly worsened, and selling pressure was clearly released. The main driving force behind this unusual move is that large funds continued to flow out throughout the day; from 09:45 to 10:00, the outflow intensity further increased. According to on-chain and trading data, on March 3rd, the outflow of main funds persisted, indicating sustained selling pressure and a lack of buying support, which contributed to the continued downward trend in ETH prices.

2026-03-30 14:15 to 14:30 (UTC), over 15 minutes ETH’s return rate is -0.69%, with a price range of 2051.33 to 2068.9 USDT and a range of 0.85%. During this period, overall market volatility generally increased, trading activity picked up, short-term capital’s tug-of-war sentiment heated up, and it drew widespread attention. The main drivers behind this abnormal move are that major exchanges accumulated multiple medium-sized sell orders in a short time; the cumulative selling pressure accounts for 14% of total trading volume, higher than the daily average. The capital flow direction saw a roughly 2.1% increase in net inflow quarter-over-quarter, and some positions were partially held or adjusted.

From 07:45 to 08:00 (UTC) on March 30, 2026, the ETH price return reached +0.79%, closing in the range of 2043.74 to 2068.03 USDT, with a volatility of 1.19%. During this period, market activity increased, short-term capital flow accelerated, and volatility slightly intensified, attracting significant attention from investors. The main driving force behind this anomaly came from a noticeable increase in buying power in the spot market and a dominant bullish sentiment in the derivatives market. On-chain data shows that the funding rate for ETH perpetual contracts remains positive, with longs needing to pay funding fees to shorts.

In March 2026, Trump's suspension of statements regarding energy attacks on Iran triggered significant fluctuations in global markets; however, Iran quickly denied the news, leading to a rapid market reversal. Analysis indicates that the market volatility is related to the early flow of information, demonstrating a trend where low liquidity amplifies fluctuations of policy signals, increasing investment risks.

Latest data shows that net inflows of stablecoins on mainstream platforms have reached about $2.4 billion, indicating a capital flow back into the cryptocurrency market. However, trading activity remains sluggish, and market sentiment is cautious. Analysts point out that the reallocation of funds may signal positioning, but the actual trading volume has significantly declined, reflecting that risk appetite has not recovered and market fragility has increased. The macro environment affects conservative capital, and the future trend depends on the recovery of trading volume and risk alleviation.

2026-03-29 22:30 to 22:45 (UTC), ETH’s return over 15 minutes recorded -1.39%. The price range fluctuated between 1963.72 and 1995.42 USDT, with an amplitude of 1.59%. Short-term market volatility intensified, with selling pressure concentrated and released, and on-chain as well as off-exchange fund flow trends drawing intense attention from investors. The main driver behind this anomaly is concentrated deleveraging by on-chain whales and the forced liquidation of leveraged long positions. During the reporting period, the proportion of whale holdings with 1000+ ETH fell to 73%, the lowest level within the year; some large-position investors sold additional holdings or accelerated their liquidation.
