2026-04-20 07:15 to 07:30 (UTC), ETH’s short-term return reached +1.22%. The price range spanned from 2285.19 to 2332.62 USDT, with a 2.07% amplitude. During this period, market attention heated up, volatility noticeably intensified. On-chain transaction volume rose in tandem, and key mainstream on-chain activity indicators expanded significantly on a month-over-month basis. The primary driver of this deviation was an increase in transaction activity related to DeFi protocols, which boosted the share of on-chain Gas consumption. At the same time, total on-chain transaction volume saw a sharp surge in a short time. DeFi scenarios such as decentralized exchanges and lending protocols led to a direct surge in demand for ETH, driving funds to flow quickly into the market. In addition, the average Gas fees and Gas prices on the ETH network continued to climb in this window, further validating that high-frequency trading and active capital were accelerating into the market and strengthening short-term bullish sentiment. Second, on-chain data also showed an expansion in liquidity related to stablecoins and ERC20 assets, strengthening market buy-side power. Although historical large-wallets such as Wilcke still held a large amount of ETH after early March, this cycle did not trigger abnormal transfers or large-scale sell-offs. Meanwhile, the positioning structure of mainstream ETH did not show passive deleveraging or concentrated liquidation. Under the combined effects of multiple factors, global buy-side demand was amplified, and short-term ETH volatility was further elevated. Be alert to the risk of capital sustainability after a surge in high-frequency trading volume and Gas fees. If subsequent incremental buying is lacking or on-chain attention cools down, ETH may face short-term pullback pressure. Monitor changes in large-holder positions, any abnormal shifts in network fees, and liquidity volatility on the DeFi protocol chain. While there have been no signs of security incidents involving major contracts and protocols so far, short-term liquidity disturbances still need close observation. Keep monitoring fund flows and on-chain structure to stay informed about subsequent market changes.

From 14:30 to 14:45 (UTC) on 2026-04-17, the Bitcoin (BTC) market saw clear signs of abnormal movement. The 15-minute candlestick return reached +0.69%, with the price ranging from 77455.4 to 78044.4 USDT and an amplitude of 0.76%. Short-term fluctuations increased market attention, trading volume expanded in parallel, and liquidity improved further. The main driver behind this abnormal move was a clear strengthening of spot-market buy-side demand. According to on-chain and statistical data, from 14:00 to 15:00, BTC spot buys had the upper hand. Massive buy orders continued to push the price higher, while whale addresses (≥10,000 BTC holdings) were actively net-buying during this period. The inflow of large on-chain funds directly drove spot prices higher. In addition, CME Bitcoin futures open interest increased by 70%, yet there was no large-scale liquidation or forced selling, indicating that institutional capital was returning in an orderly manner and that futures leverage did not become the dominant source of pressure. The leading force behind this upswing came from the spot market, and any wait-and-see sentiment caused by shrinking ETF flows did not suppress short-term prices. Meanwhile, on-chain data shows that network activity has continued to rise, and the distribution of holdings is becoming more concentrated. In the short term, the coordinated effect of whales and newly onboarded users amplified price elasticity. Benefiting from an increase in macro risk appetite in mid-April—along with dovish signals from the Bank of Japan coinciding with easing geopolitical tensions—BTC’s attractiveness as a risk asset improved, and investors’ risk appetite strengthened. In addition, although ETF net inflows fell to $4.2 million, there were no large outflows, providing bottom support for spot. Multiple factors converged to drive BTC’s short-term rebound within the 15-minute window. It is worth noting that the SOPR data for short-term holders shows that some short-term capital is currently trading at a loss; if the price pulls back, there may be a risk of additional downside. Changes in institutional capital driven by shrinking ETF flows are also a potential trigger for volatility. The return of leveraged funds to the futures market is also worth watching. Investors should closely monitor key support levels, the movements of actively circulating on-chain funds, and changes in macro news, so they can grasp the market’s timing and stay up to date with more real-time market information.
