ETH rose 0.79% in 15 minutes: Spot buying increased and futures bulls resonated to boost the market.

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, drawing high attention from investors.

The main driver of this anomaly came from a significant increase in buying power in the spot market and bullish sentiment dominating the derivatives market. On-chain data shows that the funding rate for ETH perpetual contracts remains positive, with longs paying shorts, indicating strong overall bullish expectations in the market. Meanwhile, net inflows to exchanges were positive, with a net inflow of $420,000; the new liquidity was quickly absorbed by buying pressure, creating positive feedback between spot buying and long derivatives positions, jointly pushing up the price.

Additionally, although there was a net outflow of -32,941.9498 ETH (approximately 32,900 pieces) from the ETH U.S. spot ETF during the same period, which theoretically should create some selling pressure, market demand remained strong. After the ETF redemptions, not all funds flowed back into exchanges; some were absorbed by long-term holders on-chain. Exchange positions only increased slightly, indicating overall ample market liquidity. The outflow of ETF funds, the surge in spot buying, and bullish sentiment in futures resonated with each other, further amplifying upward price momentum. The dynamic adjustment of the position structure also effectively weakened short-term profit-taking selling pressure.

It is important to note that although the recent outflow of ETF funds has not suppressed the market, if the redemption scale continues to expand, it may exacerbate selling pressure in the spot market. The bullish sentiment in the derivatives market is strong, and if sentiment reverses or the funding rate falls, there is a potential risk of a long squeeze. At the same time, it is necessary to dynamically track key indicators such as large on-chain transfers, futures, and ETF fund flows. Users should closely monitor short-term price fluctuations and changes in market sentiment, and dynamically pay attention to more market information.
