Ethereum Market Analysis on October 25, 2025: Short-term pullback under pressure, whales increasing holdings against the market releases positive signals.

As of October 25, 2025, 1:57 AM, the core market data for Ethereum is as follows: the current price is $3893.00, down $28.23 in the last 24 hours, a decrease of 0.72%; the daily fluctuation range is $3818.72 - $4026.39, with a trading volume of 9.35 million, a transaction amount of $36.41 billion, and a market capitalization stable at $469.59 billion.

From a technical perspective, the short-term trend shows significant adjustment characteristics. On the 1-hour chart, the price of Ethereum has broken below the three key moving averages: MA5, MA20, and MA60. The moving average system has formed a death cross and continues to diverge downwards, with short-term upward momentum significantly weakening and retracement pressure becoming prominent. However, the medium to long-term bullish foundation has not completely collapsed, as the MACD indicator shows a DIF value of 1.75 and a DEA value of 1.44, both in the positive range and with DIF above DEA. However, the indicator histogram has shown short-term contraction, indicating that the upward momentum has slowed down.

The market sentiment and capital flow are showing a divergent trend. Currently, the Fear and Greed Index is at 74, still in the "Greed" zone, reflecting that the market's optimistic expectation for the overall trend has not fundamentally reversed. However, the on-chain capital flow indicates that the net outflow of total funds reached 14,643,400 ETH (total outflow 240 million ETH, total inflow 225 million ETH). Breaking it down, small and medium investors (mid-whales and below) are experiencing panic selling, while giant whale addresses are increasing their holdings against the market trend, with a net inflow reaching 280 million ETH, far exceeding the outflow of 234 million ETH, further increasing the concentration of funds.

The severe fluctuations in the derivatives market have intensified the uncertainty of short-term market conditions. In the past 24 hours, the number of liquidations across the Ethereum network reached 7,199, with a total liquidation amount of up to $86.32 million, of which long position liquidations accounted for 76.74% and short position liquidations accounted for 23.26%. Bulls have suffered heavy losses on mainstream trading platforms, and the intensity of the short-term long-short battle has significantly escalated.

Overall, Ethereum is currently in a deep correction phase, with short-term technical pressures and damage to the long positions in the derivatives market. However, the whales are increasing their holdings against the trend, and the "greedy" market sentiment provides some support for the market. It is expected that in the short term, Ethereum will likely maintain a consolidation range between $3700 and $3900, and it will be important to pay attention to the effectiveness of the $3700 support level and the movements of whale funds.
