ETH 15-minute decline of 1.34%: On-chain fund outflows and profit-taking after the upgrade jointly exert pressure on the price
From 14:30 to 14:45 (UTC) on February 17, 2026, ETH price experienced a short-term decline of 1.34%. This fluctuation occurred during a high-liquidity period when European and American markets intersect, accompanied by increased order book volatility. The market showed a phased wait-and-see attitude regarding Ethereum's future direction. On-chain data indicates that the ETH mainnet saw a net outflow of up to 21,395.6 ETH within the previous 24 hours, significantly reducing short-term market liquidity support and acting as a trigger for this price decline.
The main driver of this fluctuation was large-scale on-chain fund transfers out of exchanges, leading to a decrease in available liquidity for buy orders.
