Technical Analysis

Short-term Trend: After rebounding from the $2,263 low, the price has entered a sideways consolidation and correction phase, with the price repeatedly competing around the key support/resistance level of $2,310-$2,327.

Key Support Levels:

First Support: $2,310 (short-term support/resistance boundary, a break below may test $2,287)

Key Resistance Levels:

First Resistance: $2,355-$2,390 (near the upper Bollinger Band, tested multiple times without breaking)

Second Resistance: $2,450 (medium-term target, needs volume breakout to confirm)

Technical Indicators:

The Bollinger Bands are narrowing overall, indicating the market is entering a consolidation and buildup phase.

The MACD red histogram continues to shrink, and the KDJ three-line indicator has turned flat after bottoming out, suggesting a relatively balanced power between bulls and bears.

On the daily chart, the 50-day and 200-day moving averages are still trending downward, with the medium-term trend weaker than Bitcoin.

On-Chain and Market Data

Spot Ethereum ETF saw a net inflow of $35.6 billion in April, ending five months of net outflows. On May 1st, a single-day net inflow reached $101.2B, indicating a substantial shift in institutional sentiment.

Ethereum on-chain transfer volume (about $17 billion daily) has surpassed Bitcoin network activity (about $16 billion daily), with active DeFi and stablecoin activity.

The market shows a divergence pattern of "BTC dominance, ETH lagging in gains," with ETH/BTC exchange rate continuing to weaken.

Short Strategy: If resistance occurs at the $2,350-$2,360 range during a rebound, consider light short positions, with a stop-loss at $2,390, targeting $2,310-$2,300.
