On March 2, 2026, from 14:30 to 14:45 (UTC), ETH prices surged rapidly within 15 minutes, achieving a return of +2.00%. The price fluctuated between 1925.88 and 1967.3 USDT, with an amplitude of 2.15%. Market attention significantly increased, with capital flow and trading volume expanding in tandem. Short-term volatility intensified, prompting investors to closely monitor.
The main driver of this movement was the continuous net inflow of ETF funds, which increased institutional participation and rapidly boosted spot buying. The accelerated inflow through ETF channels shows a high correlation with historical data. Coupled with a 15-minute structural breakout (BOS signal), large funds actively built positions, leading to a breakthrough of key support levels.
Additionally, the number of active on-chain addresses and transaction counts experienced a short-term sharp increase, indicating rapid on-chain capital movement and heightened short-term volatility. Simultaneously, multi-cycle order flow and increased interactions with popular DeFi protocol smart contracts further amplified ETH demand. Market sentiment remained bullish, with mainstream capital and ecosystem innovation resonating, driving ETH’s gains ahead of the overall crypto market. ETH’s market cap share rose to 10.3%, with 24-hour trading volume reaching $9.99 billion.
Short-term risks are significant; ETH’s high volatility could lead to rapid pullbacks. Investors should watch key support at 1925.88 and resistance at 1967.3 USDT for capital behavior. It is recommended to focus on ETF capital flows, large on-chain transfers, and changes in popular smart contract interactions, as well as macro market news. Please continue monitoring the latest market data to prevent sudden fluctuations and on-chain capital movements from impacting your positions.
