What Is Driving the Latest ETH Price Outlook?
Ethereum enters December with competing trends of rising ETF inflows, falling leverage, and increasing institutional holdings, which are all clashing with bearish price movement indications. Traders are staying tuned to see whether the institutional confidence will halt the continued decline in price for ETH or whether volatility continues to drive it lower.
ETF Flows Reflect Rapid Shifts in Market Behavior
Ethereum ETFs suffered sharp withdrawals to start November. Between November 12 and 20, $150+ million was withdrawn across numerous daily sessions. The largest withdrawals were experienced by the largest volume ETFs (BlackRock’s ETHA and Fidelity’s FETH), while assets with high fees were experiencing continued selling. Many investors appeared to be cashing out and reallocating their funds into less risky or less expensive assets.
The trend changed after November 21 as ETF inflows returned to ETHA and FETH, indicating that institutional investors were beginning to re-enter the marketplace. Most of the capital flowed into lower-fee products, and staking enabled assets, suggesting that the overall trend is to rotate into more efficient products. The cumulative inflows are approaching $13 billion, indicating that these inflows will be a major factor in predicting the short-term price of ETH and will be closely monitored to see if momentum can continue.

Liquidation Activity Shows Cooling Leverage
CoinGlass liquidation-map data shows interesting dynamics. Surging long liquidations are seen in Ethereum’s market, as the price swings between $2,845.07 and $5,000, indicating heavily leveraged bullish positions. Sharp green spikes indicate overextended longs, triggering sudden downward corrections amid heightened volatility and trading activity.
Short liquidations remain smaller, which signals cautious bearish exposure. Analysts note support around $2,600 and resistance near $5,000, with future ETH price prediction likely to be affected by liquidation patterns, leverage levels, and sudden price shocks. Therefore, short-term volatility might continue, along with rebound-driven short squeezes.

Technical Indicators Point to Weakening Momentum
Technical indicators are now indicating oversold conditions, hinting at a potential bounce. ETH’s 4-hour chart represents a downward trend. By press time, the price is near $2,836 and below the consolidation level. RSI near 31 is about entering the oversold zone, but the MACD is negative. These indicators confirm the weakening momentum but leave room for short-term buyers to react.
Support zones between $2,600 and $2,900 are closely watched. A bounce from these levels could spark renewed upward moves, while a break below may extend the downtrend. Technical patterns remain an essential tool in shaping ETH price prediction strategies.

Could BitMine’s Growing Holdings Influence Market Direction?
Institutional accumulation is gaining interest, with major players like BitMine adding holdings. After accumulating 14,618 Tokens, BitMine Immersion Technologies now holds a near 3% total of Ethereum’s circulating supply. Following this news release, the value of BitMine’s publicly traded stock went up, demonstrating confidence in the market. The business has announced plans to expand its staking via continued Ethereum purchases for the long term.

With ETF inflows returning, leverage easing, and corporate interest rising, traders are factoring these elements into the price prediction models. Observers are now watching December levels closely to see whether Ethereum may stabilize, rebound, or continue lower.
