Whale Flow to Binance Hits Six-Month Low at $3.27 Billion | Weekly Whale Watch

Following Bitcoin’s surge to a new all-time high in May, leading altcoin Ethereum experienced a renewed uptick in trading activity, briefly trading at a multi-month peak of $2,789 on May 29.

However, as the broader market has cooled over the past two weeks, ETH’s price action has tightened, consolidating within a narrow range. Despite this, market analysts remain broadly bullish on ETH’s prospects for June.

Ethereum Outlook Turns Bullish as Institutional ETF Inflows Surge

In an exclusive interview with BeInCrypto, Temujin Louie, CEO of Wanchain, said ETH’s outlook for the month is “increasingly bullish,” driven by consistent inflows in Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and renewed network stability.

“Continued investment in Ethereum ETFs indicates that institutional interest remains strong, reinforcing ETH’s credibility as a long-term asset. Ethereum’s recent Pectra upgrade was also a significant success, and the internal disputes within the Ethereum Foundation have quieted; investor confidence in both Ethereum as a network and ETH as an asset is restoring,” Louie noted.

Further, Dominick John, an analyst at Kronos Research, confirms this optimism, emphasizing the impact of surging ETF inflows on the coin’s price action. According to John:

“ETH ETFs have significantly shaped recent price action, signaling surging institutional interest that’s boosting market liquidity while tempering volatility. This wave of demand, paired with strong fundamentals like stablecoin strength and solid on-chain signals, are tightening supply and supporting sustained interest.”

According to SosoValue, ETH-backed ETFs have witnessed an uptick in weekly inflows since May 16. This week, net inflows into these investment vehicles totaled $286 million, highlighting growing confidence among institutional investors.

If this continues, it could create upward pressure on ETH’s price, triggering a break above its narrow range in June.

In addition, ETH’s consistently positive funding rate further supports this bullish outlook. As of this writing, ETH’s funding rate sits at 0.0068%, reflecting ongoing confidence from leveraged traders willing to pay a premium to maintain their long positions.

The funding rate is used in perpetual futures contracts to ensure that contract prices align with the underlying asset’s spot price. When an asset’s funding rate is positive, traders holding long positions are paying those holding short positions. This indicates market sentiment is bullish, as more market participants are betting on price increases. 

ETH’s sustained positive funding rate aligns with the significant institutional inflows into ETH-backed ETFs. It adds another layer of confirmation that market participants are positioning for further upside in June.

There Is A Catch

Despite the bullish outlook for ETH in June, these analysts caution that broader macroeconomic conditions could still pose risks to the asset’s short-term performance.

Louie emphasized that while ETH’s fundamentals remain strong, the leading altcoin “remains vulnerable to macroeconomic conditions.”

“Despite current bullish momentum, the crypto market as a whole remains speculative, reacting sharply to inflation data, interest rate expectations, Federal Reserve policy shifts, and other external factors. While Ethereum’s fundamentals remain strong, short-term price trends can be quickly reversed by adverse macroeconomic trends,” he stated.

John also added that the Federal Reserve’s upcoming June 17 FOMC meeting is one to look out for. 

“Broader macro trends, particularly inflation data and the Fed’s rate policy, remain pivotal to price action. A dovish pivot could reinforce ETH’s breakout, especially with sustained ETF inflows. However, a hawkish stance may inject fresh volatility, even as stablecoin dominance, staking yields, and Layer-2 growth continue to signal underlying strength in the ecosystem,” he explained.

As ETH enters June with growing optimism, investors should watch macroeconomic signals closely, as they will likely shape the trajectory of ETH’s price in the coming weeks.

Bitcoin’s decisive break above the psychological $95,000 barrier has reignited bullish momentum across the crypto market. As market sentiment becomes increasingly positive, crypto whales are buying several differentiating altcoins this week.

Among the top picks are Avalanche (AVAX), Ethereum (ETH), and meme-coin Pepe (PEPE), all of which have seen significant whale inflows this week.

Avalanche (AVAX)

Layer-1 (L1)  coin AVAX has seen increased whale attention this week, reflected by the spike in its large holders’ netflow. According to IntoTheBlock, this has rocketed over 380% in the past seven days.

A large holder is a wallet address holding over 0.1% of an asset’s circulating supply. The large holders’ netflow tracks these investors’ buying and selling activity. 

When it rises, crypto whales buy more tokens. This bullish signal often prompts retail investors to increase their holdings. 

If AVAX’s accumulation trend persists, its price could breach the resistance at $24.28 and rally toward $30.23.

Conversely, if demand wanes, AVAX could fall to $14.66. 

Ethereum (ETH)

Amid the recent broader market rally, ETH has recorded a modest 3% price uptick in the past seven days, buoyed by steady whale accumulation. 

According to Santiment, during that period, whale addresses holding between 10,000 and 100,000 coins have acquired 280,000 ETH valued at over $510 million at current market prices. 

As of this writing, this cohort of ETH whales controls 25.24 million ETH, their highest holding in the past month. ETH’s price could be driven above the psychological $2,000 mark if whale accumulation persists.

However, if the bears regain dominance, they could push the coin’s price to $1,733.

Pepe (PEPE)

Popular meme coin PEPE is another asset that has seen a surge in crypto whale accumulation this week. Per Santiment, wallet addresses that hold between 100,000 and 1 million tokens have bought 350 million PEPE in the past seven days. 

At press time, the meme coin trades at $0.0000086. If whale accumulation persists, PEPE could reverse its current downtrend and break above the resistance at $0.0000010. 

On the other hand, if sellofs continue, the token’s price could drop to $0.0000052.

Prominent on-chain analyst Willy Woo has stated that Bitcoin (BTC) could reclaim its all-time highs if the current capital inflows persist. 

He added that investors should view price dips as healthy corrections and buying opportunities rather than as signals of a market crash.

Will Bitcoin Reclaim Its All-Time High Again?

Woo shared his insights in a detailed thread on X (formerly Twitter). He believes strong fundamentals support Bitcoin’s bullish trend. 

This includes a rising capital inflow into the Bitcoin network, with total and speculative capital flows recently bottoming out. The alignment of these flows creates a solid, bullish environment for the asset.

“BTC fundamentals have turned bullish, not a bad setup to break all-time highs,” he stated.

Additionally, Woo highlighted that Bitcoin’s liquidity is deepening, as evidenced by his downward-trending Risk Model. This downtrend suggests market liquidity has returned. Therefore, future price drops will likely be smaller and less severe, reducing the risk of sharp sell-offs.

“All dips are for buying under the present regime. In the very short term, there’s good chances of dips,” Woo asserted.

The analyst further noted that Bitcoin has already reclaimed medium-term price targets of $90,000 and $93,000. In addition, a new interim target at $103,000 has formed, suggesting that Bitcoin will likely reach this level before pushing toward the $108,000 all-time high.

He clarified that these targets are supported by sustained capital inflows rather than mere speculative trading, strengthening the case for a durable upward trajectory.

Despite the optimistic long-term outlook, Woo cautioned that short-term challenges may arise. Bitcoin’s on-chain Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is currently at +3 standard deviations. 

This implies that the coin’s current price is far above its typical range. When an asset moves this far above its average, it’s considered overextended. 

“It’ll be hard to move upwards with decent momentum due to overextension,” Woo explained. 

According to Woo, this metric indicates that upward momentum may be limited in the near term. Instead, the most likely outcomes are moving sideways or a slow, gradual increase rather than a fast rally.

Previously, BeInCrypto outlined three major signals that strengthen the case for Bitcoin’s recovery. In April, Bitcoin reestablished its inverse relationship with the falling US Dollar Index (DXY) and decoupled from the NASDAQ. 

Meanwhile, long-term investors are actively accumulating coins. Together, these three divergences signal growing market confidence and hint at a potential major Bitcoin rally. In fact, BTC’s recent market performance also reinforces this outlook.

BeInCrypto data showed that the coin’s value has recovered by 7.7% over the past week. At the time of writing, Bitcoin traded at $94,125, representing a minor downtick of 0.07% over the past day.
