Abstract generation in progress

January 2nd, CryptoOnchain posted data on social media indicating a large-scale influx of funds into Ethereum on CEXs, with net inflows soaring to 24,500 ETH, the highest since July. Such a significant net inflow typically suggests more ETH is entering trading platforms, often a precursor to selling pressure. This phenomenon may reflect whales preparing to sell or traders adjusting positions for derivatives hedging. Currently, ETH is consolidating around $2,980, and increased supply on trading platforms could limit short-term upside potential. Historically, similar surges in capital inflows have often been accompanied by higher volatility or downward trends. Overall, the current pattern remains short-term bearish, and holding long positions requires caution.
