2026-04-04 09:59
According to a post by CryptoQuant analyst Darkfrost on platform X, the Ethereum derivatives market has shown a significant "institutional shift" for the first time since the last bear market. On-chain data indicates that ETH Net Taker Volume has turned positive from a prolonged negative trend, with buy-side pressure currently dominant, amounting to approximately $104 million.
Darkfrost stated that although Ethereum has been under sustained pressure as it approaches new highs, the current dominance of buy orders may help form a more solid market bottom. If this trend continues and the spot market along with ETFs begin to support the upward movement, Ethereum could potentially initiate a new round of bullish market conditions.
