Ethereum bias flipped 19 times to neutral on September 18, 2026
Ethereum is seeing contrasting flow signals, with BlackRock expanding its Ethereum position by $1.5 billion even as Ether ETFs posted outflows alongside Bitcoin ETFs following Federal Reserve rate-hike-related selling. Headlines also point to whales adding to Ethereum exposure while institutional participation lags, against a broader crypto rebound led by Layer-2 and DeFi tokens as post-Fed nerves fade and U.S. crypto regulation talks continue.
