ETH 15-minute dip of 1.01%: Selling pressure concentrated and released, triggering a short-term net outflow
From 02:00 to 02:15 (UTC) on 2026-04-02, ETH experienced a significant decline. Over 15 minutes, the return was -1.01%. The price fluctuated between 2078.19 and 2100.1 USDT, with an amplitude of 1.04%. Short-term trading was active, market attention increased, and volatility intensified.
The main driver behind this movement was that the sell-side order proportion on a certain trading platform's order book rose to 63%, while buy orders weakened significantly, directly triggering the price decline. At the same time, during this period, capital flowed out net, buy-side support was insufficient, and the concentrated selling pressure led to a sharp short-term decline in ETH.
