#ETHTests2500 Ethereum crossed $2,500 before pulling back toward $2,400, bringing its weekly gain close to 30% at one stage. The move was supported by substantial short covering, including more than $1.1 billion in reported onchain ETH liquidations. At the same time, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded roughly $697 million in weekly inflows—their strongest week of 2026. That combination of forced buying and institutional flows helped ETH outperform during the broader crypto rebound. The important question is what happens after the short squeeze finishes. ETF inflows are a constructive signal because they represent direct investment demand, but a rapid price increase can also encourage traders to rebuild excessive leverage. ETH needs to hold its breakout area while funding rates and open interest normalize. Continued ETF buying, stronger spot volume and improving network activity would support the case for a sustainable repricing. If demand fades below $2,500, profit-taking could create a deeper consolidation. The rally is promising, but its durability will depend on real accumulation rather than liquidations alone.
