Ethereum Price Prediction: Ether ETF Outflows

Ether is trading at around $2,670 late on Friday evening, October 2, 2026 (according to CoinGecko). That is the lowest daily close since September 20, and it comes in a week in which institutional money is leaving Ether: for three trading days in a row, investors have pulled money out of the US spot Ether ETFs on a net basis, while the Bitcoin funds are gathering cash again. For the Ethereum price prediction that is a warning signal, but not yet a break.

What the ETF Numbers Show

On October 1 the Ether ETFs lost a net $55.4 million, the third daily outflow in a row. Across those three trading days the outflows added up to roughly $118 million, Cointelegraph reports using data from SoSoValue. On the same day the Bitcoin ETFs took in $102.7 million.

The outflows are small set against September. In that month $832 million flowed into the Ether funds, the second-highest monthly figure since August 2025, after $1.85 billion in August, as The Block breaks down. Three weak days do not undo a strong month. They do show, though, that demand from the funds is easing as the fourth quarter begins.

Ethereum Price Prediction: The Levels on the Chart

The third quarter was a strong one for Ether: from June 30 to September 30 the price rose from around $1,570 to $2,685, a gain of 71 percent (daily closing prices, CoinMarketCap). How to read that quarter is set out in our quarterly review of Ethereum. Ether therefore sits well above its 50-day average (around $2,465) and its 200-day average (around $2,315), both calculated from daily closing prices.
