TronWeekly reported that 
Ethereum remained under selling pressure near $2,259, with bearish EMA signals on the daily chart and an RSI reading of 40.7. The technical readings portrayed ETH as trading below a stronger momentum regime rather than entering a confirmed bullish trend.
Despite the weak price position, the outlet highlighted renewed inflows into Ethereum ETFs and an increase in futures open interest. It also noted fresh activity from dormant wallets, although the summary did not identify the wallets, quantify the flows or establish their connection to the ETF and derivatives activity.
Live market data showed ETH at $2,228.08, down 8.07% over 24 hours and essentially unchanged over seven days at -0.09%. Its market capitalization stood at $272.26 billion, while the broader crypto market was broadly lower. 
Bitcoin was down 6.04% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed Index stood at 28, within the Fear range.
The immediate context is therefore a sharp but relatively short-lived decline in ETH alongside weakness across the wider market. Traders and observers will have several concurrent signals to monitor: whether the daily EMA configuration and RSI recover, whether ETF inflows and futures open interest continue changing, and whether dormant-wallet activity develops into further market participation. TronWeekly supplied no additional figures for those flows, so their scale and direction beyond the reported observations remain unclear.
Since this brief published about 9 hours ago, Ethereum (ETH) has moved from $2,228.08 to $2,222.79 — -0.24%.
The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₦3.07M (about $2,222.79), down 8.1% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
