ETH Price in a “Classic Bear Trap” Under $4,000 Says Expert, While Ethereum ETF Flows Turn Negative

The FOMC meeting and Fed rate cut announcement on October 29 turned out to be a “sell-the-news” scenario for the crypto market.

Ethereum ETH $3 795 24h volatility: 5.0% Market cap: $456.81 B Vol. 24h: $41.72 B price has lost the $4,000 support, dropping another 3% in the last 24 hours, in what analysts believe to be a classic bear trap. On the other hand, spot Ethereum ETF flows have turned negative again.

ETH Price Loses $4,000 Support in Bearish Fall

After trying hard to hold the ETH price above $4,000, bulls have once again given up to the bearish pressure as the largest altcoin falls 3% today.

Coinglass data also shows that the ETH futures open interest dropped 2.7% to $46 billion.

Crypto analyst Ted Pillows noted that ETH price has once again fallen below the key $4,000 support level, even after several major macroeconomic developments that were expected to boost market sentiment.

In the last 24 hours, there have been some major macro developments, such as the 25 bps Fed rate cut, the Fed’s decision to end quantitative tightening (QT) and shrink its balance sheet by December 1, and renewed U.S.-China trade talks.

The analyst suggested two possibilities: “Either this is a classic bear trap, or the crypto market is headed significantly lower.”

Although Ethereum has been facing significant volatility recently, another market analyst, IncomeSharks, noted that it must hold above $4,000 to keep the bull momentum intact.

However, according to the chart shared by the analyst, if ETH falls below this level, it could decline toward the lower band near $2,200, as shown below.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
