OI has increased to new highs whilst Funding is at 0.024% - Longs are overweight and may be vulnerable to a flushing out.

TLDR

  • ETH broke out from a pennant pattern, reaching the $2,340 horizontal resistance as predicted.
  • Open Interest (OI) has surged to new highs, and Funding is at 0.024%, suggesting that long positions are overweight and may be susceptible to a flush out.
  • ETH reclaimed its main uptrend and battles to stay above $2,340, which is now a potential support. RSI is overbought, and a breakdown could find support at $2,120.
  • ETH's Open Interest hits new local highs at $8.47b, and the OI-Weighted Funding Rate is at 0.023%, indicating a market bias towards Long positions.

Technical analysis

  • ETH formed a pennant pattern yesterday and broke to the upside, testing the $2,340 horizontal resistance as expected. 
  • ETH has also reclaimed its main uptrend, which is bullish for price again. 
  • Price is now battling to stay above the horizontal resistance of $2,340 (now potentially flipped into new support) and the uptrend line. 
  • If ETH sees a more meaningful breakdown, we expect the $2,120 area to hold as new support.
  • The RSI is now in overbought territory on all major timeframes. 
  • We would look to DCA into ETH if there is a retest of $2,120. 

Market mechanics

  • ETH’s Open Interest has popped back to new local highs of $8.47b.
  • The OI-Weighted Funding Rate has also increased to 0.023%, indicating a bias in the market to be Long, with Longs willing to pay a relatively sizeable premium to Shorts to be Long. 

Cryptonary’s take

We expected ETH to move up into a new range of $2,340 to $2,640, which we believe we’re now seeing. However, in the short term, ETH will need to hold above $2,340 to establish this area as new support to continue higher. However, Funding is quite positive and indicates that Longs are somewhat vulnerable to a flush.

We continue to hold our ETH positions, and we’re looking to DCA further into ETH if there is a move down to $2,120.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
