Ethereum dips alongside Bitcoin, but the bull flag remains intact

Ethereum has retreated slightly from its push higher, tracking Bitcoin's move lower over the past day.

However, ETH remains in an intact bull flag formation and looks healthier than BTC in terms of leverage levels and funding rates. While the $2,120 area acts as tough resistance, a break above would open a move to $2,340. 

Ethereum seems rangebound but continues to hold a promising technical setup that could allow it to outperform Bitcoin if the broader market stabilises.

TLDR

  • ETH pulled back slightly, but it is holding key support around $2,000.
  • Despite the pullback, ETH looks healthier than BTC regarding leverage/funding.
  • And while currently rangebound, its bull flag formation is still intact.
  • We are in a good area to accumulate ETH if the market holds.

Macro analysis

The macro context follows through to all other assets that essentially trade with a high correlation to other risk assets. 

Technical analysis

ETH has been brought down slightly by the general market moving lower. The $2,120 level is the key horizontal resistance for price to break above. If this happens, we will likely see a move to $2,340 in the short term. 

However, with BTC pulling back slightly, ETH hasn’t been immune. Local levels to the downside for ETH are the $2,000 to $2,020 area of support (green box in the chart); then, beneath that, the key level is $1,933. If $1,933 is reached, we will be DCA buyers of ETH there. 

We are tracking ETH in a bull flag, so if the market can hold up, we believe ETH is technically set up to outperform. 

On the RSI front, this is healthier than most. The daily and 3D timeframes are overbought, but they’re resetting, which is consolidatory and should be seen as positive for the market.

Market mechanics

Mechanics-wise, ETH is similar to BTC but slightly better. We’re seeing the funding rate back to much healthier levels at 0.0120%, having been at 0.0530% just a few days ago. The open interest is still high, but it’s not at an overheated level that should worry us.

The above shows us that shorts have come in more in the past 24 hours, bringing longs and shorts into a healthier balance. There may be a slight flush out in leverage soon. However, the current level of open interest shouldn’t be enough to concern us reasonably. 

Cryptonary’s take

As it has been for the past week, ETH is in a healthier position compared to BTC.

If the market can hold up, ETH is the play that looks like it could get a more meaningful upside in the short term.

If the market can’t hold up, we would be DCA buyers with a long-term view sub $2,000, and we would be aggressive DCA buyers for the long-term between $1,850 and $1,933.

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.
