The bounce play for ETH that we put out on Monday has played out well. However, it's now likely that price might pull back and retest $2,400 in the coming 2-4 days.

  • ETH's Funding Rate is flat here, indicating there is a more even balance between Longs and Shorts.
  • ETH's Open Interest significantly reset from $17.1b in late May to $9.7b yesterday. This is really healthy and needed resetting.

Technical analysis

  • Having bounced off the horizontal support of $2,150, ETH isn't clearly forming a price formation yet.
  • Price has bounced, having been majorly oversold, at 20 on the RSI, and we were right to call for a more significant bounce for ETH in our last Market Direction update because of this.
  • Price has now hit the RSI-based moving average and has been seemingly rejected for now.
  • Price also lies well below what's likely to be it's next major horizontal resistance of $2,875.
  • If price were to pull back from here, and we think it can, then $2,400 is the area we'd eye to bid again.

Cryptonary's take

So far, the recovery has been good in percent terms, but price still lies well below the levels it was trading at just weeks ago.

Anything under $2,400 is likely to be an area to bid on with the view of buying for a longer-term hold. We expect that over the next week or so, price will remain range-bound between $2,300 and $2,700.

We'd be surprised if price can claim back above $2,875 before Powell speaks at Jackson Hole towards the end of the month.
