Ethereum’s sharp rally has stalled at $2,720 as momentum cools and RSI rolls over. Open interest remains elevated, hinting at heavy leverage. A drop to $2,160 remains possible if $2,420 breaks.

  • ETH's Funding Rate is positive but more muted than BTC and SOL's.
  • ETH's Open Interest remains at very elevated levels, meaning that there is a large leverage buildup, although from Funding, we can tell that the positioning is relatively even.
ETH's open interest (by USD value):

Technical analysis

  • ETH's price has fluctuated between the local horizontal resistance at $2,720 and the major horizontal support at $2,420.
  • If price loses the $2,420 level, then the next major support is at $2,160.
  • To the upside, if $2,720 can be overcome, then $3,050 is the next major horizontal resistance.
  • The RSI was in overbought territory, although it has now pulled back slightly. However, the moving average is in overbought territory, and it is now beginning to roll over.

Cryptonary's take

ETH has had a big and quick move up; however, momentum now looks as if it's stalling with the RSI rolling over and price being unable to break out above $2,720. If the price loses

$2,420, then we'd expect a revisit of $2,160. If price revisits $2,160, we'll assess at the time if we add to ETH at those levels. It'll likely depend on how deep of a pullback BTC goes through in this same scenario. For now, though, we're remaining patient, and we're not looking to accumulate any ETH here as we're expecting the price to pull here over the coming 1-2 weeks.

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.
