  • Interestingly, ETH's Open Interest increased over the past few days as prices declined, and the Funding Rate remained positive.
  • This suggests that the selling came from Spot rather than Perps, and more leverage went on as the price declined, likely new Longs.

Technical analysis

  • ETH was rejected from the $2,700 and was not able to hold above the local horizontal support of $2,557.
  • Price has since fallen in to the $2,400's although it is still holding above it's local uptrend line.
  • The $2,420 line could be considered local support.
  • On this price pullback, the RSI has meaningfully reset, which is positive.
  • Price is slowly moving closer to the main downtrend line, although it does now have the horizontal level of $2,557 above the current price which may act as a resistance in the short-term.

Cryptonary's take

It's possible that ETH remains subdued and just range-bound at this lower range between $2,400 and $2,557, although we wouldn't rule out a deviation in to the $2,300's before potentially a quick recovery back to the upside. We still believe that the ETH lows were most likely in the back when we saw the $2,105 print in early August.
