Ethereum technical analysis today: Will ETH surge to $3,500?

Market mechanics

ETH's Open Interest also increased in the last day from $13.9b to $14.9b; however, it remains well below the late May highs of $17.1b. This suggests that leverage traders are mostly looking elsewhere for trades rather than ETH.

ETH's funding rate is also flat at 0.01%, indicating that the bias amongst traders is mostly long, but there is some short interest.

Expect volatility this week, with both sides likely to have turns at being flushed out/whipsawed.

ETH Open Interest:

Technical analysis

• ETH rejected at the horizontal resistance of $3,485 and the main downtrend line.
• However, price found support at $3,100, swiftly climbing back up and reclaiming the local horizontal support of $3,280.
• Price is now once again retesting the main downtrend line, but it remains below the main horizontal resistance of $3,485.
• ETH is at a key inflection point. A Bitcoin breakout this week could finally help ETH get the major breakout it's been looking for.
• The RSI is in the middle territory, so this doesn't provide any headwinds for price in the short term.

Cryptonary's take

In terms of risk/reward for a trade, ETH perhaps looks better than Bitcoin here simply because its price hasn't increased like that of BTC. However, we do note ETH's general weakness, as it seems to be outperformed by the other majors. However, we do expect that once the Grayscale supply overhang ends, ETH can grind higher.

We wouldn't look to scale into any big Long trades here, but we're happy to sit on our ETH Spot positions, and we expect to substantially increase in value over the coming months. We're just staying patient on ETH here.

If we were looking for a degen play, a potential Long from $3,280 (assuming we get a retest) could be the play. But we'd keep the Stop Loss wide and give the trade room to allow for volatility.
