Will ETH fly or sink from here?

ETH is at a critical point. A pennant pattern has formed that may lead to a big move.

The mechanics are good; OI has decreased while Funding remains just above 0.010%.

Possibly, we get a move to $2,340, and then reject from there.

TLDR

• Ethereum is forming a pennant pattern, signalling a potential volatile breakout soon.
• The upside target is $2,340, but a break below $2,130 support could send price lower.
• Leverage and funding rates remain relatively healthy for now.

Technical analysis

• Despite the nice move-up we've seen in the last week, ETH remains out of the main uptrend, which is usually not positive for price.
• ETH is now forming a pennant pattern that could bring a volatile move. The upside would be $2,340; the downside would be $2,130. 
• $2,340 is the horizontal resistance.
• $2,130 is the horizontal support.
• The RSI remains positive on all timeframes except the 3D. However, it’s likely got further to go before it gets to concerning levels. 
• We see a break up to $2,340 as possible and then a short-term rejection there. 

Market mechanics

• ETH’s Open Interest is down from $8.47b to $7.82b. This isn’t overheated at all, really, and is in a relatively healthy place.  
• The OI-Weighted Funding Rate has moved similarly to BTC in that it was at 0.01% and is now at 0.013%. This means there is a growing bias to be Long, but this current bias isn’t high enough that Longs are overweight here. Still relatively healthy. 

Cryptonary’s take

ETH has held up at a high level of $2,250. The mechanics remain positive, while price has performed well despite some less positive TA setups. 

We see ETH potentially breaking up to $2,340 before finding that area of resistance and pulling back from there. 

We aren’t looking at any short-term trades, but we will DCA into the $2,130 area if price pulls back to there. We will then add aggressive DCA orders sub $2,000, although we see the price getting there as unlikely.
