Daily Chart

On the daily timeframe, the daily MA100 (marked blue), which has been supporting ETH for the past two weeks, eventually broke down.

The price is currently on top of the horizontal support at $2800, the first critical support level on the daily timeframe. On the other hand, buyer takers continue to retreat (marked red).

If the bulls could defend the support at $2800, ETH would still have to break many important levels on its way up, support which has now turned into resistance levels. From the bearish side, if the bears continue to control the market, the support at $2500 may be retested.

In general, the sellers seem to have the market’s control, and there are no bullish signs on the chart. We have to wait and see when buyers return to the market.

On-chain Analysis: Open Interest

Open Interest is defined as the number of open positions on derivative exchanges, including both long and short positions.
As Open Interest (OI) increases, more liquidity, volatility, and attention are coming into the derivative markets. As Open Interest (OI) decreases, traders are closing futures positions.
In turn, this might trigger the possibility of a long/short-squeeze caused by sudden price movement or vice versa.

As shown in the following chart, the Open interest has increased despite the price decrease, which is unprecedented in recent months and is likely to cause significant volatility in the short term.
