【When everyone is waiting for a direction】
In the summer of 2019, after ETH surged and tested the $300 level, it suddenly crashed down—this was exactly the same situation. It rose 30%, then suddenly went dead; the order book thinned out, and the market direction was unclear. At the time, most people judged it was a top. I went around the industry supply chain and found the real situation: miners were hoarding, institutions were waiting, and retail traders were unloading. So what happened next? It went sideways for two months, and then broke above the previous high.
Now, this move from the low point has already gained a substantial amount. At the level $ 2688, to be honest, it’s pretty awkward. Resistance above is clearly 2842. Support below is 2589, a psychological level. And the space in between is just a little. In the past 24 hours, it dropped 2.5%, but on the weekly chart it still shows an 11% gain—this is the classic phase of divergence.
What’s interesting is that on Friday, the options near $ 18B are set to expire, and in addition, Kalshi has shown abnormal trading volume around $ 5B. Anyone who has done real business knows that volume anomalies can’t be made by retail traders. Who is behind it, and what are they trying to do—that’s the key. When institutions rebalance and roll contracts into the next month, it’s often precisely around that time when the market turns.
From a technical structure perspective, both bulls and bears are currently “holding their breath.” The bulls are defending 2589 and can’t let it break—if it breaks, the logic behind this rebound changes. The bears are eyeing 2842: if they can’t break through, they’ll likely keep waiting. Who makes the first move? It’ll depend on how those Friday options are handled.
I lean toward the idea that in the short term it will keep churning, but the direction on the weekly timeframe should become clear soon. Whether this level can truly break through isn’t about technical indicators—it’s about whether external liquidity will give it the okay.
Do you think this ETH move is still building strength, or has it already played out?
