Ethereum has reclaimed the $3,150 level after a volatile Sunday session that 
left traders divided on what comes next. Some analysts warn that ETH’s recent 
bounce is nothing more than a temporary pause before the downtrend resumes, 
while others see signs of a potential bullish reversal forming at current 
levels. Related Reading: Bitcoin Must Break $97K To Restore Confidence Among 
Youngest Long-Term Holders – Details Fresh data from Binance reveals that 
Ethereum is now entering a delicate phase. Price momentum has clearly 
weakened, yet open interest remains relatively high despite the decline from 
the $3,900 region. This disconnect highlights a major shift in futures market 
behavior: traders are holding positions, but not aggressively increasing them. 
The 30-day open interest Z-Score currently sits at 0.50, indicating that OI is 
just slightly above its 30-day average—well within normal volatility bands. 
Unlike previous corrections, where open interest surged during heavy selling, 
the current reading suggests neither extreme leverage buildup nor panic-driven 
position closures. This unusual combination—weakening momentum paired with 
stable open interest—underscores a market in transition. Whether Ethereum 
resumes its downtrend or begins carving out a recovery will depend on how 
quickly momentum returns to spot and futures markets in the days ahead. Open 
Interest Stability Signals a Market in Repositioning According to the Arab 
Chain report on CryptoQuant, Ethereum’s $6.61 billion in open interest 
highlights that traders are still holding a substantial share of their 
positions despite the sharp decline from $3,900 to below $3,200. This 
divergence—falling price but steady OI—is characteristic of market 
repositioning phases, where traders reduce activity without fully exiting the 
market. The supporting metrics reinforce this view: the OI avg30 sits at $6.44 
billion, and the OI std30 at $329 million, indicating that current 
fluctuations remain well within normal volatility ranges. There is no sign of 
aggressive position buildup or liquidation pressure. With the Z-Score at 0.50, 
the modest rise in open interest does not suggest overwhelming bearish 
leverage. Instead, it shows that traders are still engaging with the market 
and selectively building new positions as price declines. This level of 
participation is important: it signals that the derivatives market is active 
but not overheated. Ethereum’s price weakness, driven by fading momentum after 
failing to sustain its previous highs, leaves the market at an inflection 
point. If large traders are predominantly short, stable OI could support the 
continuation of downward pressure. However, if long positions dominate, this 
same stability may lay the groundwork for a rebound once momentum returns.

Control Ethereum is attempting to stabilize above the $3,150–$3,160 zone after 
a volatile multi-week decline. The chart shows ETH rebounding from a local low 
near $2,750, forming a short-term rising structure. However, momentum remains 
fragile. The 50-day SMA continues to slope downward and sits well above 
current price action, reinforcing the broader downtrend. Until ETH can break 
and close above this moving average, upside attempts will likely face 
resistance. The 100-day SMA is also declining, converging with the 
$3,350–$3,400 region—an area that could act as the next major ceiling for any 
bullish continuation. Meanwhile, the 200-day SMA remains flat but sits just 
above price, creating an additional barrier around $3,250–$3,300. This cluster 
of resistance levels confirms that Ethereum is still operating within a 
corrective structure despite the recent bounce. Related Reading: XRP On-Chain

noticeably compared to the heavy sell-side spikes seen in November. This 
suggests that the rebound may be driven more by diminishing selling pressure 
than strong spot demand. If volume remains weak, ETH may struggle to build 
enough momentum for a sustained recovery. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart
