Ethereum\u2019s bullish structure has started to show early signs of exhaustion as the price retraces from the $4,400 resistance zone. Despite maintaining a strong mid-term uptrend, short-term momentum has weakened after a local bearish divergence and a recent market structure shift.<\/p>\n

The next few days will be key to determining whether this is just a healthy correction or the start of a deeper pullback.<\/p>\n

Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n

By Shayan<\/p>\n

The Daily Chart<\/h3>\n

On the daily timeframe, ETH remains inside a long-term ascending channel but has once again failed to break through the $4,800 resistance area. The asset is now dropping toward the channel\u2019s lower trendline and the 100-day moving average at $4,000.<\/p>\n

The RSI has also cooled to 49, indicating that bullish momentum has faded for now but hasn\u2019t turned bearish yet. As long as the structure holds above $4,000, the broader trend remains intact. However, losing that level could open the door for a deeper move toward $3,400, where the next significant demand zone lies.<\/p>\n

The 4-Hour Chart<\/h3>\n

In the 4-hour view, ETH has confirmed a Market Structure Shift (MSS) after failing to sustain higher highs near $4,800. A clear bearish divergence on RSI supported this move, showing momentum loss before the drop. The price has now entered a short-term corrective phase and could revisit the $4,200\u2013$4,100 zone, which aligns with previous demand.<\/p>\n

For buyers to regain control, ETH needs to reclaim $4,500 and invalidate the recent lower-high formation. Until then, short-term bias remains slightly bearish within the context of the broader bullish channel.<\/p>\n

Sentiment Analysis<\/h2>\n

Open Interest<\/h3>\n

Open interest across all exchanges remains elevated at around $28.5 billion, showing that derivatives traders are still heavily positioned despite the recent pullback. This suggests strong speculative interest, but it also means the market is vulnerable to liquidations if volatility increases.<\/p>\n

If open interest continues to stay high while price trends lower, it could trigger a cascade of forced long liquidations before a proper bottom forms. On the flip side, a gradual cooling of open interest during this correction would signal healthy resetting of leverage, potentially setting the stage for ETH\u2019s next leg higher.<\/p>\n
