TLDR

  • ETH is trading just above $2,100, holding a key support level at $2,108
  • US investor sentiment is falling, shown by a deepening negative Coinbase Premium Index
  • ETH spot ETFs have seen seven straight days of outflows, including $62.3 million on Tuesday
  • Futures open interest has recovered roughly 500K ETH since Monday, with funding rates staying positive
  • Key resistance sits at $2,150, with a break above potentially pushing ETH toward $2,250

Ethereum is clinging to a key support level this week as falling US demand and steady ETF outflows put pressure on the price. ETH is trading just above $2,100, a level that bulls have been actively defending.

The Coinbase Premium Index, which tracks the price difference between Coinbase and Binance, has slid deeper into negative territory. The index has been trending down since late April and is seen as a measure of US investor interest. A negative reading means US buyers are less active than those on other exchanges.

That weak demand is also showing up in the ETF market. US spot Ethereum ETFs recorded seven straight days of outflows, with $28 million leaving the market on Wednesday alone, according to SoSoValue data. Outflows of this length suggest US institutional interest has cooled.

ETH Price Faces Resistance at $2,150

On the technical side, ETH is trading below its 20-, 50-, and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which are clustered between $2,234 and $2,328. That cluster acts as an overhead supply zone, making it harder for price to push higher.

The RSI sits near 37, which is approaching oversold levels. While the trend is still bearish, the Stochastic Oscillator suggests downside momentum could start to slow.

Crypto analyst Ted Pillows noted on X that ETH is attempting to break above the $2,150 level. According to Ted, a successful reclaim of that zone could push ETH toward $2,250, while a rejection would likely send price back toward $2,000.

The $2,150 level is also near the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the move from $2,198 down to $2,075, making it a closely watched area.

Derivatives Show Mixed Signals

Despite the recent price drop and liquidations over the weekend, ETH funding rates have remained positive. That means traders using leverage are still leaning long, or betting on higher prices.

Futures open interest has recovered around 500K ETH since Monday. Over the weekend, open interest fell by more than 1 million ETH following a wave of long liquidations. The partial recovery shows some traders are re-entering positions.

If ETH loses the $2,108 support level, the next floors are at $1,909 and $1,741. A break below those could expose $1,524 and $1,405.

To the upside, a move through $2,150 and $2,175 would put $2,200 in play, with $2,250 and $2,265 as the next targets after that.

ETH was last trading below $2,140, beneath the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average on the hourly chart.
