ETHFI maintains its main downtrend structure despite a weekly 6.57% rise; short-term MACD positive histogram and positioning above EMA20 are testing the 0.51 resistance, but a cautious approach is necessary unless the 0.64 general trend filter is broken.
ETHFI in the Weekly Market Summary
ETHFI traded in the 0.47-0.53 range during the week, stabilizing its current price at the 0.50 level. Despite closing positive with a weekly change of +6.57%, the primary trend is defined as downtrend. Volume profile remains at a moderate level of 21.09 million dollars, while RSI balances in the neutral zone at 50.52. Short-term momentum shows a positive MACD histogram, and the price holds above EMA20 (0.49), giving bullish short-term signals. However, the overall trend filter is bearish, with 0.64 resistance as the main obstacle. Market structure carries signals of transition from accumulation phase to potential distribution; for position traders, selective positioning is recommended until trend integrity is preserved in the big picture.

Trend Structure and Market Phases
Long-Term Trend Analysis
In long-term timeframes (weekly and monthly), ETHFI clearly sustains its downtrend structure. The higher lows-higher highs structure remains intact, with price trapped below the 0.64 trend filter. This level, as the confluence of previous swing highs, is critically important; a break could signal trend reversal. Momentum indicators (RSI weekly in 45-55 band) are away from overbought/oversold, but the MACD line shows negative divergence below the zero line. From a market cycle perspective, there are signs of transition from accumulation phase to early distribution phase by the end of 2025; BTC dominance increase in the macro cycle is pressuring altcoins. From a portfolio manager perspective, long positions are risky as long as downtrend is intact; short-term bounces should be evaluated as tactical opportunities.
Accumulation/Distribution Analysis
Volume profile analysis shows a strong accumulation base in the 0.47-0.50 range (POC level 0.4778, score 64/100). However, emerging distribution patterns in the upper band 0.5096-0.53; weekly candles close with doji-like indecision. According to Wyckoff methodology, we are in the secondary test phase: no bullish confirmation without testing the spring low at 0.4428. Distribution risk is high; decreasing volume carries fakeout potential. Accumulation phase characteristics (low volatility, support hold with increasing volume) are partially present, but not trusted under the general downtrend. Strategically, multi-timeframe support confluence should be awaited for accumulation confirmation.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Daily Chart View
On the daily chart, ETHFI exhibits a bullish short-term trend above EMA20 (0.49); price balanced at 0.50 pivot. Out of 13 strong levels, daily shows confluence with 2 supports (0.4778, 0.4428) and 2 resistances (0.5096, 0.5880). RSI at 50.52 neutral, MACD histogram expanding positively – momentum improvement present. However, lower highs structure carries downtrend continuation risk. For futures market, follow ETHFI futures market data; funding rates neutral, short squeeze potential low.
Weekly Chart View
From a weekly perspective, trading range contraction is observed within the downtrend channel: 6.57% recovery from 0.47 low with weekly close higher. 3 supports (0.4778, 0.4428, 0.2336 downside risk) and 3 resistances (0.5096, 0.5880, 0.64 filter) strong. Supertrend bearish, needs test of channel upper band 0.64. In 3-day timeframe, 1S/3R imbalance limits bullish bias. Confluence: 0.4778 major support across all timeframes, cascade risk on break.
Critical Decision Points
Main supports: 0.4778 (score 64/100, volume POC), 0.4428 (score 60/100, swing low). On break, 0.2336 downside objective (score 22). Resistances: 0.5096 (score 71/100, immediate hurdle), 0.5880 (score 67/100), 0.64 trend filter. Upside target 0.8070 (score 25, measured move). Inflection point: bullish on 0.5096 break, bearish on 0.4778 loss. R/R calculation: Upside from entry 0.50 to 0.8070 is 1:1.25, downside to 0.2336 is 1:1.1 – asymmetric risk downward.

Weekly Strategy Recommendation
In Case of Rise
If 0.5096 and 0.5880 break, long activation: Target 0.64 filter, extension 0.8070. Entry above 0.51, stop below 0.4778. Position size 2-3% risk, trail stop with EMA20. Probability increases with BTC above 67k confluence. Target 1:2+ R/R based on measured move; await momentum confluence (RSI>60, MACD cross).
In Case of Fall
Short below 0.4778: Target 0.4428, extension 0.2336. Entry on 0.4778 test failure, stop above 0.5096. Risk 1-2%, supportive with BTC below 66k. Favorite scenario as long as downtrend intact; distribution confirmation with volume increase.
Bitcoin Correlation
ETHFI shows high correlation with BTC (0.85+); BTC downtrend (66,488$, supports 66,250-64,323) signals caution for altcoins. If BTC doesn’t break 67,755 resistance, ETHFI may miss 0.64 test. Dominance supertrend bearish: if BTC remains weak, ETHFI range-bound or downside bias. Key BTC levels: support loss below 64k cascade risk, resistance hold 69k+ triggers ETHFI upside. Stay in wait for altcoin rotation.
Conclusion: Key Points for Next Week
To watch next week: 0.5096 resistance test and 0.4778 support hold; BTC break below 66k strengthens ETHFI short. Neutral bias unless trend structure breaks, set alerts for confluence breakouts. No macro news flow, pure technical focus.
