Highlights

Sell Signs Flash as Ethereum Price Rally Stalls Below $3,000

At press time, Ethereum trades at $2,638 and is up 3.10% today. Due to the recent uptick, the market cap of ETH hovers around $318 billion.

Sell Signal 1: Bearish Divergence Hints $2,000 Retest Likely

On the daily chart, Ethereum’s price has been trading between $2,323 and $2,738 with signs of bullish exhaustion. While ETH produced almost equal highs in the past two weeks, the momentum indicators like RSI and AO produced lower highs. This non-conformity is termed bearish divergence and hints ETH price is due for a short-term pullback.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has recently dropped below the overbought zone. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) indicator is approaching the mean level with declining red histogram bars, noting a decline in momentum, similar to the RSI.

The chances of reversal are also high, considering that Ethereum’s price also tagged the February 22 supply zone, extending from roughly $2,800 to $2,600. In trading terminology, a supply zone refers to an area where a significant spike in sell orders has previously led to a steep correction. A retest of this area often leads to a sharp rejection if the buying pressure is weak.

The key levels to watch if Ethereum price begins its correction here include the weekly bullish breaker, extending from $1,800 to $2,100. A revisit of this level is likely considering the aforementioned bearish divergence.

Sell Signal 2: Open Interest Climbs $1.36B, Signals High Leverage

With $3,000 just 13% rally away, the Open Interest (OI) for Ethereum has increased by $1.36 billion in nine hours or less. While OI denotes investor interest, a large spike like the one seen in the past nine hours is a clear sign of leverage. This uptick in OI shows increased leverage in the system.

Typically, when leverage is ramped up at such a rate, markets often tend to reverse to cull eager participants. Hence, the second sell signal also indicates that a drop in Ethereum price is highly likely.

Sell Signal 3: Profit-taking Likely to Trigger Correction

Santiment’s 30-day MVRV Ratio (Market Value to Realized Value) reads 24%, which is the average unrealized profit of ETH investors who purchased a month ago. Typically, spikes into the 10% to 20% ‘danger zone’ territory often lead to reversals as these investors book profits.

ETH 30-day MVRV Ration Signals Correction

To conclude, the short-term profit-taking potential, coupled with a significant increase in Open Interest, suggests an overextended and overleveraged move for Ethereum price. These two indicators lend credence to the bearish divergence noted on the daily chart, which hints at a correction to the next key support level of $2,000.
