Ethereum · 2026-07-11
That day's view: ETH closed 7/11 at $1,785.41 (-0.51%) with intraday range 2.42% (high $1,830.00 / low $1,786.58). Volume 178,703 ETH, down ~6% versus 7/10. Open Interest rose +1.51% over 24h to 2,311,259 ETH, signaling fresh short accumulation. Funding rate held mildly positive at +0.00355% four-period mean (about 0.72x BTC's level). Taker buy/sell ratio 24h mean 0.9419 < 1.0 (sell-side dominant), latest 0.7939 — buy-side returned in the close but failed to drive price rebound. Retail long/short 24h mean 1.6768 strongly bullish-leaning; top-trader L/S mean 1.4080 mildly bullish. Fear & Greed Index 26 sustained fear aligns with the broader crypto pullback. Pattern classification: (c₁). Price pullback combined with rising OI indicates fresh shorts are in control, while funding staying only mildly positive suggests short-squeeze pressure is weak. Major-player intent diverges from BTC (BTC deleveraging vs ETH adding shorts). Key levels: $1,786 support / $1,830 resistance. A break below $1,786 on rising volume would warrant caution. Watch the same macro window as BTC: 7/14 PPI, 7/15 CPI, 7/22 BTC options expiry.
