Ethereum · 2026-07-20
That day's view: ETH opened on July 20 at $1,872.24 and closed at $1,904.77, with an intraday high of $1,918.16 and a low of $1,843.14, a 24-hour change of +1.74%. Volume of 271,196 ETH (approximately $510 million) rose 1.74% day-on-day — price and volume moved in sync but expansion stayed limited. Average perpetual funding was +0.00252%, with no flip observed. OI moved +0.56% to 2,304,500 ETH; the price-up + OI-up pattern is consistent with healthy position-building but expansion is limited, tagged (a). FGI sat at 29, still in fear — ETH relative strength has not yet received sentiment confirmation. Watch the $1,918.16 resistance and $1,843.14 support. A clean breakout above resistance on rising volume would extend the trend; a break below support would weaken the rebound structure.
