That day's trend: Neutral leaning bearish

That day's view: ETH 24h closed at $2477.10 (open $2525.92, high $2527.56, low $2462.02), down 1.93%, with 216,471 ETH traded; the decline was significantly larger than BTC, with synchronized volume expansion and more active selling pressure. Funding +0.00276% remains at a low positive rate, with an absolute level about 0.46x that of BTC, indicating leveraged longs have not been aggressively stacked. OI rose from 2,319,328 to 2,326,658 (+0.32%), with a sharp price drop + slight OI increase, judged as (c-mix) short-covering dominated decline, not new short positions adding aggressively. FGI at 61 remains Greed in sync with BTC, with no panic amplification signals. Comprehensive judgment: ETH is short-term weaker than BTC; if key support at 2450-2462 area breaks, it opens space to 2380; primary resistance above at 2525-2530; monitor whether ETH/BTC exchange rate can stabilize and L2/staking ecosystem fund movements.
