Ethereum · 2026-09-15
That day's view: Yesterday ETH closed at $2398.26, opened at 2515.72, high 2520.00, low 2358.88, down 4.67% for the day, decline significantly larger than BTC, showing a volume-selloff pattern; 24h volume 442,621 ETH, volume expanded nearly 30% YoY, selling pressure concentrated release; funding averaged -0.00302%, officially turned negative, flipping from premium the previous day to discount, longs' willingness to pay weakened, shorts dominating short-term pricing; OI slightly decreased from 2,318,228 to 2,314,780, down 0.15%, positions essentially flat against the backdrop of a sharp price decline, typical of mixed (c) long liquidation and shorts' passive profit-taking, tilting toward longs actively exiting; FGI reported 69, sharing greedy signals with BTC, structural divergence intensifying. Comprehensive judgment: ETH is short-term oversold but weakness remains unchanged, watching whether the 2350 integer level can hold; if broken, look for 2250 previous low, 2480 above is key resistance; event-wise, watch L2 ecosystem capital flows and next week's upgrade progress for potential sentiment recovery.
