Ethereum · 2026-08-27
Vista del día: ETH closed 8/27 at $2,510.94 (+0.17%), H/L range $2,481.74-$2,566.53, volume 336,914 ETH expanded +12% vs 8/26 same period, funding mildly-positive +0.00484% (far lower than BTC's +0.00688% = 1.42x BTC), OI inversely dropped -2.23% (2,444,951 → 2,390,486). Comprehensive classification (b) short-squeeze + distribution hybrid: price slightly up but OI down + funding far weaker than BTC = main-force intent to distribute, leveraging sentiment rebound to squeeze shorts but unwilling to add long at high. BTC (a) vs ETH (b) pattern divergence #14 cumulative, volume simultaneously expanded but OI direction opposite (BTC +3.00% vs ETH -2.23%). Near-term resistance $2,566 (H), support $2,481 (L) + $2,400 round-number, watch whether $2,566 effectively breaks to confirm reversal or re-tests L for pressure release. Alt-season not following (FGI 71 maintaining ETH lagging BTC is structural signal).
