당일 추세 판단: 신중 강세

당일 관점: ETH closed at $1,913.60 on August 17 (+2.00%), reaching a high of $1,918.71, with volume of 175,727 ETH — roughly 2.56x that of August 16 (+156%), expanding in tandem. OI rose +0.68% (2,363,248 → 2,379,217), with funding at +0.00514%, about 2.51x the August 16 level — both positive in sync, a typical signal of institutions opening new longs + healthy rally. Price up + OI up + volume expansion + funding up = (a) healthy rally, four-dimensional synchronized resonance with solid mechanics. FGI 31 fear zone provides an emotional safety cushion. Watch the $1,900 support (August 16 close of $1,876 as the second line); a break above $1,920 targets $1,960. Pattern divergence highlight: BTC (c) vs ETH (a) OI direction opposite (-4.10% vs +0.68%), main players diverge in intent, ETH rally sustainability is superior to BTC.
