Взгляд за день: ETH closed 8/23 at $2,463.41 (+1.68%), leading BTC at 1.95x multiple, high beta feature obvious. Pulled back to 2,355.71 intraday before strongly reclaiming 2,400 level, spiked to 2,484.62 intraday high. Volume 378,847 ETH, -21.9% vs 8/22, contraction; but OI rose +0.92% (2,370,649 to 2,392,443), funding still slightly positive +0.01000%. Main force action classified as (b) short-squeeze plus accumulation: contraction but OI up + price leading = main force leveraging BTC rebound to accumulate via pullback, new long positions actively entering. FGI cooled from 71 to 66. Compared to BTC (c) weak rebound, ETH (b) health significantly superior — pattern divergence 13th cumulative case, same-direction price but same-direction volume + reverse-direction OI (BTC down vs ETH up) dual divergence. Key levels: 2,484 resistance above, 2,355 support below, watch ETH/BTC rate recovery to 0.0317 holding.
