當日趨勢判斷: 中性偏空

當日觀點：ETH weakened yesterday, with O 2,457.67 / C 2,416.88 / H 2,534.98 / L 2,387.28 and a 24h change of -1.66%. The intraday range was materially wider than BTC's; price tagged the $2,387 area before recovering back above $2,400. Volume of 268,298 ETH (about $663 million) was up 159.2% from the prior day's 103,524 ETH — a high-volume selloff in textbook short-led fashion. Phase 3 (UTC 12-18) rebounded +1.84% to the $2,534.98 high, then Phase 4 (UTC 18-24) plunged -3.55% in a single phase, with a 6.01% range hitting a recent high — rising realized volatility. Funding held a neutral +0.00312%; OI fell -1.49% on 24h with both longs and shorts deleveraging; taker buy/sell averaged 1.0117, near neutral, while the late-session print at 0.7568 showed sellers returning. FGI stayed at 69 (vs 68 prior) in the greed zone. Composite view: ETH clearly weaker than BTC in the near term; resistance $2,480 – $2,520, support $2,400 – $2,380. Failure to hold $2,400 would expose $2,380. Watch the dense cluster of high-impact US releases this week (ISM / NFP / CPI) for risk-sentiment spillover.
