6.13 Saturday ETH Early Morning Thoughts
As of today, Ethereum (ETH) price fluctuates between $1,630 and $1,688, showing an overall rebound but with insufficient momentum. Yesterday, ETH briefly recovered from a low of $1,535, breaking through the $1,600 level and reaching a high of around $1,640.
From a capital perspective, market sentiment is cautious. The Ethereum spot ETF has experienced net outflows for the third consecutive day, with approximately $16 million flowing out on Thursday, and about $41 million and $36 million flowing out on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Meanwhile, the total open interest in futures contracts decreased from $24.4 billion on Monday to the current $22.98 billion, a significant decline from $30.95 billion on June 1, indicating a cooling of risk appetite in the derivatives market. Regarding liquidation data, the total liquidation across the network in the past 24 hours was $338 million, with ETH long positions liquidated at about $36.27 million and short positions at about $35.3 million, showing that the battle between bulls and bears remains intense.
On the technical side, the current price is within a rebound channel but faces resistance at the $1,680–$1,700 zone. The short-term support is at the $1,600 level; if broken, it may test the previous low of $1,550.
Combining the capital and technical aspects, Ethereum is currently in an oversold rebound phase rather than a trend reversal. The continuous ETF outflows and declining open interest suggest that institutional funds have not yet returned. The rebound is mainly driven by short covering and short-term trading, lacking a foundation for sustained upward movement. It is expected to consolidate in the short term, with a main trading range of $1,580–$1,700.
Short-term traders: Consider shorting at the high end of $1,600–$1,620 and buying the dip, with strict stop-loss. The strong resistance zone is at $1,680–$1,700; a light short position can be attempted there. If the price falls below $1,580, consider exiting $BTC and observing.
