Ethereum Loses Ground: Reasons and Impacts of Funding Rate Decline

Ethereum has been struggling to maintain a positive trajectory in recent weeks, exhibiting significant price volatility.

Current State of the Ethereum Market

Recently, Ethereum has shown unstable price movements, losing over 10% in a week. Currently, its price is at $3,232, marking a 10.08% drop on weekly charts, and a further 1.85% dip in the last 24 hours.

Funding Rate Decline and Its Implications

Analysts highlight Ethereum's struggle to make significant progress. Cryptoquant analyst Shayan suggests that maintaining the $3k support level is critical for continued growth. The sharp decline in funding rate, observed after being rejected at the $4k resistance, indicates a decrease in demand and weakens bullish sentiment. Without investor confidence, it becomes challenging to sustain an uptrend. Falling below the $3k level could lead to further declines.

Impact on Ethereum Charts

A sharp decline in the funding rate usually suggests investors are closing their positions. The Relative Vigor Index is also dropping, indicating a strong downward momentum. According to Coinglass, market sentiment is shifting towards short positions, with 52% of traders opting for shorts. The MVRV long-short difference decrease also highlights reduced profitability for long-term holders.

Ethereum faces pressure from falling funding rates and bearish market sentiment. Maintaining the critical support level is necessary to resurrect bullish momentum.
