Ethereum Open Interest Plunges: Cooling Off Or Cracks Forming?

Ethereum climbed back above $2,000 after a softer-than-expected US CPI

Support Zones And Technical Targets

Glassnode’s on-chain data reveals a significant cost-basis area between $1,880 and $1,900, where about 1.3 million ETH was traded.

The $2,000 mark is acting as a psychological anchor and is reinforced by moving average clusters. A breakout from the recent falling wedge pattern points to an initial measured target near $2,150, a ceiling that would be tested before higher resistance near $2,260 and then $2,500.

Those levels are not certainties; broader market tone and Bitcoin’s direction will influence whether they are reached.
