It seems right now we are evenly divided between bulls and bears. I'm watching Ethereum put on a few % and meanwhile Grayscale ETH languishes, along with the rest of the market - what are investors assuming in the short term? Bearish price action.
Comparing the last 4 drops in each we had, we started with a swift drop, next followed by a short term recovery but inability to hold support, followed by a lower decline to a prior area of support. This final drop down was then followed by a strong move up, a consolidation and then another strong move up. This could then be our leg up into the 70k range in the next six weeks. I'm just comparing prior price action and not using any fancy calculations - so take this with a grain of salt. However, this does seem to explain why there is such tepid response in the derivatives (and why if the rumors are correct, the initial drop was fueled by derivative selling).
For me, it is prudent to pull off some of my gains here. I am already preparing to lean in with additional position.
