After breaking down from a local distribution range, ETH has been sliding, with lower highs and lows forming consistently. Despite short-term oversold signals, buyers are still hesitant, and open interest shows a cooling derivatives market with little fresh leverage entering.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"technical-analysis\">Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>By Shayan<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-daily-chart\">The Daily Chart<\/h3>\n<p>On the daily timeframe, ETH is trading just above the $3,000 support zone after breaking down from the key $3,500 supply zone. The price is still well below both the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which confirms the bearish bias for now.<\/p>\n<p>Momentum has slowed, and RSI sits at 32, hovering around oversold territory. If buyers fail to hold this current support, the next major level sits around $2,600, followed by the $2,100 major low. On the flip side, reclaiming the $3,500 level would be the first sign of strength, but that would need significant volume to back it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ETH-Daily-3-scaled.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-4-hour-chart\">The 4-Hour Chart<\/h3>\n<p>On the 4-hour chart, ETH remains inside a falling wedge pattern, a structure that typically signals a potential reversal, but so far, there\u2019s no confirmed breakout. The asset is testing the lower trendline of this wedge and trying to hold above the $3,000 zone.<\/p>\n<p>RSI shows a slight bullish divergence, which may result in a short-term relief bounce. But unless a clean breakout above the $3,200 highs occurs with volume, any move could be a fakeout. Overall, the lower highs and lower lows suggest bearish control remains unless proven otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ETH-4H-6-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1420815\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=2560\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=2560 2560w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=300,h=158 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=1024,h=538 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=768,h=404 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=1536,h=807 1536w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=2048,h=1076 2048w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=90,h=47 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=150,h=79 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=2000,h=1051 2000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=1600,h=841 1600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=1400,h=736 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=1200,h=631 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=1000,h=525 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=900,h=473 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=800,h=420 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=700,h=368 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=600,h=315 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=500,h=263 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=400,h=210 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=200,h=105 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/b1ccf6ac-80c7-4746-9c45-f8baff733a00\/w=100,h=53 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"on-chain-analysis\">On-Chain Analysis<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"open-interest\">Open Interest<\/h3>\n<p>Open interest has dropped significantly since early November, showing a reduction in leverage across Ethereum markets. From over $30B, it has now come down closer to $18B, aligning with the recent price drop.<\/p>\n<p>This drop indicates traders are de-risking, closing positions, or getting liquidated. That often comes before a volatility spike, which could either be a recovery bounce or a continuation sell-off.
