Ethereum futures long bets grow, possible sign of market recovery
Ethereum remains near its 2026 low range, while leveraged long positions in the futures market are increasing. Cointelegraph reported that Binance’s ether futures open interest hit a record 3.7 million ETH, with the exchange accounting for more than 44 percent of the overall futures market. Taker buy-sell ratios have moved closer to balance across Binance and exchanges overall, but indicators also point to overheating and concentrated positioning across venues.

480,000 ether leaves exchanges, market focus shifts to $1,500
Ether futures open interest fell 25 percent over the past month, bringing $1,500 into focus as a key support level. Exchange-held ether also dropped by about 480,000 ETH in recent days, suggesting leverage is being reduced while spot supply tightens. Analysts pointed to sharp declines in open interest at Gate.io and a similar move at Bybit, while Binance held steadier even as funding rates turned negative.

Bitcoin bullish pattern faces bear market strain; first test is holding $74,000
Bitcoin has formed a long-term cup-and-handle pattern on the weekly chart, with a mid- to long-term target of at least $220,000. The scenario depends on holding the $74,000 support area after a neckline retest. Analysts also flag weak trading volume as a headwind, with spot volumes dropping to levels seen in bear markets. Market participants are also watching spot bitcoin ETF fund flows alongside volume and key support.
