Ethereum faces $2,000 test as mid-tier holders exit and whales accumulate

Ethereum has entered a phase of weighing direction around $2,000. It remains under pressure after failing to retake $2,150, while new short positions in futures raise the prospect of a short squeeze. Open interest rose by about 350,000 ETH even as the price held near $2,000, and funding rates stayed positive at 0.0049 percent monthly. On-chain data show declining participation from mid-sized holders but continued accumulation by very large wallets.
