Ethereum Crypto Exchange Flux Balance Goes Negative: Will ETH USD Rally to $10K?

By Akiyama Felix

Until late July, ETH USD was underperforming in the crypto market, raising questions about whether Ethereum crypto will still dominate going forward. Fast forward a few weeks, and Ethereum crypto has become one of the most closely watched networks. There are even solid Ethereum price predictions that the ETH price will soar above August highs and print new all-time highs above $5,000.

According to Coingecko, Ethereum is up +80% year-to-date and nearly +20% in the past month. While upside momentum is slowing, the path of least resistance remains northward. This bullish outlook holds, especially if ETH USD rejects bearish pressure and stabilizes above $4,000.

On Coinglass, trader interest in Ethereum remains strong.

Options open interest also increased by +2.6% in the last 24 hours to over $17.6Bn.
