Binance Funding Rates Signal ETH Surging To $6,800" }, "content": { "rendered": "

Ethereum (ETH) may be nearing the end of its price correction, as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap continues to trade slightly above $4,000, following a strong sell-off last week when it almost crashed to $3,400.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethereum Price Correction May Be Over\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor PelinayPA, Ethereum funding rates on Binance crypto exchange have remained positive, despite being in a narrow range. This shows that long positions on ETH still dominate the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

ETH funding rates <\/span>fluctuating<\/span><\/a> normally on Binance \u2013 despite the digital asset\u2019s recent extraordinary price appreciation \u2013 implies that futures traders are not exhibiting greed or euphoria, typically associated with the mid-phase of a healthy uptrend.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, during the 2021-22 bull cycle, ETH funding rates often surged to 0.1% to 0.2%, aligning with local market tops. At present, these funding rates are hovering around 0.01% to 0.03%, implying that the market has not reached overheated levels just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the absence of negative funding rates confirms a decline in short positioning, and elevated risk appetite among investors. The CryptoQuant analyst added:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The overall trend remains upward. Low funding rates combined with strong price momentum suggest that the correction is likely complete. In the short term, minor profit-taking or sideways consolidation between $3,600\u2013$3,800 would be natural. If funding rates gradually rise above 0.05%, it could signal overcrowded longs and trigger a short term pullback.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The current combination of moderate levels of leverage and gradually rising spot demand hints toward a potential ETH rally, eyeing the $4,500 to $5,000 range in the long term. The price target could be even higher with a favorable derivatives structure and funding dynamics.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, a sharp increase in funding rates could be seen as an early warning of another price pullback for the cryptocurrency. However, ETH\u2019s market structure still supports a potential surge to $6,800 by the end of 2025, the analyst concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n

ETH Ready For New Highs?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Several indicators point toward ETH looking to resume its bullish momentum. For instance, ETH\u2019s Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) trend recently <\/span>hinted<\/span><\/a> toward the digital asset rising to $5,000 in the near term.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, ETH exchange reserves continue to tumble at a rapid pace. Recent exchange data <\/span>shows<\/span><\/a> that ETH reserves on exchanges have hit a multi-year low, raising the possibility of an impending \u201csupply crunch\u201d for the cryptocurrency.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, there are several other factors that may <\/span>fuel<\/span><\/a> another sell-off in ETH, pushing its price again below $4,000. At press time, ETH trades at $4,053, up 0.2% in the past 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n
