Matrixport: Ethereum prices are currently driven mainly by futures positions, and are likely to continue to be under pressure in the future


Matrixport released a daily analysis stating, "Although Bitcoin has attempted to rebound, the likelihood of a sustained breakthrough is not high from a seasonal trend perspective. To maintain technical validity, Bitcoin needs to stand above $105,000. However, the bigger concern lies with Ethereum - as we pointed out in our previous report, leveraged traders have pushed its price higher in the absence of fundamental support.We still believe that Ethereum's price is mainly driven by futures positions, making it more susceptible to downside risks. This position risk also explains the sharp drop in Ethereum over the past few days. With market leverage still at high levels, the possibility of continued price pressure in the future remains high."
