Bearish Dominance Eases With Rising Trading Volume on Ethereum

ETH may still be under short-term negative pressure as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently reading 37.54, falls below its signal line and into the oversold zone. As a result, traders can decide to wait to enter an extended position until the RSI rises above its signal line and leaves the oversold area.

On the 4-hour price chart, the stochastic RSI has a reading of 59.74, which is below its signal line. This action indicates that the asset is oversold and may shortly revert bullishly to the upside. If the stochastic RSI passes the signal line on the ETH market, it can indicate a potential trend reversal or shift in momentum.

Ethereum’s price drop and rising trading volume suggest a possible momentum shift, but caution is advised as the market remains oversold. The Fisher Transform line, which has a value of -1.22 and is below the signal line on the 4-hour price chart for the ETH market, indicates that the market is oversold and that a potential buy signal is approaching. The reversal will be apparent if the Fisher transform line crosses the signal line successfully.

By indicating escalating selling pressure, the Money Flow Index (MFI), which has a reading of 18.89 and is trending downward, supports the bearish momentum in ETH. Traders should exercise caution when evaluating long positions if the MFI declines and breaks below the oversold level. This movement may signal the start of a more severe downward trend.

Though still high, costs have been reduced by 35%, alleviating consumer restraints and boosting network use.

After crossing back under $2k last week, #Ethereum‘s network saw its fees explode to their highest level since May, 2022 as traders polarized and figured out whether to buy or sell. Though still relatively high, fees have been discounted by 35% since.
