The post Ethereum (ETH) Open Interest Signals Rising Volatility Risks! appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The Ethereum price has rebounded at its critical $3,500 support level in the last 24 hours. However, while price action suggests potential for upward movement, the futures market indicator reveals an alarming divergence in market sentiments. The open interest metric has reached a new all-time high. This spike suggests an unprecedented level of speculative activity in Ethereum’s derivatives market. Moreover, this surge in open interest is occurring without a surge in the price of the ETH token. This raises concerns about increased volatility and possible liquidation cascades. Notably, if the Ethereum price faces a sudden downturn or a major crash, the overleveraged positions could trigger a wave of forced liquidations, resulting in a major price plunge.
