ETH short | Weakness at range highs, targeting support

Market snapshot

  • Price: 2313.05, showing relative weakness near recent highs.

  • Derivatives: Funding rate +0.0003%/8h; OI $967.982M.

Multi-timeframe signals

  • 15m — RSI 46.6, MACD hist rising: Bearish consolidation with fading momentum.
  • 1h — RSI 45.1, MACD hist 1.09: Momentum weakening, confirming short bias.
  • 4h — RSI 55.0, MACD hist -6.35: Macro trend neutral-bearish, room to drop.

Trading logic

Thesis

  • Price rejected from the 4h Bollinger mid-band resistance.
  • 1h momentum is fading despite recent consolidation.
