According to the graph, it is obvious that the open interest of Ethereum has just rose from around $ 1.9 billion and reached the $ 24.5 billion mark. This corresponds to a significant increase of 8.5%.
The jump in the derivative market positions has increased prices for ETH. Generally, a net price action like a gathering draws the attention of the masses, so that speculative activity can note an increase. The extent of the increase in open interest, however, stands out this time.
The price of the cryptocurrency increased by 4% in the last day, which, although certainly not small, is only half of the increase in open interest. This would indicate particularly intense speculation on the market.
Historically, a peak in the indicator is something that has often led to the volatility of Ethereum. The reason behind this is that the new positions mean that the lever effect in the sector increases. This can make mass liquidation events more likely, which tend to be volatilely.
Given the strength of the ascent in the open interest in relation to the price of the assets, it is possible that net action is also ahead for ETH this time.
A large quantity of liquidations linked to the part has already occurred in the last twelve hours, as shown by Coinglass data.
