Ethereum has shown bullish traction, surpassing the $2,600 level as demand rises, attributed to its Open Interest in the derivatives market.
The Ethereum Open Interest has hit a new peak of 7.18 million ETH in futures, valued at $19.1 billion, signaling increased speculative activity and investor engagement.
Crypto expert Poseidon notes that the surge in Open Interest is driven by an increase in short positions as investors hedge against volatility, despite holding long positions in other altcoins.
ETH has outperformed Bitcoin in Q2 as it records a growth of approximately 40%, indicating strong resilience and momentum, fueling speculations of a potential move towards key resistance levels and new all-time highs.
