Ethereum Price Stuck in Fragile Zone Amid Fundamentals-Speculation Tussle

Ethereum's price continues to be influenced by a complex interplay of fundamental and speculative forces in the market.

The asset has struggled to reclaim the $2,150 resistance level, despite Bitcoin trading above $78,000 and stocks experiencing a rally. This divergence is notable, as Ethereum often follows broader risk-on conditions when liquidity improves.

CryptoQuant data reveals that spot demand and fund flows have weakened, while Binance open interest has surpassed its 30-day average, indicating increased trader activity.
