What Do 4 Different Futures Market Metrics Say About Ethereum?

Let’s proceed with data-driven insights.

1⃣ Funding Rates

Currently at 0.01 in the positive territory (longs are still at a level that can support the spot market, and there’s no overheating).

2⃣ Taker Buy Sell Ratio

Buying sentiment is dominant in the derivatives market (**0.57**).

3⃣ Open Interest

Increased by 3.18% over the last 24 hours, signaling a slight heating up in the derivatives market in the short term.

4⃣ Liquidation

Significant "short" positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours (**$6 million**), seemingly reducing selling pressure (at least on the derivatives side) in the short term.

✅ Comments

In the simplest terms, selling pressure in the futures market seems to have eased to some extent.

While Open Interest indicates that the market remains relatively warm/hot in the short term, the bulls are slowly stepping onto the stage. This is the situation on the derivatives side.
