Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is signaling a potential price recovery based on recent data from its perpetual futures market. According to a CryptoQuant analyst named Shayan, Ethereum’s futures market has noticed a notable shift that could indicate an upcoming price surge. The key to this analysis lies in the 30-day moving average of Ethereum’s funding rates, which has started to show a slight bullish trend after a period of decline.

Futures Market Suggests Ethereum’s Price Breakout Is Near The funding rate in perpetual futures contracts is a crucial indicator that helps identify whether market participants are predominantly buying or selling Ethereum. A positive funding rate signals more aggressive buying activity, whereas a negative rate suggests that sellers are in control. Shayan notes that Ethereum’s funding rates have recently experienced an uptick, reflecting an increase in buyer activity, which has coincided with a broader market rebound. This development suggests that the market sentiment toward Ethereum may shift toward a more bullish outlook, potentially setting the stage for further price increases. Shayan noted: Recently, the 30-day moving average of ETH funding rates has shown a slight bullish shift after a prolonged period of decline. This shift has coincided with a broader market rebound and an uptick in Ethereum’s price, suggesting a possible change in market sentiment. Shayan highlights this change as an early indication of a potential price recovery for Ethereum. According to the analyst, for Ethereum to maintain its upward momentum, the funding rates will need to stay in positive territory, reflecting sustained demand in the futures market. However, should funding rates reverse and turn negative again, this could signal a pause or even a reversal in Ethereum’s price growth. Ethereum Market Performance So far, Ethereum has struggled to make any further significant move since it recently reclaimed the $2,600 mark. Although the asset has fallen below this price mark today, ETH has increased by more than 10% in the past week. With its current market performance now trading for $2,589, at the time of writing, it is evident that Ethereum is yet to reflect the bullish momentum suggested by its perpetual market.
