Ethereum breaks above $3200, and this upward spike isn't simple!
At first glance, market sentiment is boiling—open interest has surged by 12%, and bulls seem to be gaining momentum. But upon deeper analysis, problems emerge. The funding rate, a barometer of the futures market, remains unchanged or even slightly weak. This doesn't feel right 🤔
Have you noticed? The current rally looks like high-leverage players are "building walls"—the price is rising, but the support strength is questionable. The surface appears hot, but beneath it, there's weakness, creating a stark contrast—this is a typical high-leverage-driven market characteristic. The funding environment hasn't caught up, yet the price is being pushed up hard. Is the foundation stable? It's hard to say.
The question is: is this just a prelude to a short-term rally, or are bulls and bears about to start a fierce battle?
History tends to repeat itself. Whenever we see this combination of "strong price action but weak funding," it often signals a shakeout or a deep correction. Sometimes, it's a sign that big institutions are setting a trap.
Brothers and sisters, how do you feel right now? Are the bulls or bears in control of this wave? See you in the comments!

Building walls is a brilliant phrase. I’ve been wondering why it feels so stiff to rise, and the funding rate is so cold that it shouldn’t be like this at all.

It's the same old story, every time they say history repeats itself, and yet I still get trapped.
---
Wow, high-leverage players are dreaming; sooner or later, they’ll get liquidated.
---
It looks like this wave might really be a setup; I need to be careful.
---
Why bother to worry? I’ve already been out of the market and just watching.
---
The funding situation is so weak; no matter how strong the rally, it’s useless. Let’s wait for a shakeout.
---
I don’t know who will win between bulls and bears, but I do know I lost.

This kind of "extreme highs and lows" market is the most dangerous. Better to miss out than chase after a high.

The saying "building walls" is spot on; if the funding rate doesn't move, it's just a smoke screen. I'm choosing to lie low this time.

Funding rate didn't follow, this wave is definitely fake, don't be fooled by the 12% open interest.

The term "building walls" is spot on. The liquidity situation is freezing cold, but prices are still stubbornly holding up. Isn't this just waiting to cut the leeks?

Funding rates do not follow the price, which is outrageous. It feels like the big players are manipulating the price to push it higher and then sell off.

The term "building walls" is brilliant; it feels like institutions are now testing the market depth.

Funding rate remains unchanged, this surge is just fake, those who bought at high prices will be crying again.
