Ethereum has been caught in the throes of an intense multi-week period of consolidation alongside Bitcoin and the aggregated crypto market
Analysts do believe that ETH is coiling up to make a large movement as its open interest begins ballooning
This OI trend is a sign that the next large move that it makes will be magnified
It is possible that this movement will favor sellers due to the strong nature of the resistance that exists just above the crypto’s current price level
Ethereum has been stuck between $230 and $250 for the past several days and weeks, with each attempt to break above or below this region being fleeting.
This price action has largely been driven by that of Bitcoin – which has been consolidating in the mid-$9,000 ever since it broke down from its recent highs of $10,400.
It is important to note that the crypto market does lack direction, and it is possible that it will continue struggling to garner any momentum until BTC makes a big movement.
Ethereum may soon break its pattern of sideways trading, however, as its aggregated open interest has rocketed over the past several days.
These newly opened positions will help fuel the next movement, and analysts believe that it will significantly favor sellers.
Ethereum Consolidates as Open Interest Rockets in Tandem
At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading down just over 5% at its current price of $230.
Yesterday, buyers attempted to spark an uptrend when they sent the cryptocurrency up to highs of over $250.
This bullishness was short-lived, however, as a swift rejection at this price level quickly sent it reeling back down to the $230 region – erasing all of its gains.
This is a sign that the overhead resistance it is currently facing may be insurmountable and could ultimately spark a sharp decline.
One factor to be aware of is that Ethereum’s open interest has been steadily climbing higher in tandem with this consolidation. These positions could mean that the next movement will be rather intense.
Data from analytics platform Coinalyze elucidates this trend, showing that ETH’s OI has grown by hundreds of millions of dollars over the past month.

Here’s Why This Next Movement is Likely to Favor Sellers
The strength of the resistance Ethereum is currently caught beneath has led analysts to believe that the next big movement will favor bears.
One popular pseudonymous trader recently explained that he believes ETH is poised to decline towards $210 in the near-term.
“I initially posted 210-217 is doable. Still is, just entertaining a short term set up for now and I don’t want to downplay upside potential. Levels are clear. I personally like this set up and one way or another it’ll end up below $210,” he explained, referencing some further thoughts on the chart seen below.

Ethereum hasn’t recorded great price movement in 2019, with the altcoin‘s prices going over the $200 mark on several occasions. However, it has not been able to consolidate on these gains.
The cryptocurrency market has been struggling to gain bullish price movement after the massive fall on September 24th, which saw Bitcoin and major altcoins lose their value in double digits. Since then the market has not seen any significant surge in prices, as the wave of market corrections often neutralized the small gains.
The cryptocurrency market has been trying to breakout from the bearish price movement that began on 24 September, a day which saw a majority of the tokens including Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP bleeding by double digits.
Ethereum has extended its upwards momentum after briefly facing a bout of selling pressure yesterday that sent it reeling into the $160 region. Today, however, ETH has surged over 5% and is now nearing the $180 region.
September has been surprisingly exciting for altcoins as many witnessed significant price movement and key resistances were breached in the process. Ethereum is noted to be the top-performing alt at the moment; Litecoin also joined the bandwagon of demonstrating positive growth.
