Ethereum Stuck at $1,870 as Futures Leverage Remains High

Ethereum's price has been stuck at $1,870 for six sessions, and experts warn that if it breaks above or below this level, a sharper move could be in store.

The current resistance near $1,920 is just 3% above the current price, while support near $1,850 remains intact but vulnerable to a break. A close above $1,920 would expose Ethereum's 100-day simple moving average and potentially lead to a move toward the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement at $1,990.

Funding rates are neutral, with neither side paying a substantial premium to keep positions open. However, futures leverage remains high, which could amplify the range break and increase liquidation risk once price moves quickly.
