ETH maxis scream for $3K, but data shows pro Ether traders cautiously positioned
ETH rallied 13.5% recently but traders remain cautious, with derivatives markets showing limited confidence in a move above \$3,000.
Futures premiums improved slightly but remain near neutral, signaling weak conviction in a sustained rally.
Ethereum’s layer-2 growth and rising TVL haven't boosted ETH demand or price momentum, partly due to lower network fees reducing ETH burn.
DEX volumes are down despite higher TVL, and options markets show balanced sentiment, indicating hesitation among investors.
Recent price gains were driven mainly by ETF inflows and corporate treasury buys, but institutional demand’s sustainability is uncertain.
