Ethereum is facing significant challenges, with a 110% increase in open interest since August yet a price that remains 20% below its 2024 highs. Analyst Adam describes this as a "curse," highlighting a disconnect between trader enthusiasm and price stagnation, potentially due to selling pressure.He critiques loyal supporters for their unwavering optimism, suggesting that while they may be setting up for future gains, a liquidation event could push prices below $3,000. Other analysts echo this sentiment, predicting a potential dip to $2,700-$2,800 before a rebound, with Ethereum currently trading at $3,082.
