The global crypto market has been under tremendous pressure to get back on the bull run. Eventually, all the major cryptocurrencies are getting into the recovery stage including Bitcoin and Ethereum among others.
The leading altcoin, Ethereum has even surpassed its crucial resistance level of $1,500, and also its market cap is very close to reaching $200 billion.
When the weekly chart is considered, Ethereum has rallied beyond 40% which is leading the altcoin rally.
On the other end, as per the stats released from the on-chain data provider, Santiment, on the whole, the market sentiment over Ethereum is still negative as the trader’s belief in the currency is comparatively not that strong.

Next, when the Ethereum derivatives are considered, the funding rate is still at the bottom on almost all the exchanges. Talking about the same, Market Analyst Alex Kruger states that the quarterly futures contract is nearly nil and constant. Since $1200, the perp open interest is negative on binance
