What does the Ethereum Classic data show?
1. Ethereum Classic closed at a 365-day low
Ethereum Classic closed at $6.554, the lowest close in 365 days, clearing the previous trough by 3.42%. A fresh extreme means every holder from that window is now under water — which changes who is likely to sell into the next move.
2. MACD turned bearish
MACD flipped bearish: the fast average of price pulled below the slow one, which is the earliest of the trend signals we track and the noisiest. Market structure is still making lower highs and lower lows. The most recent daily candle pattern is three black crows. RSI (14) is 35.6.
3. Leverage is paying up to stay positioned
Perpetual funding runs at 46.84% annualised, so shorts are paying longs to keep their positions open. Funding is a crowding tax: the more one-sided the book, the more it costs to stay on that side, and the more likely the weakest hands there get squeezed out. Open interest stands at $1.2 M — that is the size of the leveraged book that has to be closed eventually.
