$ETH open interest is up 2.6% over 7d while price gained 0.93%. Funding sits at 3.7% annualized, with a 2.29 long/short account ratio.

The derivatives build is running ahead of the spot move. That ratio counts accounts, not position size, so it can’t show whether a few large shorts outweigh the long crowd. Still, positioning is leaning hard in one direction right now.
