The chart shows a significant weakening of buyer appetite in the derivatives market following Ethereum's recent strong rise. Specifically, the decline of the Binance Taker Buy/Sell Ratio to 0.86 reveals that aggressive sell orders are stronger than buy orders at current price levels.
The ETH price is currently around $2,373, having recently risen to the $2,500 region. However, the sharp drop in the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio to 0.86, well below 1, creates a notable negative divergence. Buying power weakens as the price rises. As the ETH price maintains its high levels, buyer participation in the market decreases. The ratio being below 1 indicates that sales via market orders on Binance are higher than purchases. Therefore, it's difficult to speak of a strong, aggressive buying flow supporting the price during the current phase of the recent rise. In previous periods, a Taker Buy/Sell Ratio approaching or exceeding 1 was associated with a more constructive derivatives market structure in ETH. Conversely, values ​​that remain persistently below 1 indicate increased sellers' control in the short term.
The $2,500 region appears as a critical resistance. Looking at the price movement, we see that ETH rose very quickly from approximately $1,900 to $2,500. However, momentum was lost around $2,500, and the price pulled back below $2,400. Therefore, the $2,500–$2,530 band is becoming an important resistance zone that needs to be overcome again in the short term. In current market assessments, the $2,530 level stands out as a short-term breakout point, while the $2.26–$2.35 region is considered an important support.
If ETH retests the $2,500 region while the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio remains below 1, the likelihood of profit-taking and a correction, rather than a continuation of the uptrend, strengthens.
The $2,300 region has become an important defensive area.
In the current scenario, the $2,300–$2,350 region should be particularly monitored. As long as the price remains above this region, it is premature to consider the current movement as a completely broken trend. However, a break below $2,300 and a simultaneous decline in the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio from 0.86 could indicate that the selling pressure is not just short-term profit-taking and that sellers are gaining more control in the derivatives market. In such a scenario, the $2,200 and lower regions could come back into play.#ETH
In summary, the current chart presents a slightly negative picture for ETH in the short term. Although the price is still at its post-up highs, the buying power supporting these levels has weakened. Current market data also shows significant selling pressure in the ETH derivatives market, supporting this picture. $ETH

The price recently experienced a strong recovery from around $1.00 to $1.50, then retreated to $1.36. The Taker Buy/Sell Ratio being at 0.92 indicates that despite XRP's recent recovery, sellers are still more aggressive than buyers in the Binance derivatives market. The Taker Ratio remaining below 1 while the price is rising suggests that the rise is not yet supported by strong derivatives market demand.
In short, #XRP has risen, but buyers haven't yet completely taken control of the market. This suggests that profit-taking or short-term sellers are still active following the previous rise.
Market capitalization tells the same story. It briefly rose from around $100 billion to nearly $150 billion, then retreated to approximately $140 billion. Therefore, there is also a slight pullback in market capitalization following the price increase. This alone isn't a major problem, as XRP is still well above its previous low. However, the inability to create a new peak after the rise around $1.50 indicates weakening momentum.
XRP is currently around $1.36 and approaching the critical zone of the Ichimoku pattern. The $1.35–$1.40 region becomes a crucial decision point in the short term.
The current pattern suggests a strong rebound has occurred, but buyers haven't fully taken control yet. The 0.92 Taker Buy/Sell Ratio is a key warning sign on the chart. A rise above 1 would strongly confirm XRP's current uptrend. Historically, an increase in the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio has coincided with price recoveries; conversely, sustained selling pressure below 1 has been negative for the price.
In short:
▪️ 1.35–1.40: critical support/decision zone
▪️ 1.40 → 1.50: re-strengthening zone
▪️ Ratio > 1: bullish confirmation
▪️ Below 1.35 + Ratio falling below 0.90: increases the risk of a correction
▪️ 1.20–1.25: potential next support zone
Therefore, according to the chart, the risk of a sideways or slightly downward movement in the short term appears higher. $XRP
