The asset is now dropping toward the channel\u2019s lower trendline and the 100-day moving average at $4,000.<\/p>\n<p>The RSI has also cooled to 49, indicating that bullish momentum has faded for now but hasn\u2019t turned bearish yet. As long as the structure holds above $4,000, the broader trend remains intact. However, losing that level could open the door for a deeper move toward $3,400, where the next significant demand zone lies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1415788\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1279\" height=\"689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4.jpg 1279w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-1024x552.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-90x48.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-1200x646.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-1000x539.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-900x485.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-800x431.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-700x377.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-600x323.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-500x269.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-200x108.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-Daily-4-100x54.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1279px) 100vw, 1279px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The 4-Hour Chart<\/h3>\n<p>In the 4-hour view, ETH has confirmed a Market Structure Shift (MSS) after failing to sustain higher highs near $4,800. A clear bearish divergence on RSI supported this move, showing momentum loss before the drop. The price has now entered a short-term corrective phase and could revisit the $4,200\u2013$4,100 zone, which aligns with previous demand.<\/p>\n<p>For buyers to regain control, ETH needs to reclaim $4,500 and invalidate the recent lower-high formation. Until then, short-term bias remains slightly bearish within the context of the broader bullish channel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1415787\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1279\" height=\"689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4.jpg 1279w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-1024x552.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-90x48.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-1200x646.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-1000x539.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-900x485.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-800x431.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-700x377.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-600x323.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-500x269.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-200x108.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ETH-4H-4-100x54.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1279px) 100vw, 1279px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Sentiment Analysis<\/h2>\n<h3>Open Interest<\/h3>\n<p>Open interest across all exchanges remains elevated at around $28.5 billion, showing that derivatives traders are still heavily positioned despite the recent pullback. This suggests strong speculative interest, but it also means the market is vulnerable to liquidations if volatility increases.<\/p>\n<p>If open interest continues to stay high while price trends lower, it could trigger a cascade of forced long liquidations before a proper bottom forms. On the flip side, a gradual cooling of open interest during this correction would signal healthy resetting of leverage, potentially setting the stage for ETH\u2019s next leg higher.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1415789\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-90x51.jpg 90w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-2000x1125.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1400x788.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Ethereum-Open-Interest-All-Exchanges-All-Symbol-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-price-analysis-bullish-momentum-fades-as-eth-is-rejected-at-4-5k\/\">Ethereum Price Analysis: Bullish Momentum Fades as ETH Is Rejected at $4.5K<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum\u2019s bullish structure has started to show early signs of exhaustion as the price retraces from the $4,400 resistance zone.
