OKX:ETHUSDT.P   ETHUSDT Perpetual Swap Contract
ETH/USDT has exhibited a tight consolidation pattern, oscillating between $2390USDT and $2140USDT since December 23rd. This period of relative stability was disrupted by a recent breakout above the crucial $2390 resistance level. However, the apparent bullish momentum turned out to be a "bull trap" as the price swiftly retracted back into the familiar trading range. A critical factor contributing to this abrupt reversal was the conspicuously low trading volume, clearly indicated by the volume indicator.

This unexpected retreat underscores the significance of evaluating not only price movements but also considering the accompanying volume dynamics for a comprehensive market analysis. The lack of substantial trading activity during the breakout suggests a lack of sustained interest or commitment from market participants, contributing to the bearish reversal.

As the market recalibrates, attention is now turned toward the concept of Fair Value Gaps. These gaps emerged as a consequence of the market imbalance resulting from yesterday's impulsive move. Analysts and traders are closely monitoring these gaps as potential indicators of where the market may seek equilibrium.

In anticipation of a corrective move, traders are particularly interested in the last demand zone situated between $2235 and $2212USDT. This zone is identified as a key area for potential buying opportunities. The rationale behind this strategy is to capitalize on the price retracement to more attractive levels within the established trading range. Investors are, therefore, cautiously eyeing this demand zone, awaiting favorable conditions to initiate buy positions and participate in the anticipated return to stability.
