BlockBeats News, August 21st, a BiyaPay analyst pointed out that the recent Ethereum price failed to break through a key resistance level, leading to another round of market downturn. The bearish pressure in this round of the market is mainly driven by large hedge funds, which have been increasing their Ethereum short positions and attempting to trigger stop-losses by pushing down the ETH price. According to The Block's "CME Ether Futures Net Position" data, the current number of Ethereum shorts has reached an unprecedented level, indicating a strong market expectation for further downside in the Ethereum price.

Especially in August, hedge funds' Ethereum short positions nearly doubled, surging from $2.3 billion on August 5th to $4.19 billion. This change indicates that institutional investors continue to bet on the Ethereum price maintaining a downward trend. In the current market environment, the increase in short positions is one of the main factors putting pressure on the Ethereum price.

In the face of this turbulent market situation, the BiyaPay multi-asset trading wallet will continue to provide users with one-stop services such as global remittances, cryptocurrency trading, and U.S. and Hong Kong stock investments, helping investors remain flexible in a complex market.
