Matrixport: After a cumulative pullback of 63% for ETH in this round, it tests the downward channel resistance level, with options gamma hedging being the main reason for the recent rebound

According to independent analyst Markus Thielen, Ethereum has accumulated a decline of about 63% in this cycle, reaching a low of $1837, and the current price is testing the technical resistance level at the upper edge of the downward channel.

The recent price recovery has been primarily driven by options capital flow and the Gamma hedging mechanism, with no significant changes in the fundamentals. Although ETF demand has shown some signs of recovery, derivative positions remain the core factor affecting recent trends. Analysts point out that the financial asset attributes of Ethereum are becoming increasingly apparent, and its price movement has begun to decouple from traditional major asset classes. The traditional risk-on/risk-off framework has limited explanatory power, and the crypto market may be forming a more independent pricing logic, with the position structure and capital flow worthy of continuous tracking.
