Ethereum derivatives show mixed signals as bulls hold slight edge amid $30.59B futures exposure.

Ethereum's derivatives market remains active with $30.59 billion in futures open interest, led by Binance. Options traders favor bullish calls, holding 61.75% of positions, though recent put activity signals some caution. Futures positions are contracting slightly, and liquidations have hit more long positions, indicating risk for bulls. Different exchanges show varying 'max pain' price levels for upcoming options expirations, reflecting uncertainty in price direction as traders watch key levels between $2,200 and $2,650.

Ethereum trades at Rp43.383.409 on Pluang, down 1.63% in the last day, showing some price pressure despite bullish options interest. The market sees a strong buy sentiment with 74% of orders on Pluang favoring buying. These figures are current as of Oct 17, 2026 20:21 WIB.
