Ethereum’s open interest rose to above $8 billion, according to Coinglass data, following a price rise above $2.2K. The last time ETH open interest was noted to be higher than it is now was in November 2022. 
The major open interest data was recorded from Binance, Bybit, and OKX of $2.56 billion, $1.56 billion, and $1.32 billion respectively. As the price soared, traders started taking short positions. 
Additionally, the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/tvl-total-value-locked/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Total Value Locked (TVL)</a> of Ethereum can also be seen rising from $21 billion in October to $32 billion currently. 
Amid these, a lot of whale movement could have been tracked on Ethereum. According to Lookonchain data, in the last six hours, a savvy trader successfully sold 2,850 $ETH (valued at $6.35M) at $2,230, pocketing approximately $457K. 
The trader, expert at Ethereum trading, has executed 25 trades in the past year, achieving success in 20 of them—where the selling price exceeded the buying price. The cumulative profit from these transactions has surpassed $3M.

Looking at the current rally, Ethereum sees a lot of green candles within the previous week. Starting from the Ethereum ETF optimism to Vitalik’s view on overhauling the Ethereum staking model, ETH went through a lot. 
At the press time, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethereum (ETH) price</a> was trading at$2,223.19, reflecting a notable 3% uptick in the last 24 hours and an impressive 10% surge over the past week. The 24-hour trading volume for ETH is a substantial $24.4 billion, underscoring robust market activity. 
Coming to the Greed and Fear Index, the indicator shows a 76-point mark, signaling a prevalent sense of greed among investors. This indicates that the current market sentiment is bullish, suggesting a prevailing appetite for risk. 
However, amid the bull rally, a lot of Ethereum whales have pulled out their stakes, leaving the short position at around $22 million dominating the current long position.
