Gate News message, April 23 — Ethereum’s perpetual contract market has shown significantly strengthened buying pressure, with cumulative net taker volume on a major CEX reaching $5.5 billion over 24 hours, up 72% from $3.2 billion at the beginning of the month. This marks the highest 30-day average since July 2022, indicating sustained buyer conviction at current price levels.
ETH is currently testing key resistance at $2,400, which has been tested three times since February 6. A successful breakout would expose the $2,475–$2,634 range, where a daily fair value gap (FVG) formed during February’s decline has created a liquidity cluster. Additionally, ETH is attempting to reclaim its 100-day exponential moving average (EMA), while the 200-day EMA is gradually rising toward $2,634, overlapping with the identified liquidity gap.
Derivatives data shows cumulative volume delta (CVD) climbing steadily to approximately $12.6 billion, while funding rates remain neutral. This combination of sustained buyer demand and restrained leverage suggests the $2,475–$2,634 range represents the key liquidity target in the near term.

Aave filed an emergency motion with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking to lift the freeze on 30,766 ETH (about $73 million). Core arguments: the stolen assets remain the property of the original users, and the thief cannot obtain ownership; when the Arbitrum Safe Committee returns funds, the stolen assets would immediately revert to the victims; the evidence related to North Korea’s Lazarus Group is hearsay, and the hearing is expected to be held at the end of May. This case will affect DeFi governance and future risks around asset ownership.
