Ethereum Weekly - Edition 11

Welcome to the latest edition of Ethereum Weekly!

Ethereum (ETH) opened the week virtually unchanged from the previous week, down just a couple of dollars. Crypto investors' eyes remain fixated on two main factors; inflation and regulation. This is especially true within the United States whose interest rates move the needle for Ethereum and just about every other risk asset now seemingly linked almost directly to US stock market moves and the strength of the US dollar.

Crackdowns in the US continue with Kraken exchange's staking services shut down and Paxos being ordered to stop minting BUSD. Next on US regulations radar could be a major player like Coinbase which claims that their staking solutions should not be considered securities. Guess we will find out in court in the not-so-distant future. Ethereum, having moved to a proof-of-stake mechanism, will be watched closely to see how the US aims to classify the asset now.

Moving away from the United States, it looks like China is starting to take a closer look at crypto. Should this huge Asian market open up towards crypto, expect coins like Ethereum to jump on new investment dollars.

Last week, Thursday was the most interesting day with strong producer price index data released and some rather "hawkish" statements from St. Louis Fed President James Bullard. Outside of a small pullback, the markets held strong throughout the day which is a positive sign moving forward for all markets.

Looking at the current price points on the charts, I would peg Ether's resistance level around $1,715 and then $1,950 with the support levels around $1,560 and then around $1,420. Bull's are watching the Ethereum trading volume, which they would like to see high with the price pushing well past the initial resistance level. ETH is looking strong in terms of short-term moving averages indicating these same bulls are currently in charge.

The Crypto Greed and Fear Index highlighted below sits at 61 in the "Greed" range and up 13 points from where it was at last week.

What is Ethereum?

Ethereum (ETH) is a digital cryptocurrency that is known for being a blockchain technology that operates decentralized apps (dapps) such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), stablecoins, lending, and more. First proposed by Vitalik Buterin who published a whitepaper in 2013 and went live as a network in July 2015, Ethereum claims it is not controlled by a centralized authority but that can be questioned. Ethereum went through the "merge" in 2022 moving from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake mechanism becoming much more environmentally friendly.
