Ethereum is <\/span>retracing today<\/span> as its recent rally fades. Its price has declined by 4% in the last 24 hours. <\/span>Although its trading volume is up by 31.41% at press time, most traders are likely in short positions today. <\/span><\/p>\n Ethereum remains one of the most advanced blockchain networks in crypto, hosting other projects using smart contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n According to a <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> from Whale Alert, 25,264 ETH, with an estimated value of $48 million, moved from an anonymous crypto wallet to Coinbase<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Also, another whale transferred <\/span>30,000 ETH<\/span><\/a> anonymously to the OKEX crypto exchange. These sizeable transfers can influence ETH’s price, with the current drop a likely effect of the whale movement.<\/span><\/p>\n However, there are no certainties in the crypto market, and the asset’s price could also gain based on other factors. <\/span>ETH’s recent rally began on June 30 when it traded at $1,933.19, increasing from its former price of $1,852.23 on June 29.<\/span><\/p>\n It maintained most of its price gains, moving to $1,924.57 on July 1, 2023. ETH traded at the $1900 price level with slight fluctuations until its eventual decline to $1,848 on July 6. <\/span><\/p>\n Currently, it is trading at the $1,859 price level, and its 7-day high is $1,974. The price drop today indicates an increase in sell pressure on ETH tokens. <\/span><\/p>\n ETH is in a downtrend today. Despite forming a green candle on the daily chart, the lower wick of the candle has dropped below its 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), a short-term bearish sentiment.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, its Relative Strength Index (RSI) value is 50.09 in the neutral zone between the overbought region of 70 and the oversold region of 30. <\/span>The RSI points upwards slightly, hinting at a possible recovery despite the bearish sentiment.<\/span><\/p>\n ETH’s Moving Average Convergence\/Divergence (MACD) is below its signal line, confirming today’s prevalent bearish trend.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, a red bar has formed on the MACD’s Histogram bar today due to ETH’s bearish price outlook. <\/span><\/p>\n Although ETH is under bearish pressure, it trades above its 200-day SMA, hinting at a long-term rally.<\/span><\/p>\n ETH is trading above the $1827.4 support level; the bearish pressure in the last few days could likely force a retracement to the $1778.1 support.<\/span><\/p>\n However, the $12827.4 support held the price, and a retest of the $1908.5 resistance level remains possible. <\/span>ETH will likely continue its downtrend in the short term before the bulls rally again for a long-term recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n Several factors could influence the price of a crypto asset. These factors might act independently or combine to affect the asset’s price pattern. Some of these factors are,<\/span><\/p>\n For instance, a whale shorting many tokens could deflate the overall value due to excess circulating supply.<\/span><\/p>\n Ethereum Foundation announced its plans for its <\/span>developer’s conference<\/span><\/a> (Devcon) in 2024. According to the <\/span>blog post<\/span><\/a>, the event will occur in Southeast Asia, engaging regions such as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n The application deadline for the event is October 31, 2023. <\/span>Road to Devcon Grants<\/span><\/a> is available to encourage users to learn and contribute to Ethereum’s ecosystem. <\/span><\/p>\n This event is open to the general public. However, the applicants must be Ethereum-focused and in the Southeast Asian region.<\/span><\/p>\n Such events help attract investors’ attention to Ethereum and eventually boost its price with increased adoption. <\/span><\/p>\n Ethereum developers, on July 3, <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a> the final round of contributions to the KSG summoning ceremony.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>KSG Summoning Ceremony<\/span><\/a> is a community event to improve privacy on the Ethereum protocol. Each contributor creates a secret and computes it to mix with previous contributions.<\/span><\/p>\n The output goes to the next participant, who repeats the process. The secrecy of the process makes it impossible for a hacker to reverse-engineer and discover the initial secrets. <\/span>This community-based approach engages more community members and fosters growth and adoption, likely positively affecting its price. <\/span><\/p>\n Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin <\/span>stated<\/span><\/a> on a Twitter Space that Bitcoin Ordinals confirmed the organic return of the builder culture to the Bitcoin network. <\/span>Buterin <\/span>spoke<\/span><\/a> to Eric Wall and Udi Wertheimer about what Bitcoin developers could learn from their Ethereum counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n He <\/span>praised<\/span><\/a> the Ordinals innovation and the BRC-20 token standard he believes is a rejection of politics in the Bitcoin ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n Eric Wall <\/span>noted<\/span><\/a> that Bitcoin Lightning Network cannot scale for future users and faces challenges with medium-sized transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n Buterin <\/span>suggested<\/span><\/a> that the best approach is to focus on implementing several types of layer-2 solutions. Also, he suggests that Bitcoin developers should look for ways to make the Bitcoin base layer more efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n Ethereum is part of the ordinal trend, with <\/span>Ethscriptions<\/span><\/a> described as a new way of creating and sharing digital artefacts and transactional call data.<\/span><\/p>\n This innovation could potentially boost ETH’s value in the future as more investors adopt the new technology. <\/span><\/p>\n While Ethereum retraces in the market today, an eco-friendly crypto project is rapidly gaining relevance among investors. <\/span><\/p>\nETH Whale Transfers Over 25,000 ETH To Crypto Exchange, Triggering A Potential Dip<\/h2>\n
