Ethereum's staking exit queue increased more than fivefold in just three days, reaching a peak of around 851,000 ETH after MetaMask began proactively withdrawing thousands of validators following a security incident.
By John Isige SOL/USD has resumed its decline within a long-term downtrend after an extended consolidation inside the 150.00–125.00 range and is now moving lower along its upper boundary. The price is approaching the 75.00 level (Murray [2/8]), which was unsuccessfully tested a week earlier. A confirmed break below this mark would open the way toward 50.00 (Murray [0/8]) and 25.00 (Murray [-2/8]). For bulls, the key resistance zone lies at 107.40–112.50 (Fibonacci 61.8% retracement, Murray [4/8], middle Bollinger Band). A breakout above this area would signal a stronger upside recovery toward 150.00 (Murray [8/8]) and 175.00 (Murray [+2/8]).
By Sagar Dua The XRP/USD pair remains within a long-term, устойчив downward trend. An attempt at corrective growth at the beginning of the year, when the price tested 2.3437 (Murray level [8/8], 38.2% Fibonacci retracement), proved unsuccessful, after which the instrument resumed active losses. Last week, it reached the November 2024 low at 1.1175, but later managed to recover toward 1.3671 (Murray level [3/8]). A firm break below this level would act as a catalyst for further bearish momentum toward 1.1718 (Murray level [2/8]) and 0.7812 (Murray level [0/8]).
By Andrew Bennett The blockchain entrepreneur is calling for a radical rethink of how artificial intelligence is developed and integrated with crypto technologies, assigning Ethereum a central role in that process.
By John Isige The ETH/USD pair has been under heavy pressure since mid-January and reached April lows near 1,746.00 late last week. Over the weekend, however, it managed to rebound toward the 2,010.00 area. The current recovery appears to be driven by temporary technical factors, as the medium-term fundamental backdrop remains negative for the broader cryptocurrency market.
By John Isige The SOL/USD pair has been losing ground for the third consecutive week amid a broader market downtrend and reached a January 2024 low near 89.20 yesterday.
By John Isige The ETH/USD pair traded for an extended period within a sideways range of 3437.50–2770.00 (Murrey level [3/8], 61.8% Fibonacci retracement), but last week it exited this range after breaking below the lower boundary and resumed movement within a descending channel. Yesterday, the price tested the 2187.50 level (Murrey level [–1/8]) near the June lows. A breakdown below this area would likely open the way toward 1875.00 (Murrey level [–2/8]) and 1481.60 (100.0% Fibonacci retracement). However, if the price manages to consolidate above the 3165.00–3125.00 resistance zone (50.0% Fibonacci retracement, Murrey level [2/8]), an upside breakout from the range could occur, signaling a trend reversal and opening the path for growth toward 3750.00 (Murrey level [4/8]) and 4062.50 (Murrey level [5/8], 23.6% Fibonacci retracement).
By John Isige After the sell-off in Bitcoin and Ethereum, the market is licking its wounds. Meanwhile, ETH whale Tom Lee is sitting on losses of nearly $6 billion.
By John Isige Last week, the ETH/USD pair corrected sharply lower in line with the broader market trend, reaching four-week lows around 2785.00 over the weekend. On Monday, prices recovered part of the previous losses, rising to the 2950.00 area; however, this rebound appears to be driven mainly by technical factors, as the medium-term fundamental backdrop for digital assets remains negative.
By John Isige The SOL/USD pair had been trading within a prolonged downtrend, forming a corresponding descending channel. However, in mid-November, prices entered a sideways range of 150.00–125.00 (Murray level [6/8]), where they remain to this day. This week, the price reached the lower boundary of this range amid declining investor appetite for risk assets, triggered by statements from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the possible annexation of Greenland. A breakdown below the 125.00 level could send the pair toward 107.40 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement, Murray level [1/8]) and 100.00 (Murray level [0/8]). Conversely, if the price consolidates above the middle Bollinger Band at 137.50 (Murray level [6/8]), upward momentum may resume toward the upper boundary of the sideways range at 150.00 and further to 162.50 (Murray level [+2/8], 38.2% Fibonacci retracement).
By Andrew Bennett In a new report, BlackRock outlines potential investment themes for the future. Among the top contenders is Ethereum.
By John Isige SOL/USD. The SOL/USD pair has been posting strong gains since the end of last year and reached three-month highs near 148.60 yesterday. As with other digital assets, the token is currently supported by both geopolitical and monetary factors.
By John Isige Over the past four months, the SOL/USD pair has been steadily losing value, forming a clear descending channel. However, in early January the quotes resumed an upward move in line with the broader market trend, exited this channel by breaking above its upper boundary, and reached the 143.75 level (Murray level [3/8]). Despite this, the price failed to consolidate above it, and over the last two sessions a renewed decline has been observed. At present, the instrument is in a state of uncertainty: a breakout above 143.75 would accelerate the move toward the targets at 162.50 (Murray level [6/8], Fibonacci retracement 38.2%) and 175.00 (Murray level [8/8]). The key level for bears is seen at 125.00 (Murray level [0/8], middle Bollinger Band); a downside breakout there would likely lead to a return into the descending channel and a test of the levels at 107.40 (Fibonacci retracement 61.8%) and 93.75 (Murray level [3/8], W1).
