Ethereum Price Surpasses $1.4K, Rises 30% This Week Amid “Merge Trade”

2022-7-19 17:40

With Bitcoin’s price rising past the $22k level and breaking its one-month high, Ethereum is also showing significant price hikes, growing by over 10% in the past 24 hours and surpassing $1,470, inching closer to $1.5k, which it might hit this week if the crypto bull market continues.

Ethereum Network Inches Closer to Switching to Proof-of-Stake

ETH price is up over 28% in the past seven days as the network inches closer to switching from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake consensus model.

After successfully integrating the Shadow Fork 9 into its mainnet last week, Ethereum is set to switch the consensus model of its network to proof-of-stake in September, one of the main reasons for ETH’s positive price performance the past week.

Analysts call Ethereum’s recent price hike the “merge trade,” referencing the upcoming Ethereum network merge as a likely culprit for the increase in price, trading volume, and change in the market sentiment of ETH.

Some traders go as far as to predict that Ethereum could overtake Bitcoin in terms of market capitalization in the next few months. For ETH’s valuation to surpass BTC’s, Ethereum’s price must exceed roughly 15% of Bitcoin’s value. For example, if Bitcoin trades at $30k, Ethereum must trade above $4.5k to overtake the largest cryptocurrency. With the recent price action for ETH, such a scenario isn’t out of the question.

Ethereum Price Prediction

The recent Ethereum price rally means the cryptocurrency surpassed its previous one month, rising above $1,200 since it last dropped from the $1,800 level in early June.

With the current price rally, Ethereum could clear the $1,500 level in the next few days, attempting to set new support at the $1,600 – $1,700 levels.

A break past $1,750 will accelerate Ethereum’s price rally as traders will FOMO into the market, attempting to catch the digital asset before it breaches the $2k level.

It’s refreshing to see bullish momentum lasting more than a few days, and Bitcoin and global stock markets managing to secure short-term gains this week looks positive for Ethereum.

Ethereum May Surge 35% to $200 in Near-Term; What Will Fuel It?

Throughout the past month, the price of Ethereum (ETH) increased from $126 to $140, by more than 11 percent against the U. S. dollar. Similar to how several strategists expect the bitcoin price to increase substantially if it breaks the $4,200 resistance level in the near-term, traders foresee Ethereum rising to as high as $200 if it rebounds over crucial levels.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Upward Drift Continues Following Established Macro Support

Since mid-February, the bitcoin market has continued to drift upward toward a band of strong, macro resistance (shown below as a red band). This slow, drift upward marks our fourth test of the resistance zone and, unlike the three prior tests, our rejection of the level has shown a weakness on the side of the bears:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Fourth RejectionIf we compare the three prior rejections (labeled 1, 2 and 3), we see that the move into this resistance level was violent — and had equally violent rejections.

Newsflash: Bitcoin Price Stumbles Below $4,000; No Fret, A Swift Rebound is Coming

In the past several hours, the bitcoin price slipped below the $4,000 mark from $4,035 to $3,934, recording a 1 percent drop against the U. S. dollar. Given the fact that it took nearly three weeks for bitcoin to break out of the $3,000 region and reach $4,000, the sudden drop in the price of bitcoin below the $4,000 level initially led traders to reconsider the near-term price trend of the dominant cryptocurrency.

Ravencoin Price: Demand Is Outstripping RVN Supply

Ravencoin (RVN) doesn’t feature much in crypto coverage. Since it launched last January, the asset tokenization platform has largely stayed on the sidelines. With such a low profile, few noticed Ravencoin becoming one of the best performing digital assets over the past month – although an amusing Redditor, SlappyMcFartsack has dubbed the phenomenon ‘The Flappening’.

Bitcoin Price: Key Technical Indicator Shows BTC Surging to $5,500

Throughout the past three months, the bitcoin price has flirted with the $4,200 resistance level, often struggling to maintain momentum above the key $4,000 mark. Several traders have demonstrated concerns over the extended period of stability demonstrated by bitcoin because, in late 2018, the cryptocurrency recorded a drop of around 50 percent following three months of stagnation in the $6,300 to $6,500 range.

Op Ed: With Bitcoin, Anarchy Is the Point, Not the Problem

Last week, there was a panel at SXSW that was effectively a debate on the merits of permissioned blockchains versus permissionless systems like Bitcoin. I listened to the entire audio of the panel discussion, after Programming Bitcoin author Jimmy Song tweeted it out the other day, and I thought he did an awesome job of pointing out the key value proposition of Bitcoin and why it is not worth comparing to permissioned systems.
