ETHEREUM PRICE ANALYSIS: ETH SHOWS STRENGTH, IS $200 IN SIGHT?

Ethereum has seen a promising increase of 4.35% this week which allowed it to reach $183. This recent increase is largely attributed to the solid rebound that Ethereum has been experiencing against BTC. Over the past 4 days, ETH has surged by 10%, reaching the current price at 0.0176 BTC. If the cryptocurrency can continue to increase against Bitcoin, we may see ETH slowly grinding higher above $200.

Ethereum remains the second-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $19.58 billion.

Looking at the ETH/USD 1-day chart:

· Since our previous ETH/USD analysis, ETH started to climb back slowly above the $170 level. The cryptocurrency has recently reached the resistance at $185 but has stalled ever since.
· From above: The nearest level of resistance lies directly at $185. Above this, higher resistance is found at the previous rising support trend line and then at $194. If the buyers can continue to push the price further, resistance can be expected at $200, $202, $210, and $213. The resistance between $210 and $213 is bolstered by both the 100-days EMA and 200-days EMA.
· From below: The nearest level of support lies at $171. Beneath this, support can be found at $165, $160, $158, $152, and $148.52.
· The trading volume is steady but showing signs that it may increase.
· The RSI has recently penetrated above the 50 level after staying below it for most of August. If it can continue to climb higher, we should see ETH making its way above $200.

Looking at the ETH/BTC 1-day chart:

· Ethereum has shown very promising sings against Bitcoin after jumping off the support around 0.0165 BTC. ETH has risen by 10% since then and has recently met the resistance at 0.0176 BTC.

If the buyers continue to drive the price higher, resistance can be expected at 0.021 BTC, 0.02190 BTC (100-days EMA), 0.02230 BTC, 0.0024 BTC, and 0.0025 BTC.
· From below: The nearest level of support lies at 0.01720 BTC. Beneath this, support is found at 0.017 BTC, 0.01642 BTC, 0.016 BTC, 0.01576 BTC, and 0.01534 BTC.
· The trading volume remains low but has seen some surge over the past few days.
· The RSI has also managed to break above the 50 level for the first time since late May. If it can continue to climb higher, we should see ETH making its way toward 0.002 BTC.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits All-Time High: Here’s How It Works And How It Affects The Price

Bitcoin intelligence, data, and analytics firm Glassnode found the Bitcoin hash rate hit a new all-time high over the weekend, ten days before the Bitcoin halving event. In other words, miners are putting more computational power into maintaining the Bitcoin network. Because miners must venture electricity and capital intensive computer processors to mine Bitcoin, the increase in hash rate is a bullish sign. It means miners are after the Bitcoin rewards they get from maintaining the network. And they’re venturing the resources to go after those rewards. Is The Bitcoin Hash Rate Correlated With The Price? In general, the Bitcoin price and the hash rate are not correlated. The price is what buyers and sellers agree to pay for one Bitcoin, and there are many factors – external and internal – affecting the price. However, there is a relation between the two. While the price goes up, it’s more profitable to mine, which likely to cause more miners to turn on their mining equ...

The State Of Illinois Legalizes Blockchain-Based Smart Contracts

The US State of Illinois made a massive step towards further blockchain adoption. According to the Blockchain Technology Act, which took effect on January 1st, blockchain-based smart contracts satisfy the law under certain circumstances. Smart Contracts Admissible In Court One of the biggest challenges in front of regulators when it comes to crafting legislation for the cryptocurrency field is definitions. The SEC, for instance, has been struggling for quite some time before stating that Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) are not considered securities, while other digital assets launched in Initial Coin Offerings, for instance, pertain to that definition. The State of Illinois, however, has made a serious step towards regulating blockchain-based technologies with the Blockchain Technology Act . The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Keith Wheeler, took effect on January 1st, 2020, and one of the first things that it addresses is the very definition for blockchain itself. “Blockcha...

Bitcoin Opens 2020 With Untypical Stability: Tuesday’s Crypto Market Watch

Bitcoin marked the end of 2019 at around $7,150, which is a notable increase of over 90% since January 1st. Looking at the price on a smaller time frame, BTC has decreased by 1% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $7,190. Just yesterday, the largest cryptocurrency attempted to break the $7,400 resistance but to no avail. Part of the reason could be related to the CME price gap at around $7,300, and as it often happens, it was filled in less than 24 hours. If BTC is to increase, it has to break the $7,400 resistance line and $7,700 would follow next. However, if bears take charge, the most notable support lies at $7,000, followed by $6,800 and $6,500. Most altcoins are recording similar price movements of around 1% up or down within the last 24 hours, keeping Bitcoin’s dominance over the entire market at above 68%. Ethereum is at $131; Ripple ranges for several days at around $0,193, and Binance Coin – $13.78. Bitcoin SV is close to $100, recording the m...
