TA: Ethereum Consolidates, Why Bulls Could Aim Fresh Rally

Ethereum is consolidating near the $3,000 zone against the US Dollar. ETH price could start a fresh rally if it clears $3,020 and $3,050.

  • Ethereum corrected lower, but it found support near the $2,950 zone.
  • The price is now trading above $2,950 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $3,020 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could start a steady increase if it clears the $3,020 and $3,050 resistance levels in the near term.
Ethereum Price Stuck Below Resistance

Ethereum extended its increase above the $3,000 level. ETH even tested the $3,050 zone before correcting lower, similar to bitcoin.

There was a downside correction below the $3,000 support level. There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $2,782 swing low to $3,050 low. However, downsides were limited below the $2,950 level.

An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $3,020 level. The first major resistance is near the $3,050 level. A break above the $3,050 level could start a steady increase. The next main resistance is still near the $3,150 and $3,165 levels, above which the price might accelerate higher.

Fresh Decline in ETH?

If ethereum fails to continue higher above the $3,020 and $3,050 resistance levels, it could start a fresh downside correction. An initial support on the downside is near the $2,980 level.

The first key support is now forming near the $2,950 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If ether fails to stay above $2,950, there is a risk of a sharp drop. In the stated case, the price might decline towards the $2,800 level.

DeFi isn’t dead, it just needs to fix these 3 critical problems

It’s been a rough year for DeFi, and it may not get any better until projects focus more on security, regulation and usability. The persistent challenges  decentralized finance  face have been well documented by a handful of analysts and the recent collapse of the Terra ecosystem re-enforced the fact that something is critically wrong with DeFi. I think DeFi today is completely broken for 99% of the population. The promise of a more transparent financial system has been overtaken by greed. UST/LUNA is just the latest in a string of bad developments: — Peter Yang (@petergyang) May 11, 2022 Let's take a look at what experts say DeFi needs to do in order to have another revival.  Improved usability To date, the promise of open and uncensored access to a global decentralized financial system has been largely hampered by the complicated interface, confusing multi-step staking processes and lack of clarity surrounding the yields on various tokens.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

National Futures Association adds rules for members handling digital assets

The CFTC-linked self-regulatory organization (SRO) has disclosure rules for members engaging in activities with BTC and ETH; now, standards of conduct are being added. The National Futures Association (NFA), the United States self-regulatory organization for derivatives markets, has issued a new compliance rule addressing members’ conduct. The new rule complements requirements issued in 2018. The NFA has “well over 100” members that engage in activities with digital asset commodities, but no way to address fraud or misconduct committed by those members, the organization explained to secretary of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Christopher Kirkpatrick in a Feb. 28 letter as it submitted the proposed new rule for approval. The new rule is modelled on the NFA’s antifraud rules for exchange traded futures and swaps transaction and retail foreign exchange. The NFA is the only registered self-regulatory organization that has delegated authority from the CFTC, giving it a...
