  • There was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $1,820 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair must clear the $1,900 and $1,920 resistance levels to continue higher.
Ethereum Price Eyes Upside Break

There was a clear move above the $1,800 resistance zone. Ether price surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $1,910 swing high to $1,700 base. Besides, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $1,820 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $1,900 level. The next major resistance is near the $1,920 level. A proper upside break above the $1,920 resistance might start a decent increase. In the stated case, ether price could rise towards the $2,000 resistance zone. Any more gains may perhaps send it towards the main $2,085 resistance zone.

Fresh Decline in ETH?

If ethereum fails to continue higher above the $1,920 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $1,840 zone.

The next major support is near the $1,820 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A downside break below the $1,820 level might call for another sharp decline. In the stated case, the price could revisit the $1,720 support zone in the near term. The next major support sits near $1,700.

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...

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...

Osprey sues Grayscale for misrepresenting likelihood of GBTC ETF approval

Osprey alleges its only competitor on the BTC OTC trust asset market gained its 99.5% market share by misrepresenting the likelihood of its trust becoming an ETF. Digital asset manager Osprey Funds filed suit against Grayscale Investments in Connecticut Superior Court on Jan. 30, alleging violation of the state’s Unfair Trade Practices Act. The suit concerns Grayscale advertising and promotion of the Bitcoin ( BTC ) exchange-traded fund (ETF) it is seeking to create.  Osprey stated in the suit that it is the only competitor to Grayscale on the over-the-counter traded Bitcoin trust asset management market, and Grayscale maintained its leading position through deceit: “Only because of its false and misleading advertising and promotion has Grayscale been able to maintain to date approximately 99.5% market share in a two-participant market despite charging more than four times the asset management fee that Osprey charges for its services.” Specifically, Osprey alleged that Graysc...
