Ethereum Technical Analysis

The first thing we should note is that the current price of Ethereum is sitting close to its 20 and 50 day moving averages; moving average crosses often indicate a change in momentum, so this may be worth keeping an eye on. The clearest trend exists on the 90 day timeframe, which shows price moving up over that time. It should be noted, though, that a trend in the opposite direction, going down, exists on the 30 day timeframe. So if you expect the primary trend to resume, the counter trend may be providing an opportunity to buy dips. For additional context, note that price has gone down 17 out of the past 30 days.

    The people who say ā€œthereā€™s no reason for $ETH go up in value, even if Ethereum becomes a global settlement layer and home of DeFiā€ā€¦ā€¦remind me a lot of the people who used to say ā€œthereā€™s no reason for AMZN stock to go up in value, because Amazon doesnā€™t make any money.ā€

  • From CamouflageEth:

  • From ChainLinkGod:

    @iDecentralized Can all $ETH be moved to Bitcoin with minimal disruption to the #Ethereum network supporting #DeFi?Thatā€™s pretty much what youā€™re asking, doesnā€™t make any sense, the only reason all LINK would need to move is if Ethereum failed, in which case there would be no DeFi to support

What Is Ethereum? | Binance Academy

The Ethereum blockchain is similar to Bitcoinā€™s, although the data it stores ā€“ and the way it stores it ā€“ is differentā€¦.The smart contracts that run on Ethereum are triggered by transactions (either from users or other contracts)ā€¦.When a user sends a transaction to a contract, every node on the network runs the contractā€™s code and records the outputā€¦.An Ethereum node can be anything from a simple mobile phone wallet application to a computer that stores an entire copy of the blockchain.Ā  All nodes work as a communication point somehow, but there are different types of nodes on the Ethereum networkā€¦.To interface with the Ethereum network in a way that allows you to validate blockchain data independently, you need to run a full node using software like the ones mentioned above.Ā  The software will download blocks from other nodes and verify if the transactions included are correctā€¦.This means that anyone can run an Ethereum node and strengthen the network by validating transactions and blocks.Ā  Similarly to Bitcoin, there are a number of businesses that offer plug-n-play Ethereum nodes.
