The Hourly View for ETH
Last Updated October 15, 2020, 01:036 GMT
Currently, ETH’s price is down $-0.35 (-0.09%) from the hour prior. This is the 2nd straight hour ETH has seen its price head down. As for the trend on the hourly timeframe, we see the clearest trend on the 50 hour timeframe. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

Ethereum Technical Analysis
The first thing we should note is that Ethereum is now close to its 50 day moving averages, which may act as price barrier for the asset. Trend traders will want to observe that the strongest trend appears on the 14 day horizon; over that time period, price has been moving up. Also of note is that on a 30 day basis price appears to be forming a base — which could the stage for it being a support/resistance level going forward. For another vantage point, consider that Ethereum’s price has gone up 7 of the previous 10 trading days.

Investors are currently buying #Apple valued at 2.1 trillion, and yields only 0.68% dividend. Yet some think that investors won’t buy #Ethereum which could yield 5% and only has a market cap of 43 billion! $eth will go insane over the next few years.

Camila Russo: Ethereum Is Building the Internet of Value – CoinDesk
The internet is at the cusp of entering a new phase, one where entrenched rulers are dethroned, more power is reclaimed by individuals and value moves as freely as cat GIFs. To understand why we need a better internet in the first place, consider this question: Isn’t it weird the internet isn’t good at money?…The applications we use every day to search, to communicate, even to shop; the companies that dominate the web are very bad at dealing with money, even if they’re very good at making it….Value – that is, money, assets, securities, property – is as native to internet apps as cat videos….Money moves faster, cheaper and globally – just like the rest of the internet does. And this network isn’t only good at transferring value….The base layer itself, the Ethereum blockchain, is owned by a community of millions who can’t unilaterally change rules, ban or censor apps or individuals. The fact that the code is open makes it harder for companies to build monopolies….Maybe it’s the Ethereum platform that brings this new internet to the masses, or maybe it’s another network like it. But there’s no question the internet of value is coming to shake up traditional finance and the current web, for the simple reason that it’s many times better.
