Resumo

Ripple’s native cryptocurrency XRP is on a roll over the last week.

1.Is Ethereum a good investment?

Ethereum price has dropped by more than 63% in 2022 as demand for the coin evaporated. The coin, which was trading at near $5,000 in November 2021, the coin fell to a low of $885 in June of this year. ETH was trading at $1,330, which was about 35% from the highest level in September, giving it a market cap of more than $162 billion.

2.Post-Merge Profit-Taking Cuts 13% Off Ethereum Ratio Against BTC

We’re in a post-merge world, and the lessons keep arriving. As it turns out, the mythical Merge was a sell-the-news event for Ethereum. Technically, the event was a success and Ethereum kept a 100% uptime as optimistically predicted. Economically, the asset has been bleeding for the whole post-merge season. As a result, Ethereum lost ground against bitcoin, and bitcoin dominance is back up.

5.Whale trade 263000 BTC, ETH selling pressure remained high

Although BTC is very close to a further decline and a new low, the competition for key points is fierce, and BTC still shows a cross star rebound on the daily K line chart. In terms of trading volume, the trading volume in the daily K line chart rebounded again. The trading volume of BTC in the past two weeks was very strong, and there was an opportunity for repeated price shocks above $18000.
