According to Odaily, Ethereum (ETH) is approaching the significant psychological threshold of $3,000, but analysts caution that there may be more downside before a breakthrough. Technical analyst Mikybull noted that the short-term target price for ETH, based on the daily chart's inverse 'head and shoulders' reversal pattern, is $3,000. This pattern is often used by technical analysts as a signal of a bullish price reversal at the end of a downtrend. Other analysts predict that Ethereum could reach its all-time high in the first quarter of 2025. Cryptocurrency trader Daink shared his technical analysis, suggesting that Ethereum's price could reach $4,000 by the end of the year. In his post on October 17, he wrote, 'The all-time high will appear in the first quarter of 2025, but for now, I believe it will reach $4,000.' An anonymous cryptocurrency analyst, Ignas, attributed Ethereum's price weakness to its losing ground in the Layer 1 (L1) blockchain innovation battle.#Ethereum #ETH #crypto #cryptocurrency #priceprediction #bullish #technicalanalysis #layer1 #blockchain #investment

🚀 Federal Reserve Governor Discusses Stablecoins At Vienna Macroeconomics Seminar
#FederalReserve #Stablecoins #DeFi #Cryptocurrency #DigitalCurrency #PaymentSystems #FinancialInnovation #GlobalPayments #RiskManagement #Macroeconomics
According to Odaily, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller shared his views on decentralized finance (DeFi) at the Vienna Macroeconomics Seminar held at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna, Austria. He highlighted that stablecoins represent a significant innovation within the DeFi space. Originating from the cryptocurrency world, stablecoins aim to provide a 'safe' asset with stable value for transactions. Most stablecoins are pegged one-to-one with the US dollar, offering buyers and sellers a decentralized method for conducting transactions using stablecoins as a settlement tool.
Waller noted that since stablecoins are essentially digital currencies, they have the potential to reduce the need for payment intermediaries, thereby lowering global payment costs. However, he cautioned that their security is not guaranteed, citing historical instances of synthetic dollar runs. Stablecoins face the same challenges as any true dollar alternative. If appropriate safeguards can be established to minimize the risk of runs and mitigate other risks, such as their potential use in illegal financing, stablecoins could benefit the payment sector and serve as secure assets on various new trading platforms.#FederalReserve #Stablecoins #DeFi #Cryptocurrency #DigitalCurrency #PaymentSystems #FinancialInnovation #GlobalPayments #RiskManagement #Macroeconomics

🚀 Bitcoin Whales Accumulate Amid Price Surge
#Bitcoin #BTC #Whales #CryptoQuant #Investors #MarketTrends #PriceSurge #FOMO #LongTermHolders #Miners #Accumulation #Bullish #Crypto
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin (BTC) is experiencing significant accumulation by whale wallets as its price approaches the $70,000 mark. This trend mirrors the period from July 2020 to January 2021, when Bitcoin saw a 550% rally. Woominkyu, a verified author on CryptoQuant, noted that this historical pattern has sparked investor excitement about a potential BTC breakout. The current Bitcoin whale ratio on spot exchanges is similar to the ratio observed around July 2020, following the COVID-induced market crash in March.
Woominkyu highlighted that whales are continuing to accumulate BTC despite short-term price volatility, positioning themselves for a long-term price increase. In a recent post, he stated, 'Whales are ready to welcome 'FOMO' by dumb money.' Cointelegraph previously reported that whale wallets had accumulated over 1.5 million BTC in the past six months, with each wallet holding more than 1,000 BTC, equivalent to $68 million at current values.
CryptoQuant CEO Ki-Young Ju pointed out that new whale wallets, with an average coin age under 155 days, have reached a new high of 1.97 million BTC. These new wallets, which are non-miner and potentially custodial, now represent 9.3% of the total Bitcoin supply, valued at $132 billion. Young-Ju mentioned that the BTC balance of these wallets has surged 813% year-to-date.
Despite the bullish outlook from whale wallets, long-term holders and miners may add some resistance to BTC’s price. IT Tech, an on-chain analyst at CryptoQuant, suggested that long-term holders might be stabilizing or taking profits. The analyst also noted that miners' profit sustainability has increased recently, correlating with Bitcoin price peaks. However, short-term holders are shifting towards accumulation, which could help the market absorb any selling pressure. Monitoring the activities of short-term holders, long-term holders, and miners is crucial as shifts in these areas can impact Bitcoin’s next move.#Bitcoin #BTC #Whales #CryptoQuant #Investors #MarketTrends #PriceSurge #FOMO #LongTermHolders #Miners #Accumulation #Bullish #Crypto
