Cryptocurrency analyst known by the pseudonym FieryTrading predicts a crash in the price of Ethereum (ETH) to $900 by the beginning of 2024.

FieryTrading believes that the price of Ethereum will break through the ascending trend line that emerged in June 2022. As a result, the altcoin’s value will break down the descending triangle forming since April 2023 and plummet. According to the expert, the dump will be significant, and the asset’s price will drop to the low established at the end of the bearish trend last year.

FieryTrading’s forecast on the change in Ethereum’s price on the chart:

However, the width of the triangle suggests that Ethereum could drop to $622 if in October the coin’s price breaks through the lower line of the figure, which is at the $1500 mark. Otherwise, a correction will occur, and the price of ETH will rise to $1800.

Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, the company behind the artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT, has expressed concern about the future of Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, which, in his opinion, are facing pressure from the U.S. government.

“I am disappointed with what the U.S. government has been doing lately; this war on cryptocurrency, this unwillingness to let go of control, makes me worry for the country,” Altman said.

His comments reflect the growing unease among crypto enthusiasts and industry leaders about the increasing government intervention in the realm of digital currencies, leading to constant criticism of agencies such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Altman also expressed deep concern about the potential transformation of the United States into a surveillance state, especially in the context of money control. He also stated that he is vehemently opposed to the concept of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)

“Of course, it’s still too early to determine how Ethereum futures ETFs will perform in the long term, but the initial volumes were not very impressive. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the trading volume for Ethereum futures ETFs was less than $2 million on the first morning, significantly lower than the volume generated by the Bitcoin futures ETF ProShares. It’s a fairly decent volume for an Ethereum futures ETF as a class. Just under $2 million is normal for a new ETF, but compared to $BITO, which earned $200 million in its first 15 minutes, it’s a low figure. Balchunas posted a screenshot of a spreadsheet showing volumes for Ethereum futures ETFs, including products offered by Valkyrie, VanEck, ProShares, and Bitwise. The Bitcoin and Ethereum mix ETF from Valkyrie led by a significant margin, with a trading volume of nearly $800,000.

The tokens Solana (SOL), Injective (INJ), and Radicle (RAD) might be gearing up for a significant upward movement soon. Over the past two weeks, both INJ and SOL have rebounded from key support levels, and RAD may be poised to break out of its 14-day consolidation channel.

Solana (SOL) In the span of two weeks, SOL’s price rebounded from the long-term positive trendline and attempted to surpass a major resistance level.

On September 12, 2023, SOL’s price bounced off the positive trendline established on the daily chart since June of this year. Since then, the cryptocurrency’s price has cleared the $19.35 barrier, turning it into support. This has provided SOL with the foundation needed to breach the resistance level at $22.20.

 

If SOL manages to close a daily candle above this barrier in the next couple of days, the token could continue its ascent towards the subsequent resistance level at $25.55. However, this bullish scenario could be invalidated if SOL fails to close a daily candle above $22.20 in the next 3 days.

The U.S. government may shut down this weekend if Democrats and Republicans fail to reach an agreement on spending. Currently, lawmakers are considering a bill, but both chambers have reached an impasse.

If the bipartisan proposal aimed at preventing the shutdown doesn’t get approval by midnight on Saturday, the government will be forced to close its doors.

Coinshares analyst Luke Nolan believes that certain market participants are confident that the impending shutdown will serve as a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin and the entire crypto economy:

“The potential government shutdown is promising for cryptocurrencies as it directly reinforces the narrative that non-sovereign currencies are not impacted by government procedures,” explained Nolan.

The document provides a detailed description of a systеm in which users can buy and sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs) through a third-party service provider. Although the specific provider is not mentioned, Ethereum is referenced in the text. The patent application also outlines methods for conducting transactions with NFTs.

PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) intends to harness the full potential of NFTs for tokenization, going far beyond simple exchange.

“NFTs can represent any unique piece of digital data that can be tracked using a distributed ledger. Examples of such assets inсlude digital images and videos, music, collectibles, other digital art, as well as documents for personal property, event tickets, and legal documents,” the application states.

PayPal continues to expand its cryptocurrency services. The company recently announced that users will now be able to convert digital assets into US dollars and withdraw them to their accounts.
