$eth predictions based on the current market trend: There is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2,380 on the hourly chart of $ETH/$USD ( via Kraken). 🧵
$eth has an initial resistance near the $2,350 level with major resistance near the $2,380 level.
This is causing a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $2,380 on the hourly chart of $ETH/$USD.
$eth has its main resistance forming near the $2,400 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $2,569 swing high to $2,200 low.
A close for $eth above the $2,400 level could open the doors for a decent increase. In the stated case, $eth price might rise towards the $2,550 resistance or the 100 hourly simple moving average.
If #Eth fails to recover above the $2,400 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial $eth support on the downside is near the $2,250 zone.
The next major support for $eth is near the $2,220 level. The main breakdown support now sits near the $2,200 level. If there is a downside break below $2,200 and the recent low, #ether price might accelerate lower. In this case, it could even decline towards the $2,080 level.
for those that have experienced this last July with $eth, you may remember the bounce from $1,800 to $4k in a little over a month. We will keep our fingers crossed we see things again and #eth keeps it’s support above $2,380. 🤞

Another thing to consider with $usdt is that #tether doesn’t disclose specifics about the commercial paper that substantially backs its “stablecoin. There have been unconfirmed reports that the Chinese real estate developer, Evergrande. (A thread 🧵):
If it’s true that $usdt and #tether are tied to Evergrande, this could be problematic for the entire market. If $usdt needs liquidity and calls upon its biggest asset (the debt owed by Evergrande) and Evergrande can’t pay, it’s a valid conclusion that chaos would ensue.
Another thing to consider if all stablecoins such as $ust and $usdt lose their 1:1 peg, this would cause massive distrust in crypto and the blockchain as a whole, which would (in theory) cause massive sell off, allowing larger corporations to buy up even more #crypto at discount
If $usdt is unable to recover and investors are squeezed into one of the only available backed stablecoins ( $usdc ), would this be the beginning of the end for DeFi?
If $usdt is unable to recover and everyone shifts to $usdc, would that mean that Circle Internet Financial would be the CBDC of the Federal Reserve?
Tin foil hat time: the current crash of $ust $luna and (soon) $USDT is a planned attack on stablecoins to push for regulation and squeeze all into $usdc (a thread 🧵):
Let’s start with some facts about the situation $ust $luna itself:
$UST is deemed a “stablecoin”, meaning it normally maintains a 1:1 peg with the US Dollar. $ust works with its sister token, $LUNA, to maintain a price around $1 using a set of on-chain mint-and-burn mechanics.
