$5,000 Ethereum? Analyst Identifies the Levels That Could Decide ETH's Next Move

Ethereum could target $5,363 after breaking its current resistance, but a pullback toward the $2,235 realized price first remains possible.  Ethereum saw one of its biggest weekly moves in years after staging an impressive 30% rally. The altcoin crossed $2,500 briefly, then slipped back slightly below that level.  New data shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez suggests that ETH could be on a path toward $5,000 if it clears a major resistance zone.  Growing Buying Pressure  On August 19, Ethereums MVRV Ratio formed a golden cross above its 160-day moving average. Martinez also pointed to stronger whale accumulation. The number of addresses holding more than 10,000 ETH has increased by 1.74%. In fact, 17 new whale addresses joined the network over the past week.  At the same time, the token supply is moving off exchanges. More than 180,764 ETH, which is worth about $440 million, has been withdrawn over the past week. Martinez said the trend supports the case for increasing buying pressure.  However, it still faces a major resistance zone between $2,722 and $2,970. URPD data shows that 16.70 million were previously acquired within this range, which makes it a major supply wall. If Ethereum breaks through the zone, the next major MVRV Pricing Band

Ethereum proposal would cut 33,800 ETH issuance and break every deployed Altair light client

A newly merged Ethereum proposal would retire the networks 512-validator sync committee, remove its rewards, and make the current Altair light-client interface obsolete by replacing it with offchain zero-knowledge proofs.  Related Asset Ethereum #2 ETH · $2,506.53 24-hour change: up 3.02% 24H Up 3.02% 7D Up 32.84% 30D Up 33.19%  The Draft EIP-8390 estimates that deleting the committees reward weight would reduce annual consensus issuance by roughly 33,800 ETH.  Ethereum would give up an in-protocol mechanism that lets lightweight clients follow the beacon chain before the proposed replacement proving service, migration interface, and economic support have been specified.  A sync committee is a 512-validator sample whose messages give light clients a compact way to track Ethereum without processing the full validator set.  The proposal entered the official EIPs repository at 02:04 UTC on Aug. 24, but its Draft status makes it a design for discussion, not an adopted upgrade. It has no activation epoch or Ethereum roadmap commitment, and the document leaves scheduling to client teams.  The authors discussion thread listed no external reviews in its initial-draft update.  Issuance falls, but the security trade changes  Ethereums consensus reward formula assigns the sync committee a weight of 2 within a denominator of 64. EIP-8390 would remove that weight without

New Zealand Dollar gains as high inflation fuels odds of RBNZ September rate hikes

NZD/USD gains ground after registering modest losses in the previous day, trading around 0.5960 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. The pair appreciates as the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) receives support on expectations that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will raise interest rates again in September, as inflation remains elevated.  RBNZ tightening path seen as firmly priced into Kiwi rates  Strategists at Brown Brothers Harriman note that the upcoming RBNZ meeting on September 2 will be closely watched, as it includes a fresh Monetary Policy Statement and comes with market expectations already firmly set. They point out that “the next RBNZ policy decision, which also includes a fresh Monetary Policy Statement, is on September 2 and a 25bps back-to-back hike to 2.75% is virtually fully priced-in,” underscoring how investors see the central bank maintaining its tightening trajectory despite recent mixed domestic data.  Additionally, the NZD/USD pair gains ground as the US Dollar (USD) continues to face downward pressure following the US Treasurys decision to double its buyback operations for longer-dated bonds.

FalconX asks SEC to bring single-stock perpetuals from DeFi under swap rules

FalconX Bravo wants US regulators to treat cash-settled perpetuals tied to a single security or a narrow-based security index as security-based swaps under SEC rules when they fall outside the joint SEC-CFTC security-futures framework.

Wall Street Analysts Bullish On Bitcoin, Reveal 3 Major Catalysts For Further BTC Price Rally

Bitcoin is making a comeback and Wall Street analysts are citing three factors that could push it up and make its next move. BTC is getting a lot of buzz, not only as an investment with high risk but also as a possible countermeasure against the general uncertainty of the economy.  The updated forecast was shared by Zaye Capital Markets. The study firm pointed out that Bitcoins market behaviour is becoming more complex. BTC can still move with risk assets such as equities. However, it can also be a positive influence when inflation fears and government debt and geopolitical uncertainty prevail.  Bitcoin climbed 2.1% to $79,420 at press time. Earlier in the day, the BTC price had been trading above $80,000 before, for the first time in three months.  Institutional Demand Soars For Bitcoin  The first major catalyst for Bitcoin price rally is stronger institutional participation. More upside is required of genuine buying demand, Zaye Capital Markets said. A surge that is largely fueled by short sellers closing trades could be short-lived, they stated.  Recently, around $1.92 billion in combined net inflows have poured into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs since August 17. The first day, on August 17, the funds raised $297.5 million; the second

He contrasted the present environment with 2014, 2018, and 2022, when he found optimism substantially harder to sustain.  Noting that it was “hard to be bullish” in 2014, 2018, and 2022, Hougan stated:  “The crazy thing about 2026 is how easy it is to be bullish: Regulatory progress, stablecoins scaling, the rise of tokenization, assets with real revenue and buybacks, and a debasement bid.”  “The crazy thing about 2026 is how easy it is to be bullish: Regulatory progress, stablecoins scaling, the rise of tokenization, assets with real revenue and buybacks, and a debasement bid.”  This view extends a market argument Hougan made on July

Bitcoin Faces Brutal Rejection at $80K, but Bulls Remain Defiant

The $80,000 psychological barrierImpatient buyers and renewed U.S. demand  Bitcoins march toward the historic $80,000 milestone hit a brick wall today: immense sell pressure triggered a sharp intraday pullback.  However, despite the steep drop, market metrics and aggressive dip-buying indicate that bullish sentiment remains largely unshaken.  The $80,000 psychological barrier  Bitcoin bulls made two distinct attempts to breach the $80,000 level earlier today. The price action spiked toward the major resistance line just before 11:30 and again shortly after 12:15, only to be met with aggressive selling right below the threshold.  Bitcoin Faces Brutal Rejection at $80K, but Bulls Remain Defiant  Whales Hedge $1.3 Billion in Bitcoin and XRP While Gold Hits Fresh August Highs: Main Crypto News This Morning  Market analyst James Stanley has noted that the asset “wicked right underneath the level and then snap[ped] back.”  After failing to hold the $79,500 support level, the price cascaded down. Selling accelerated until Bitcoin found a local bottom just above $78,400 around 13:30, before mounting a steady recovery back above the $79,000 mark.
