There could be two main reasons why Ether (ETH) has barely moved in price despite the landmark approval of spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETF) in the United States.Â
On May 23, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved eight spot Ether ETFs to be listed on their respective exchanges. Ether fell 3.4% just before the news, recovering by around 5% shortly after, and is currently trading at $3,806.
Crypto commentator Zach Rynes argues that the lack of movement reflects the notion that âeveryone who wanted to buy the approval already did.â
Ether had already surged 29% over the past week after reports suggested the SEC may have pivoted its stance toward ETF approvals.
Rynes and many others also note that while the ETFs have been approved, they still havenât been cleared for launch, as that will also require an approved S-1 filing â a comprehensive document including details on the firmâs financials and risk profile, as well as the securities they intend to offer.
VanEck has just sent its amended S-1 filing to the SEC and analysts have been saying could take weeks to months for the re S-1 approvals.

Rynes believes the next major price force for Ether will be ETF inflows once they begin trading.
âETFs havenât actually launched yet, so net new capital inflow is still to come,â Rynes wrote, with crypto research firm Second Mountain echoing a similar sentiment.
âExpect a massive capital inflow in the first week, potentially reaching billions,â Second Mountain stated in a May 23 X post just before the SEC approved the ETFs.
However, some say it might not immediately lead to an upward trend.
Bitcoinâs price dropped 15% after spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved for trading on Jan. 10. According to CoinMarketCap data, it took 30 days for the price to spike 30% to $51,870.

There are also lingering concerns that Grayscaleâs announcement of its plans to convert its Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) into a spot Ether ETF could result in significant outflows â similar to Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) after the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January.
âGrayscale also re-filed the ETHE registration they'd withdrawn. Remember GBTC outflows? Now it's $11B+ ETH thatâs been trapped for 7 years,â pseudonymous crypto trader Rho Rider warned in a May 23 X post.
Since spot Bitcoin ETFs started trading on Jan. 11, GBTC has shed a total of $17.6 billion in assets, per Farside data.
Relax, Ether is undervalued, say maxisÂ
âETH is stupidly undervalued,â added independent Ethereum educator Sassal, arguing that the market has had only three days to âprice in the ETF approval.â

Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) stumbled slightly by 1.2% to $67,362 following the announcement but has since recovered to $67,706 at the time of writing.
Around the same time, PEPE (PEPE) hit another new all-time high, reaching $0.00001531, a 5% increase within the hour following the approval news.

Ethereum ETF Approvals Becoming 'giant Political Issue' â Joseph Lubin
According to Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin, early-stage applications to launch Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States are âas good as done.â
Speaking exclusively to Cointelegraph at DappCon in Berlin, Lubin said several 19b-4 applications filed by BlackRock will be approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, their launch to the public could be a more protracted process.
âThese 19- b4's from the exchanges, I think thatâs as good as done,â Lubin said.Â
âBut the S1's, essentially these new ETFs going public, that could drag on for a while. It's not clear that it will. My guess is this is now a giant political issue.â
According to Lubin, Donald Trumpâs presidential campaign representatives have also been talking to cryptocurrency ecosystem participants for over two months.
âThatâs what weâve heard. Theyâre trying to formulate a strategy, considering there are some really savvy supporters on the Democratic side. I believe that the presidential campaign and others will want to appear pro-crypto,â Lubin said.

The Ethereum co-founder added that the SEC is now under strong pressure to adopt a more neutral stance as the U.S. presidential elections draw closer. Lubin said that the potential approval of Ether (ETH) ETFs would âhopefullyâ turn the SEC into a âthoughtful regulator.â
âIf 40%, 50%, or 60% of the voting public have digital assets, you donât want to stomp on their portfolios. You donât want to stomp on institutions, pension funds or other kinds of conserved funds,â Lubin added.
Consensys takes the fight to the SEC
Consensys announced in April that it was launching legal proceedings against the SEC for what Lubin has described as an undisclosed internal move to reclassify Ether as a security.
Lubin said that dealings with the previous SEC regime headed by Jay Clayton were more constructive. Prior conversations with the regulator afforded more discourse over whether Ether and other cryptocurrencies should be classified as securities.
Related:Â SEC doesnât want Ethereum to transform banking landscape, says Joseph Lubin
According to the CEO, the situation changed when Gary Gensler took over as SEC chairman. Lubin said that high-level banking and government factions had worked together to co-opt the Ethereum ecosystem.
âThatâs our working hypothesis. By co-opt, I mean make it into American-style decentralization where everybody has to come register. Maybe introduce some backdoors in the cryptography,â Lubin elaborated.
Over the course of two years, Consensys has acquiesced to SEC requests, providing more than 100,000 pages of documentation to the regulator. A decision to preempt further legal action against the SEC was taken due to growing concerns that the regulator was shifting its crosshairs over MetaMask, staking, developers, the Ethereum protocol and its move to proof-of-stake consensus.
Lubin said the SECâs lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase for allegedly offering unregistered securities and subsequent Wells notice letters issued to ecosystem players like Uniswap provided the impetus for Consensysâ decision to take on the securities regulator.
âWe were told that there would be a Wells notice coming, and we're certain that they were going to follow through and sue us. So we went ahead and crafted an action.â
As Lubin explained, the decision puts Consensys on the front foot to push for critical answers over the SECâs actions over the past year. It also means that Gensler may have to give a definitive stance over whether Ether is being viewed as a commodity or security.Â
âEverybody keeps saying itâs a commodity. Yet he canât bring himself to say that itâs a security. Heâs punishing everybody in our ecosystem as though theyâve already determined internally, secretly, that it is a security,â Lubin added.
SEC gaslighted Ethereum in America
The SECâs stance on cryptocurrencies, and Ethereum in particular, has led Lubin to believe that it is intent on regulating technology and developers. This is far from the institutionâs mandate to regulate securities.
Lubin said the SECâs stance has âgaslitâ the sector and perpetuated a cloud of regulatory uncertainty. Nevertheless, Consensys is âall inâ on taking the fight to the SEC and was ready to spend tens of millions of dollars on it legal battle.

In the previous post, I explained the indicators and their explanations in the stock market. This is a follow up post. #RSI #fibonachi #BOLLlNGER
5. Moving Averages Moving averages show the average of prices over a certain period of time. There are two main types: Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Moving averages are used to determine trend direction and analyze support and resistance levels. 6. Stochastic Oscillator The stochastic oscillator measures the position of an asset's closing price relative to its price range within a certain time period. It takes values ââbetween 0 and 100. Generally, above 80 is considered overbought and below 20 is considered oversold. This oscillator is used to predict trend reversals. 7. ATR (Average True Range) ATR measures the volatility in the price of an asset. It is calculated by averaging the âtrue rangesâ over a certain period of time. ATR helps understand the magnitude of price fluctuations and how volatile the market is. 8. ADX (Average Directional Index) ADX is used to measure the strength of a trend, but it does not determine its direction. It takes values ââbetween 0 and 100. Generally, values ââbelow 20 are considered a weak trend, and values ââabove 40 are considered a strong trend. ADX is used in trend-based strategies to evaluate whether the trend will continue or not. These indicators are used to develop various strategies and make more informed investment decisions when analyzing the stock market. Each provides different information to understand specific market conditions and are often used together to provide more comprehensive analysis
Basic indicators used in the stock market are tools that help investors analyze market movements and make buying and selling decisions. The main ones and their explanations: #RSI #BOLLINGER #fibonachi Continued in the 2nd POST
1. RSI (Relative Strength Index) RSI is a momentum oscillator calculated by the average of the last closing prices of an asset. It takes values ââbetween 0 and 100. Generally, above 70 is considered overbought, and below 30 is considered oversold. RSI is used to determine when prices enter overbought or oversold territory. 2. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) MACD shows the relationship between two moving averages and helps determine the direction and strength of the trend. The MACD includes a âMACD lineâ (usually calculated by subtracting the 26-day EMA from the 12-day EMA), a âsignal lineâ (usually the 9-day EMA), and a âMACD histogram.â This indicator is used to determine buying and selling points with signals such as crossover and histogram crossing the zero line. 3. Fibonacci Retracement (Fibonacci Retracement Levels) Fibonacci retracement levels are used to determine possible retracement (correction) levels in the price movements of an asset. These levels are calculated based on Fibonacci ratios (0.0%, 23.6%, 38.2%, 50.0%, 61.8%, 100%). Investors make buying and selling decisions by using these levels as support and resistance points. 4. Bollinger Bands Bollinger Bands consist of bands drawn at a distance of two standard deviations around the average of prices (usually the 20-day SMA). The widening of the bands indicates that volatility is increasing, and the narrowing of the bands indicates that volatility is decreasing. When prices approach the upper band, it is interpreted as an overbought signal, and when prices approach the lower band, it is interpreted as an oversold signal.

#ETH and #SOL Which one is a more profitable investment in the future?
**Ethereum:** 1. **DeFi and NFT Leadership:** Ethereum is a leader in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFT, and the majority of projects in these areas are built on Ethereum. This provides high usage and demand for Ethereum. 2. **Security and Decentralization:** Ethereum has a more mature ecosystem in terms of security and decentralization. It aims to increase security and efficiency by switching to the Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism with Ethereum 2.0. 3. **High Gas Fees:** Ethereum has been criticized for its high transaction fees (gas fees), but this also shows that the network is in high demand.
**Solana:** 1. **Speed ââand Low Fees:** Solana stands out with its high transaction speed and low transaction fees. This is especially advantageous for performance-demanding applications such as high-frequency trading and gaming. 2. **NFT and DeFi Growth:** Solana is experiencing rapid growth in the DeFi and NFT spaces. Lower transaction fees attract users and projects. 3. **Network Issues:** Solana has experienced network outages and performance issues in the past. Such issues can affect reliability, but Solana continues to make improvements in this area.
**General evaluation:** - **Ethereum:** It has the potential to remain strong in the long term with its more secure and decentralized structure, large user base and developer support. - **Solana:** It offers a fast-growing ecosystem with the advantages of high speed and low fees, but it needs improvements in network reliability.
As a result, while Ethereum stands out as a more established and secure option, Solana offers a fast-growing alternative with its innovative structure and performance advantages. Since both platforms have different strengths, it is important to make your investment decisions by taking these factors into consideration.
