ETH: Is It Different this Time?
In recent times, pundits have not been kind to ETH. Apart from some technical problems and proposals, the word is that ETH is a dying chain. Perhaps most importantly, the L2s on ETH are cannibalizing the chain of much-needed capital. We all know how expensive the ETH chain can get. All you need to do is look at the price of gas. As of writing, the gas price is 17.193 Gwei. Not cheap!
So, what can we expect from the current price drive? First, the fear and greed index is at 78. The index is not too bad and still has a way to go before any price panic. Secondly, the Ichimoku indicator sums up the current situation nicely. While the indicator's behaviour shows a bullish nature, there are some signs we must pay attention to. First, we see the Chikou span entangled in the price action. The entanglement causes price resistance. In other words, the price gets stuck within a range. Secondly, we also see that the Tenkan sen and the Kijun sen are still in the cloud. A bullish sentiment means that both these indicators must be out of the cloud. Of course, we see that the price is also above the cloud. There is also the case that an area of supply exists between $3730 and $4100.
Perhaps if ETH breaks $4100, the price might get to its once-all-time high. Only time will tell. So, is it different this time? It looks so but time will tell if it is so. And as for if we will ever see ETH get back to $4870, your guess is as good as mine.
