Zadykan. This is a good sign for the second cryptocurrency in capitalization, since the more coins in stakeing, the fewer of them on crypto -rhms. In addition, cryptocurrency owners not only show their interest in additional awards, but also contribute to strengthening network security.
The so -called institutional investors also demonstrate faith in the further growth of the ether. The Bitmine mining company increased its ETH reserve by 190,000 coins last week.

But the Stohastik indicator gives a series of bear signals. Firstly, although ETH reached its historical maximum on August 24, the oscillator showed a lower value. On the graph, a bearish divergence arose (in the image below it is marked with yellow lines), which usually portends a decrease in the price. So, in fact, it turned out. Also, the negative is added by the output of Stochastic from the overlap zone. It has already dropped below 50. The next levels of support and resistance on the daily schedule: $ 4314.3 and $ 4955.3, respectively.

The revolutionary of the sentence lies in the new, more effective architecture, the main components of which are called Votor and Rotor. Votor is a protocol that can reduce the finalization time of the block from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, making transactions much faster. Rotor is a simplified block distribution system. As planned by developers, as a result of the implementation of Alpenglow, the Proof-OF-History consensus mechanism applied before and the concept of Byzantine fault resistance will be completely replaced. So far, 244 validators voted, 22%. To make a decision, it is necessary to reach a quorum of 33%, of which 67% should

At the peak in October 2024, the indicator exceeded 5.5 million. Negative dynamics is largely explained by the increased amount of ragpulls in memcoids. Celebrity accounts were also contributed to their contributions (Adele, Tyla, Future and others), who have their own cryptocurrencies on the SOLANA blockchain, on social networks and growth Dominations Ecosystems of Ethereum.

In particular, long -term holders distinguished themselves, that is, those who have been Bitcoin for more than five years. The most sensational story was the sale of 24,000 BTC in the amount of about $ 2.7 billion by one user on Sunday, June 24. According to the results of the trading on that day, the largest cryptocurrency in capitalization
decreased by 1.66%.
Analysts of the Cryptoquant platform note insufficient demand for BTC. Given the increased influx of coins from the side of long -term holders, the decrease is quite justified. True, in Cryptoquant

From the point of view of technical analysis, the Bitcoin trend remains descending. This is confirmed by the negative value of the Momentum indicator, as well as the location of the price below the 50-day sliding medium (indicated in blue).
