Ethereum Price Analysis: $ETH Consolidates Near Channel Support Ethereum ($ETH) is currently trading around $1,960 after pulling back from its recent local high near $2,180. The 4-hour chart reveals that $ETH has been moving inside a clear ascending channel formation, a technical structure that typically indicates a controlled bullish trend. Within this pattern, price repeatedly moves between a rising support line and a rising resistance line. After rejecting from the upper boundary of the channel earlier this week, Ethereum has now returned toward the lower trendline support, a level that could determine the next major move.

Hyperliquid’s permissionless market hits record $1.2 billion in open positions as oil and equity futures boom
Decentralized exchange Hyperliquid’s permissionless platform, which lets anyone create perpetual futures tied to any asset, is more popular than ever. Since its debut on Oct. 13, the so-called HIP-3 market has steadily gained traction, with open interest — the total value of all active contracts — hitting a record $1.2 billion on Sunday, according to data source ASXN. It has since remained at all time highs in a sign of growing adoption and activity on the platform. The growth has been driven by booming activity in futures tied to equities and commodities, including oil, gold, and silver. It highlights how…
Ethereum price has come under renewed pressure after a major on-chain event shook the market. Since March 6, $ETH has dropped nearly 8%, even though it is down only about 1.4% over the past 24 hours. The weakness followed a $157 million $ETH transfer by Ethereum co-founder Jeffrey Wilcke, possibly to dump. However, deeper on-chain data now suggests that some whale cohorts may actually be trying to absorb the selling pressure. Co-Founder’s $157 Million Transfer May Be Misread as Whale Selling Ethereum’s recent weakness began when Jeffrey Wilcke, one of the network’s co-founders, moved 79,176 $ETH to the Kraken exchange,…
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has renewed his support for Bitcoin, casting it as both a hedge against inflation and a gateway to financial access. Key Points Brian Armstrong says inflation disproportionately harms those holding cash, widening economic inequality. Wealthier individuals can shield themselves from inflation by investing in assets such as Bitcoin, stocks, and real estate. Bitcoin and other digital assets can expand financial access, enabling anyone with internet access to participate. Armstrong links crypto adoption to national economic growth in supportive regulatory environments. The CLARITY Act aims to clarify U.S. digital asset regulations, with bipartisan talks targeting passage by…
Flow ($FLOW) coin, launched by Dapper Labs in 2020, has recently been dealing with delisting news. At this point, $FLOW is trying to block the delisting decisions of South Korea’s largest exchanges, Upbit, Bithumb, and other domestic exchanges. Accordingly, on March 9, the Flow Foundation filed a preliminary injunction application with the Seoul Central District Court, requesting that Upbit, Bithumb, and other domestic exchanges halt their decisions to end trading support for $FLOW. Upbit and Bithumb had previously announced that trading support for $FLOW was scheduled to end on March 16th. Following the foundation’s application to prevent $FLOW from being…
Ethereum remains under broad pressure across higher timeframes, with the price still trading well below its major moving averages and inside a dominant bearish market structure. While the recent rebound from the February lows helped $ETH stabilize around $1,900, the charts still suggest that buyers are struggling to reclaim any meaningful resistance, keeping the short-term outlook cautious for now. Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart On the daily chart, $ETH continues to trade beneath both the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which are still sloping downward and confirming that the broader trend remains bearish. The asset is also respecting the…

The days when crypto exchanges could exist in a grey zone are getting behind us.In the US, UK, Europe and Asia, regulators are not merely drawing new rules, but they are actually enforcing them.It is a huge shift for the traders and investors who have got used to the relative freedom that they had before. The driving force behind it is quite simple: Crypto is not a type of asset that is marginal anymore.Bitcoin ETFs are already kept in normal brokerage accounts, cross-border payrolls are already being carried out with the help of stablecoins, and tokenised securities are being put…
Ethereum traded around $1,939 on March 8, 2026, hovering near short-term support as technical indicators across multiple timeframes suggested a market lacking strong upward momentum. In short, liquidity is healthy, participation exists, and yet the chart continues to behave like a trader who showed up to the party but refuses to dance. Ethereum Chart Outlook On the daily chart, ethereum remains positioned below a cluster of longer-term trend indicators, underscoring the broader corrective structure. Price action is still operating beneath the $2,000 psychological level while forming consolidation behavior inside a wider multi-month downtrend channel. The longer-term bias is therefore defined…
CHICAGO, March 2025 – Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee has placed a critical condition on potential 2025 interest rate reductions, stating further cuts require inflation moving decisively toward the central bank’s 2% target.

He explicitly linked additional monetary policy accommodation to observable progress on inflation. Consequently, market participants must now watch…
