Ethereum is stuck below a major resistance zone while support levels keep getting tested. Two fresh charts now show the same message: the market still looks fragile, and the next breakout or breakdown could set the tone for what comes next.

Their findings suggest prediction markets can serve as a “valuable complement to existing forecast tools in both research and policy settings,” the authors wrote.

Wall Street’s biggest exchanges are embracing digital assets by aiming to put the $126 trillion equity market on blockchains — but they are not going at it alone; rather, they are relying on crypto exchanges to get there.
