ETHEREUM ETH
The Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) network upgrade is almost here (August 4) and with it has come heightened bullish Ethereum price predictions. The upgrade is expected to make the fee structure simpler and easier to use for transactions on the Ethereum network.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has provided a timeline of roughly 6 months to merge the ETH 1.0 and ETH 2.0 networks. Ahead of the Proof-of-Stake migration, more than $14 billion is said to have been staked on the ETH 2.0 network. Validator nodes on the network are said to have risen to 200,000.
The potential double bottom on the daily chart needs confirmation via a neckline break at 2378.30. If this breakout happens, the bulls will seek a measured move that takes the ETH/USD pair above 2671.89 and 2940.68 and towards the 3167.12 completion point.
The heightened bullish Ethereum price predictions would need to wait validation of the pattern, as price has violated the neckline to the south after Thursday’s penetration close above it. If the daily candle closes below the neckline, the pattern remains unconfirmed.
Bears would then seek a further pullback that targets 2162.32, with 1964.19 serving as an additional downside target.
