Ethereum suffered liquidations worth $352 million over the last 24 hours. Cryptocurrencies dropped alongside the equities market after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that consumer prices for April rose 8.3%, which was slightly higher than expected by economists polled by Dow Jones. As the asset is being put up for sale, this leads to its availability on exchanges and a consequent drop in price. Santiment notes that this kind of whale transaction might be something to watch as Ethereum drops beneath the $2,000 mark. Ethereum's transaction volume also reached an 11-month high of 127,411.285 ETH, per Glassnode alerts. 🐳— Santiment (@santimentfeed) #Ethereum's whales have been extremely active today, firing off 2,596 transactions valued at $1M or more.

Ether plunges 13% while Bitcoin pushes BTC dominance to 2022 ... (Cointelegraph)

Ethereum's native token, Ether (ETH), plunged to its lowest level in almost two months against Bitcoin (BTC) as a crypto market sell-off intensified on May ...

The ETH/BTC plunge coincided with the Bitcoin dominance index — a metric that measures Bitcoin’s market share against altcoins — climbing to nearly 45% on May 12, its highest level since November 2021. As a result of Ether’s slightly limited decline compared to Bitcoin’s, ETH/BTC has shown resilience despite the market downturn in 2022. But ETH faces a sequence of resistance levels as it pursues an upward continuation trend in the coming days. Conversely, ETH/BTC has been testing an upward sloping trendline, marked as “LTF support” in the chart above, as support since June 2021. The ETH/BTC trading pair fell by 7.5% to 0.0663 in the past 24 hours. Similarly, Bitcoin is down 63% from its all-time high of $69,000 in the same period.

And you know Ethereum had such a big lead 9 months, 12 months ago that it seemed unfathomable that anybody -- let's just take NFTs as a good example, because that's where a lot of the development is happening. Travis Hoium: The fact that Ethereum has limits on how it can scale today, and that's going to be a challenge and basically allow competitors, competing blockchains, to more fully develop. The limits that Ethereum ( ETH -10.48%) has on how it can scale today could be a serious challenge that allows competing blockchains to more fully develop in its place.

Bitcoin price dropped below USD 27000 before recovering. Ethereum declined 18%, XRP dived to USD 0.35. LUNA traded below USD 0.04.

XRP price fell sharply below the USD 0.40 level. DOGE spiked below the USD 0.072 support zone, tested USD 0.070, and recovered higher. The next major support is near the USD 25,000 level, below which the price could extend losses to USD 22,000. If there is no upside break above USD 2,000, the price might decline to USD 1,700. The next major resistance is now forming near USD 2,050. On the downside, the first major support is near USD 25,500. It traded close to the USD 38 level before there was a recovery wave. If BTC manages to stay above the USD 28,500 level, the next key resistance is now forming near the USD 30,000 level. On the upside, ETH may perhaps face resistance near the USD 2,000 level. XRP declined 24% and tested USD 0.350. ADA tested USD 0.40 before the bulls emerged. BTC even broke the USD 27,500 support and spiked below USD 27,000.

Look out below! Ethereum derivatives data hints at further downside ... (Cointelegraph)

ETH options pricing and the top traders' long-to-short ratio signal a lack of confidence in the $1700 support.

The skew indicator has been above 10% since April 23 and it skyrocketed to a 29% peak on May 12. OKX's top traders' ratio decreased from 1.25 to the current 0.85 level. If those traders fear an Ether price crash, the skew indicator will move above 10%. On the other hand, generalized excitement reflects a negative 10% skew. On May 11, USD Tether ( USDT), the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, broke below its peg, and traded under $0.99 on major exchanges. On May 11, Kukmin, a South Korea-based newspaper, reported a leaked draft of the upcoming governmental "Digital Asset Basic Act (DABA)" bill. Additional newsflow that added to the current market wide volatility were the bankruptcy fears that emerged after Coinbase, the largest U.S. exchange reported a $430 million first-quarter 2022 loss.

Will Ethereum Be The First Crypto To Recover? - Benzinga (Benzinga)

In yesterday's article on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), I highlighted a support level where the price is trading around that has the potential to end its decline ...

We can get an idea through our analysis of what price may do next, but it tends to be an uncontrollable animal when in consolidation. So far this month, this level is holding firm with a bounce of 13%, while Bitcoin is trading below this level. Like Bitcoin, the price is at a major support level formed in June 2021, which is the base of this consolidation area. Like Bitcoin, this new all-time high was short-lived, and the bears came in strong, pushing the price back into consolidation. It displays an almost identical picture to Bitcoin, also printing a new all-time high in November 2021 at $5,000. I tend to look at these levels as zonal areas instead of hard levels.

Ethereum Below $2000; Do We See A Relief Rally Soon? (newsbtc.com)

Ethereum has bled heavily owing to the aftermath of the crypto crash. Prices of other altcoins followed suit.

A reading below the 20-SMA meant sellers were driving the price momentum in the market. ETH’s price was seen below the 20-SMA which made investors stay away from buying the coin. A move below the $1900 level could be expected and ETH might find temporary support at the $1700 area before it makes a bounce back. Chances of price rebounding cannot be ruled out as the coin is heavily discounted. At press time, ETH was trading at $1907. The coin had last touched this price level in August 2021. Prices of other altcoins followed suit as Bitcoin hangs below the $30,000 price mark.

Ethereum Gas Fee Definition (U.S News & World Report Money)

A gas fee is the amount of Ether required for an Ethereum blockchain network user to conduct a transaction on the network.

The average Ethereum network transaction fee tends to be higher than the Bitcoin blockchain network, for example. Different types of transactions on the Ethereum network require different amounts of gas to successfully complete. In April 2022, Ethereum developers started a test version of the PoS blockchain that runs in parallel with the legacy PoW blockchain. The base fee for a particular block is calculated based on how the size of the previous block compares to the 15 million gas target. Base fees tend to be higher when there are a large number of users interacting with the Ethereum network. Gas fees are used to compensate Ethereum miners for their work in verifying transactions and securing the network.
