Ethereum Surges: Price Up Over 41% in the Last Month

Ethereum (ETH) surges past $3,545, breaking an 8-month downtrend. Explore bullish predictions, DeFi dominance, NFT trends, and key resistance levels driving its growth. Learn more now!

Ethereum (ETH), the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, is experiencing a significant surge in price. After breaking out of an eight-month downtrend, ETH has climbed over 6% today, reaching $3,545. This rally follows a strong week with an 11.1% rise and a staggering 41% gain in the last 30 days.

Analysts Are Bullish on Ethereum's Future

Analysts are optimistic about Ethereum's future, predicting it could reach over $4,800 during this cycle. Several factors contribute to this bullish sentiment:

1. Technical Breakouts: ETH has broken free from a descending channel and descending triangle pattern, indicating potential for further price increases. Analysts have set targets as high as $4,700, bringing it close to its all-time high of $4,878.

2. Strong Momentum Indicators: Technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reaching 70 and Ethereum outperforming its moving averages suggest a robust upward trend.

3. Potential Golden Cross: A Golden Cross, where the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term one, is another bullish signal on the horizon.

Ethereum's Dominance in DeFi

Ethereum remains a dominant force in the cryptocurrency space. It accounts for over half of the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi, solidifying its critical role in the ecosystem. Additionally, the success of ETH-based layer-two solutions further strengthens its position.

Possible Boost from Favorable Regulations

The possibility of pro-crypto legislation under the incoming Trump administration could also benefit Ethereum. If implemented, such policies could accelerate its growth and align its market price with its perceived intrinsic value.

Recent Price Action and Upcoming Resistance Levels

At the time of writing this article on November 26, Ethereum is priced at $3,388, which means it has decreased by 1.6% with its highest price being $3,545 in the last 24 hours.

Despite the price decrease, Ethereum's RSI value is above 50, which means there is still hope for a price increase in the near future because the ETH buying trend is still dominant compared to the selling trend.

Increased weekend buying pressure and potential rotation away from Bitcoin have pushed Ethereum prices up. Analysts suggest a 30% rally is possible if ETH maintains bullish pressure above the key $3,400 level.

A successful break above $3,400 could see prices surge towards $4,189 and potentially reach $4,862.

NFT Market Update

While NFT sales have dipped slightly from the previous week, the overall trend remains positive, with a total volume of $158 million.

Ethereum remains the top network for NFT sales, followed by Solana. Interestingly, Solana is witnessing a surge in the number of NFT buyers.

Analyst Predictions on Altcoins

Popular analyst Altcoin Sherpa believes Ethereum might be nearing a cycle bottom relative to Bitcoin (ETH/BTC). He expects altcoins, including XRP, to perform well after Bitcoin completes its current rally.

Overall, Ethereum's outlook is positive. With strong technical indicators, a dominant position in DeFi, and potential tailwinds from regulations, ETH seems poised for further growth.

Key Factors Driving Ethereum's Growth

As Ethereum continues its bullish momentum, its dominance in the crypto market remains undeniable. Its robust network, extensive developer community, and innovative applications have solidified its position as a leading blockchain platform.

1. Layer-2 Solutions: The emergence of layer-2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism has significantly improved Ethereum's scalability and transaction speed, addressing one of its major limitations.

2. DeFi Ecosystem: Ethereum remains the backbone of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, offering a wide range of financial services, from lending and borrowing to derivatives trading.

3. NFT Market: Ethereum has a significant presence in the NFT market, with many popular NFT collections being minted and traded on the platform.

4. Institutional Adoption: Increasing institutional interest in Ethereum, with major financial institutions and corporations exploring blockchain technology, has further bolstered its credibility.

Potential Challenges and Risks

While Ethereum's future looks promising, it's important to acknowledge potential challenges and risks:

1. Network Congestion: Despite layer-2 solutions, Ethereum's network can still experience congestion during peak times, leading to increased transaction fees.

2. Competition from Other Blockchains: Emerging blockchains like Solana and Cardano are vying for market share, offering faster transaction speeds and lower fees.

3. Regulatory Uncertainty: Regulatory uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrencies can impact the overall market sentiment and investment flows.

Conclusion

Ethereum's strong fundamentals, coupled with its active developer community and growing ecosystem, make it a compelling investment opportunity. However, as with any investment, it's essential to conduct thorough research and consider the potential risks involved.

Green groups, advocates deliver bold message to governments: End plastic now

  

27 November 2024, San Juan, La Union — As United Nations member states continue talks this week in Busan, South Korea for the fifth and most critical session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-5)[1] to develop a Global Plastics Treaty, Greenpeace Philippines, together with Young Earth Savers, Koalisyon Isalbar ti Pintas ti La Union, Dalumpinas Oeste Eco Rangers, San Juan Resort Restaurant Hotel Association Inc., and communities in La Union, unfurled a giant banner on the shorelines of Urbiztondo, with a bold message to world leaders to “END PLASTIC NOW.”

The creative action sends a strong reminder to governments, especially the Philippine delegation led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, to maintain and strengthen its position at INC-5 in Busan, South Korea.

"The INC-5 is our last stand in ending plastic pollution on a global scale,” said Marian Ledesma, Greenpeace Philippines Zero Waste Campaigner, speaking from the INC5 meeting in Busan.

“Governments must create a strong and ambitious Plastics Treaty that reduces plastic production and advances reuse in order to safeguard people's health, secure economic opportunities, and protect the environment. Anything less will only allow the plastic crisis to spiral further out of control."

The participants held a banner spelling out "END PLASTIC NOW!" Tuesday morning, pushing for a strong Plastics Treaty that mandates a cut in plastic production and supports a just transition to slow, circular, reuse-based economy.

Various community members participated in the creative action including fisherfolk, progressive businesses, civil society groups, and tourists, among others.

“Ang Global Plastics Treaty na ginagawa ngayon sa Busan, Korea ay malaki ang maitutulong kasi ang pag-iingay natin dito ay maririnig ng buong daigdig. Ang treaty ay makakatulong para maitigil na ang pagprodukto lalung-lalo na ng mga single-use plastic," said Koalisyon Isalbar ti Pintas ti La Union president Cris Palabay.

(The Global Plastics Treaty being discussed in Busan, Korea would help us greatly because it's an opportunity for the whole world to hear our demand. This treaty could potentially stop the production of single-use plastics.)

Tina Antonio-Schmitz, Secretary of San Juan Resort Restaurant Hotel Association Inc. echoed this call, saying that it could possibly shift the burden of accountability from grassroots communities and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) towards the major producers of problematic plastics — large corporations.

“The INC-5 road to plastic reduction treaty will help target the actual manufacturers who make billions of money in production because it will have the guidelines. [That’s where it usually begins], a treaty and then actual guidelines [that governments must follow]. And it might even go to the point where it can be litigated,” explained Antonio-Schmitz.

Oil-producing states and plastic industry lobbyists are increasing pressure on countries into adopting a watered down treaty, as 99% of plastic is made from chemicals sourced from fossil fuels.[2] The plastic lifecycle not only generates emissions that drive climate change, but it is also linked to millions of deaths worldwide.[3]

The Philippines earlier took a progressive stance earlier this year at the INC-4, calling for global reduction targets based on scientific evidence.[4] Greenpeace is calling for a 75% reduction in plastic reduction by 2040[5] in order to maintain a “livable planet and an equitable future."

With 94% of Filipinos[6] in favor of a cap on plastic production to mitigate pollution, biodiversity loss, and global warming, advocates believe that the Philippine government must listen to the sentiments of the people and protect them and the environment by championing a strong Plastics Treaty. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is representing the Philippines in the talks.

Ledesma said, “INC-5 will be remembered for the choices our leaders make today. We are calling on the DENR to help ensure that the talks conclude with an outcome that is pro-people and planet. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pave the way for a healthier, plastic-free future. The stakes are high, and failure is not an option. The world is watching, and it demands action.”
