Ethereum Is Vulnerable Below $310 Support: Here’s Why
Ethereum has continued to fall despite price upward correction. On September 5, Ether fell to the low of $310 and the price corrected upward.

Ethereum has continued to fall despite price upward correction. On September 5, Ether fell to the low of $310 and the price corrected upward.
This has been the market condition since Ether declined from the $480 resistance. From inception, Ether price has been making a series of lower highs and lower lows. Each time price corrects upward, the market makes a lower high. The biggest altcoin will resume a downward move after price makes lower highs.
The coin is falling after testing a lower high of $355. It indicates that the selling pressure will continue. Nevertheless, if buyers have sustained the bullish momentum above $355 high, the downtrend would have been invalidated. On the downside, once the support at $310 is breached, Ether will drop to $258 low. On the upside, if price rebounds above $310 low. It will signal the resumption of the uptrend.
Ethereum Indicator Analysis
ETH is also below the 20% range of the daily stochastic. The coin has fallen into the oversold region of the market. Buyers may likely emerge in the oversold region to push prices upward. ETH will continue to fall as long as the price is below the EMAs.
Key Resistance Zones: $220, $240, $260
Key Support Zones: $160, $140, $120
What Is the Next Direction for Ethereum?
The crypto has fallen to the $310 support and corrected upward. The downward movement is possible if the current support is broken. On the September 5 downtrend; the retraced candle body tested the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. The implication is that the market will fall to the 1.272 Fibonacci extension level or $258 low. Later, the price will reverse and return to the 78.6% retracement level.

TRON’s First Cross-Chain Prediction Market Comes Through a Partnership with Prosper


The popular blockchain project TRON will introduce the DLT-agnostic prediction market Prosper to its ecosystem. TRON users and TRX holders will be able to provide liquidity and enhance the success-rate of the prediction market solution.
TRON Teams Up With Prosper
Justin Sun’s TRON announced its latest partnership in a press release shared with CryptoPotato earlier today. It informed that the two blockchain projects have teamed up to address some of the issues related to decentralized prediction markets.
Such tools have been active for a while, but the statement highlighted the lack of sufficient liquidity as a major hurdle on their way to receive mass adoption. This comes mostly because each prediction market “has traditionally been segregated to a single chain,” and not enough users could provide the necessary liquidity to produce accurate predictions.
Prosper works similarly – the higher the liquidity is, meaning more users are involved, the more “predictions are made, leading to a more accurate and robust prediction outcome based on greater collective insight from the crowd.”
Furthermore, Prosper operates a cross-chain platform, which enables it to aggregate liquidity into its platform regardless of the user’s access point.
With the introduction of TRX, one of the largest digital assets by market cap, TRON and Prosper expect a surge in the liquidity to the underlying pool. Additionally, the integration will enable users to receive access to new applications that could impact their investment strategies and potential earnings.
The statement also touched upon a free insurance pool provided by Prosper. It allows the platform to repay any funds stolen from hacks from an emergency fund that is automatically set aside.
This partnership with TRON is an extension of Prosper’s efforts to collaborate with the biggest players of the DeFi world.” – said Iva Wisher, co-founder of Prosper.
TRON Aims at Ethereum
The announcement further explained that TRON is currently “working to create a competing DeFi ecosystem that rivals its counterparts while allowing for inexpensive transactions, creating a win-win situation for platform users.”
The PR outlined Ethereum’s major role in the space but touched upon its scaling issues, which have caused significant transaction delays and high gas costs.

XRP, Polkadot, Cosmos Price Analysis: 03 March

At the time of writing, bullish movements were underway across the crypto-market, with the same precipitated by Bitcoin’s foray above the $50,000-mark. Thanks to BTC’s movement and owing to the correlation shared by the market’s alts with the world’s largest cryptocurrency, the likes of Polkadot, XRP, and Cosmos were all rallying. At press time, however, their daily charts were yet to register more than a minor uptick in price trend.
XRP

Once one of the mainstays of the market top-five, XRP, at the time of writing, was ranked 7th on CoinMarketCap’s charts. Thanks to its own topsy-turvy price performance over the last few months and the performances of altcoins such as Polkadot and Cardano, the crypto is no longer among the market’s top-five.
Like the rest of the market, XRP too bore the brunt of corrections after Bitcoin dropped below $50,000. In fact, the altcoin fell by over 25% in a 5-day period.
Over the last three days, however, the cryptocurrency seemed to be gaining some bullish momentum. In fact, on the hourly charts, XRP’s hike was observed to be even more significant. However, at the time of writing, it was still difficult to predict whether the crypto would be able to sustain its movement north.
On the contrary, XRP’s indicators continued to flash bearish signals as while the Parabolic SAR’s dotted markers were well above the price candles, the Awesome Oscillator was still noting negative market momentum.
With the legal status of XRP still up for debate in the United States, it is difficult to ascertain what the future has in store for the altcoin.
Polkadot [DOT]

One of the cryptos to have replaced XRP on the rankings, the last few weeks and months have been great for Polkadot, with the altcoin registering its ATH just a few weeks back. However, like most alts, it too dropped dramatically on the charts after BTC’s depreciation, with the crypto falling by 17%.
Curiously, since then, DOT has been on an impressive uptrend, with the alt up by over 22% in the last 7 days. With the rest of the market pumping at press time, it seemed likely that these gains would be pushed even higher.
While the width of the Bollinger Bands suggested some degree of near-term price volatility, the Relative Strength Index was nearing the overbought zone. Here, it’s worth noting that XRP’s price has corrected itself the last two times the RSI has climbed into the said zone.
The project made headlines recently after a Polkadot-based platform raised $1.6M in funding from venture capitalists.
Cosmos [ATOM]

Source: ATOM/USD on TradingView
ATOM’s price movements shared more similarities with the likes of XRP, than Polkadot, with the altcoin also gaining on the charts only recently. In the last 7 days alone, ATOM has climbed by 12%. However, the said hike did come on the back of a 16% depreciation. While the altcoin’s market was trending upwards at the time of writing, it is worth noting that ATOM’s indicators on the daily timeframe were yet to underline any bullishness.
While the MACD line was under the Signal line, despite the bearish momentum falling on the histogram, the Chaikin Money Flow was heading south. If these indicators reverse course in the near-term, a trend reversal can be expected soon.

Bitfinex launches Bitfinex Pay for merchants to accept payments in ETH, BTC


Crypto exchange Bitfinex launched a payment widget dubbed Bitfinex Pay that will aim to provide online merchants with a means of receiving “seamless” digital token payments.
Merchants can integrate the payment technology onto a website facilitating e-payments. Users will have the option to pay with various cryptocurrencies which include Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), Lightning Network BTC (LN-BTC) and Tether (USDt) via Ethereum or Tron.
Payments made via Bitfinex Pay will be directly deposited into a merchant’s exchange wallet on Bitfinex. The value of payments is capped at $1,000.
Furthermore, customers will not have to pay any processing fees for using Bitfinex Pay. However, transaction fees incurred on the relevant blockchain will be borne by online merchants and their customers.
In a release shared with AMBCrypto CTO at Bitfinex Paolo Ardoino said:
Bitfinex Pay enables merchants to be easily equipped to support crypto payments as increasing numbers of consumers become more comfortable with paying for goods and services using digital tokens.
“Eligible” merchants who choose to integrate the widget on their websites will first need to register and verify their Bitfinex account to at least the intermediate level and apply for merchant verification. Merchants can create a sub-account on verification.
