The post Ethereum Price Analysis Points to Short-Term Downside Risk appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
TLDR: Ethereum has been forming lower highs since mid-May, with trading volume declining alongside price weakness. The Estimated Leverage Ratio sits near 0.74, showing heavy derivative positioning despite falling ETH prices. Positive funding rates show long positions dominate, yet price fails to respond with any meaningful upside move. A weekly close below $1,850 could trigger a drop toward $1,560, with a deeper target near $1,070 possible. Ethereum is showing signs of growing bearish pressure across multiple market indicators. Price action, leverage data, funding rates, and momentum metrics are all pointing in the same direction. Analysts tracking on-chain and derivatives data say the current setup reflects a market driven more by speculative positioning than by organic buying demand. The overall structure, for now, continues to favor sellers. Leverage and Funding Rates Paint a Con

BTC price continued to trade lower from a few days ago, while Ethereum was holding near to $2000 and XRP was around $1.30.

The post Ethereum (ETH) news: A blockchain lottery plans to use crypto gambling fees to fund Ethereum development appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum core developers may soon get a new source of funding: a blockchain lottery. Decentralized lottery protocol Megapot said Thursday it is teaming up with Protocol Guild, an independent funding collective for Ethereum protocol contributors, to introduce what they describe as the crypto industry’s first programmable charity lottery. Under the arrangement, users can buy tickets for a daily lottery through a dedicated Protocol Guild portal for a chance to win prizes from a pool exceeding $1.1 million. Megapot said 100% of referral fees generated from ticket sales will be automatically distributed by smart contracts to Ethereum developers supported by Protocol Guild. The effort comes as concerns around sustainable funding for Ethereum’s core infrastructure have intensified. While the blockchain underpins billions of dollars in decentral
The post Weekly Close Could Determine Whether Ethereum Will Cost $1,000 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The current weekly close will determine whether Ethereum (ETH) falls toward the $1,000 mark, according to a technical analysis by analyst Ali Martinez. According to his data, a weekly candle close below the key $1,850 support will trigger an acceleration of selling. If this level is broken, the first target of the downward move will be the intermediate support near $1,560, while the final point of the decline within the multiyear channel will be the lower boundary of the range near $1,070.

Crypto analyst The Short Bear has addressed investors who are currently capitulating on Ethereum and offloading their coins. He cited a mistake these investors are currently making that could cost them money when the bull thesis for ETH eventually plays out. Analyst Reveals Misconception Investors Have About Ethereum In an X post, the Short Bear said that many people are mistaken in treating Ethereum like an end-stage Amazon as if the main question is already about mature margins, fees, and cash flows. He explained that, in reality, the layer-1 network is still very much earlier in its economies-of-scale phase, with nearly all metrics in the top-right corner and growing at mid-double-digit to triple-digit rates.
