Fundamental Analysis:

MicroStrategy, a company primarily focused on Bitcoin, recently fell victim to a cybersecurity breach involving a fake airdrop of an "official" MSTR token based on Ethereum. The phishing scam led to significant losses, with over $440,000 reported stolen. A notable transaction saw one user lose altcoins worth approximately $424,786 to a known hacker group, PinkDrainer. The incident underscores the continual need for vigilance against cyber threats within the cryptocurrency industry.

Interestingly, industry experts, including the pseudonymous UK crypto investor Cobie, quickly pointed out the implausibility of MicroStrategy launching an Ethereum-based token, given their Bitcoin-centric strategy. This highlights the importance of critical analysis and awareness in the crypto space to avoid falling prey to scams.

Technical Analysis:

Ethereum has soared to the highest levels seen in the year 2024, signaling strong market confidence. This milestone is supported by robust technical indicators, with 21 out of 23 suggesting a 'Buy' signal, and 15 out of 18 moving averages favoring the upside. The price action showcases Ethereum's remarkable resilience and bullish momentum in the face of broader market challenges.

However, the chart analysis reveals signs of caution. The emergence of bearish divergence along with the formation of doji candlesticks indicates possible hesitation among traders. These patterns often precede a reversal or a consolidation phase, especially when an asset reaches a significant milestone such as a yearly high.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 73.30, has entered the overbought territory. This level often prompts traders to assess the sustainability of the current trend, considering the potential for a pullback or sideways movement following such a rapid ascent.

Market Scenarios:

Bullish Scenario: Maintaining its current trajectory, Ethereum may test further resistance levels. The weekly resistance points stand as the next challenge, with WR3 at $3,041 being the next notable ceiling to overcome. A sustained move above this level could further cement the bullish outlook for Ethereum.

Bearish Scenario: A bearish divergence could lead to a price correction. Should Ethereum retreat, the weekly pivot point at $2,896 provides the first support level, followed by WS1 at $2,865 and WS2 at $2,824. A fall below these levels might see Ethereum testing further support down to WS3 at $2,751. With the RSI signaling overbought conditions and the presence of bearish divergence, a retracement could occur. Key support levels at the weekly pivot point of $2,896, followed by WS1 at $2,865 and WS2 at $2,824, will be crucial for traders to monitor. A break below these supports could trigger a sell-off towards WS3 at $2,751, potentially resetting the bullish narrative.

Important Notice

The begginers in forex trading need to be very careful when making decisions about entering the market. Before the release of important reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid being caught in sharp market fluctuations due to increased volatility. If you decide to trade during the news release, then always place stop orders to minimize losses.

Without placing stop orders, you can very quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade large volumes. For successful trading, you need to have a clear trading plan and stay focues and disciplined. Spontaneous trading decision based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for a scalper or daytrader.
