Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH/USD getting ready for a breakout after new ETH 2.0 Onyx Testnet launch

ETH/USD still looking for that clear $250 break.
Bulls have defended the daily 12-EMA at $237,79 on June 9 and still maintain a daily uptrend.

Lorenzo Stroe Independent Analyst

Ethereum is definitely still bullish despite the lack of price action in the last week. The digital asset peaked at $253.47 on June 2 and has been consolidating ever since. The bulls have managed to defend the daily 12-EMA several times, something that is considered positive in the short-term. Ethereum only needs something to spark a break of $250 and take ETH up to $300.

Ethereum 2.0 closer than ever after the launch of Onyx

Another successful launch for Ethereum 2.0 blockchain. Onyx is being launched by Prysmatic Labs and it’s the last launch before the actual mainnet that will convert Ethereum’s current proof-of-work consensus mechanism into a proof-of-stake one.

Ethereum 2.0 is almost ready to be launched although a lot of enthusiasts believe that it may be delayed again. A successful transition would be great news for Ethereum and its price and could be the trigger of a new bull rally, perhaps to ATHs again.

XRP approaches key support as risk-off sentiment deepens

Ripple (XRP) is trading at $1.06 on Monday, maintaining its position within a broader bearish trend. The token’s technical outlook continues to deteriorate, pressured by declining retail participation. Appetite for risk assets remains lethargic, as reflected in the Fear & Greed Index, which is embedded in the Fear territory at 28.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline amid renewed risk-averse sentiment

The cryptocurrency market remains weak on Monday, with Bitcoin (BTC) falling toward the nearest $62,000. Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) reflect the sell-off across altcoins, edging lower toward $1,800 and $1.05, respectively. Risk appetite remains subdued, as the Fear & Greed Index holds steady at 28, deep within Fear territory.

The Bitcoin futures yield collapse: Once over 20%, now less than Treasury notes

Once a goldmine for carry traders, Bitcoin futures have flipped, consistently underperforming plain‑vanilla U.S. Treasuries every month since February. Carry trades consistently yielded 20% or more across regulated and unregulated crypto exchanges during the 2021 bull market. The strategy involved shorting Bitcoin futures while simultaneously buying a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).

The crypto market is moving in the opposite direction to equities

The crypto market’s market capitalisation has fallen by 1% over the past 24 hours, returning to levels last seen in mid-July. The positive momentum the market showed in the first half of last week failed to take hold. Once again, we are seeing a negative correlation with the Nasdaq 100 index, this time in the form of falling cryptocurrencies while shares rise. Could this be becoming the new norm?

Bitcoin: Bulls hold the line

Bitcoin (BTC) edges slightly lower, trading at $64,300 at the time of writing on Friday but holding firmly above a key support zone. US-listed spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) support BTC as they continued to attract institutional flows through Thursday, pointing to the fourth consecutive week of net inflows.
