Crypto Industry News:
Industry experts warn of the potential consequences of the Ethereum merger for other cryptocurrencies that run on Proof of Work (PoW) consensus algorithms. With Ethereum moving to the proof-of-stake Beacon Chain, many miners will have a problem. Those who have secured the Ethereum blockchain will look to continue mining in other PoW chains.
Ethereum Classic (ETC) saw its token value increase by more than 10% in early September when blockchain explorer and mining pool operator BTC.com launched the zero-fee ETC pool over a three-month period.
Technical Market Outlook:
The ETH/USD pair had reversed almost all of the recent losses and is currently back below the last local high seen at the level of $1,685. The nearest technical support is located at the level of $1,513 and $1,475. The momentum is strong and positive again on the H4 time frame chart, so the bulls are ready to break above the local high from $1,685 and test the nest technical resistance located at $1,722.
