Crypto Industry News:
Norway's Central Bank has reached a milestone in its digital currency effort by releasing open source code for the Central Bank's Digital Currency Sandbox (CBDC).
The sandbox available on GitHub is designed to offer an interface for interacting with the test network, enabling functions such as knocking out, burning and transferring ERC-20 tokens, according to the official partner of Norges Bank at CBDC, Nahma.
Nahmii emphasized that the current version of the code does not support the main Ethereum MetaMask wallet and is only available privately to users with appropriate credentials.
In addition to implementing appropriate smart contracts and access controls, Norges Bank's sandbox includes custom frontend and network monitoring tools such as BlockScout and Grafana. Nahmii noticed that the interface also shows a filterable summary of transactions on the web.
Norges Bank announced on Twitter that the prototype CBDC infrastructure in Norway is based on Ethereum technology.
The central bank referred to Ethereum in a blog post on CBDC back in May. Norges Bank said the Ethereum cryptocurrency system is expected to provide a "core infrastructure" for issuing, distributing and destroying central bank digital money, also known as DSPs.
Technical Market Outlook:
The ETH/USD pair has been seen pulling back from the 100% Fibonacci projection located at $1,753. The rally had ended with a Pin Bar candlestick pattern on the H4 time frame chart, so a pull-back towards the technical support seen at the level of $1,685 was done. The momentum is coming off the extremely overbought conditions to the level of fifty, so the outlook remains bullish for ETH on the short-term time frames. The next target for bulls is located at the level of $1,819 and $1,825.

Trading Outlook:
The Ethereum market has been seen making lower highs and lower low since the swing high was made in the middle of the August at the level of $2,029. If the down move will extend, then the next target for bears is located at the level of $1,358. The key technical support for bulls is seen at $1,281.9
