Ethereum surges for first time since mid-June

For the first time since mid-June, the momentum continued from a cooler than expected US inflation data and progress toward Ethereum s big upgrade, as well as the fact that it briefly surpassed $25,000 for the first time since mid-June.

The largest criptocurrency rose by as much as 2.2% to $25,031, its highest level since June 13. It was trading around $24,750 as of 6 a.m. New York time, rising a fifth day in a row fueled by US consumer-price index data that came in below expectations. The price of the currency went up by as much as 2% to $2,030. On Saturday, 50 had exceeded $2,000 for the first time since May 31 amid optimism about the completion of its software upgrade known as the Merge.

In a note Friday, Fundstrat digital-asset strategist Sean Farrell said that the next CPI print will be released a mere two days before the Merge, at which point we expect a lot of pre-event momentum to be baked into the market. Long and medium-term investors should look at any dips as buying opportunities. The Federal Reserve hiked rates to combat stubbornly high inflation during the first half of the year, with the prices ofBitcoin, Ether and other tokens falling by more than 50%. With the US inflation data coming in below expectations in the past week, potentially paving the way for tighter action from the Fed. Risk assets like the Nasdaq 100 Index have advanced and have helped foster gains in crypto, which has been strongly correlated with that stocks gauge for months.

According to Farrell, the balance of wrappedBitcoin, which can be used as collateral in decentralized finance onEthereum, is a rising in stable coin velocity that points to more on-chain activity, despite an increase in the balance of wrappedBitcoin, which can be used as collateral in decentralized finance onEthereum.

The co-founder Vitalik Buterin said after a final test stage known as Goerli that the Ethereum blockchain s Merge is likely to happen around Sept. 15, in addition to positive developments for Ether. The merge represents a transition in how Ether tokens are minted and transactions are validated, away from mining blocks using complex computational puzzles using the proof-of-work method and toward proof-of- stake. According to Genesis Global Trading, some investors are positioning to benefit from a possible fork that would preserve proof-of-work Ether.

The post-Merge tokenomics are a speculative element that is still unknown, as well as by overall sentiment, according to Genesis strategists Noelle Acheson and Willis Croft in a note Friday. Since the lows of the beginning of the year, the volatility has jumped, which reflects the growing interest and serves as a reminder to the wider investing universe that compelling narratives in the criptocurrency markets are never far away, even though taking a breather over the past few days.
