ETH Downtrend might go to $81.11!!!ETH, do not have a major project coming before 16 January (Halving from 3 ETH to 2 ETH per block). But, I think it will not give so much bust. Casper is announced, but it is taking to long, it is one of the reasons because XRP took the second place from ETH in total coin market cap. ETH, goes again to test $105, but looking more into all, it will again test $81, and if that happens before 16 January, it will maybe go even lover. If somehow manage to bounce before, it has a chance to go $150 when "reword" for mining cuts from 3-2 eth per block. I love Ethereum project myself, but this is a sad truth. They have to go "bigger" and the Raiden network needs to come faster, and start to use that, that will give a major boost to ETH, because it will easily do microtransaction like 1,000,000 per sec. Than can ETH go to the second, place again in total market cap.
But, for now, we just have to accept that ETH will fall down much more!

ETH and upcoming Constantinople Hard Fork on Jan 16Project Metropolis for ETH
Stage 1 - Byzantium - Oct 16, 2017
Stage 2 - Constantinople - Jan 16, 2019
Previous action during stage 1 upgrade
On Oct 12, 2017, ETH had a price spike from $302 -> $346, with a significant increase in volume starting around 20:00 (UTC -8:00), and with the peak around 11:00 the following day, roughly a 15hr time frame. 24hr volume nearly tripled during this same period. The higher price levels held steady until Oct 15, around 22:00 when a strong selloff occurred, right before the Byzantium upgrade was performed. By the end of the sell off, the price had dropped past previous support levels to $291 by Oct 19, and $218 by Oct 23. Keep in mind this was during a strong bull market.
Recap of previous action during stage 1 upgrade
Oct 12: $302 -> $346 (+13%)
Oct 15-18: $340 -> $291 (-14%)
News
On Jan 16, developers have agreed to hard fork Ethereum. This is the second stage for Metropolis, with the goal to help Ethereum network to be more efficient, quicker, and less expensive.
Potentional price action
Can we expect similar action as we approach the upcoming Byzantium upgrade? It's a bit early to tell, but it's important to watch more closely as the date nears. If volume starts increasing, we could see a significant 10-15% price increase, and rapid selloff just before the upgrade occurs.
Currently we had a price breakout following a falling wedge (blue), as bears ran out of strength near the previous support levels around $112. You'll notice the candles got small right before the upward breakout. The breakout pushed the price all the way up to $140. A new upward trend (purple) could be forming. Moving forward, it's important to watch the price action near the lower trend line (purple), and the next line of resistance (red). If the lower trend line holds, and the line of resistance is broken, then we might see a solid upswing approaching Constantinople. Overall, I like the current the price action and I'm feeling bullish as Constantinople approaches.
Keep in mind overall market is bearish right now. But we are heading into the new year, a time when sentiment is generally positive and people are feeling good.
ETH FLASH CRASH?!?!
Markets continue to bleed day after day and we witnessed something insane yesterday
ETH/USDC had a flash crash
As always with these crashes, algos most likely were the culprit as ETH prices saw a collapse to $13 before snapping back all the to $101.0
Whether bids got filled or not is up in the air and could very well have just been an exchange glitch.....if someone did get lucky enough to fill they walked away with a near 700% gain
If you do have some spare change, its never a bad idea to place SUPER low bids on various majors through various exchanges to catch a lottery ticket
Thanks guys!
ETH is breaking down. Sellers capitulating! DCA!We are getting another chance to get in this Dog and buy small amounts under $200. DO NOT BLOW YOUR WAD on this dog. I am buying small amounts at every new low and will buy bigger amounts the lower we go. When I am finished buying on the way down, I will wait for the next pop and begin selling into the frenzy. We could be in this downward trend for a month or more. I am watching the short interest and it is rising, but not much. It really looks like traders are done holding this dog for now. But it's not about today, it's about tomorrow -- and there is still money on the sidelines waiting to get in. When they see their low price target met the bears will get squeezed again. My original target for ETH was around $25. I took some heat for that prediction. I said we would see $200 before we saw $500 and I took some more heat for that prediction. Now I think we could very well be witnessing the full breakdown of ETH. I am hoping to scalp on the squeeze and hold some for free for the long term.
I have been buying on the lower lows since we hit $198 on Coinbase Pro. SMALL AMOUNTS! Nothing CRAZY. This is not a get rich tactic but a scalp playing the odds! Always do your own DD before buying risky investments and know what your buying and when to buy and when to exit. Stick to your predefined trading rules without question and take profits off the table fast. I am looking for 15+ percent ROI for a period of 2 months.
