Ethereum Looks Poised For Another Strong Uptrend

Ethereum continues to shape up well and looks poised for another strong uptrend. There are a few things that intrigue me about Ethereum as we approach the fall of 2021. First, as the push for DeFi, or decentralized finance, continues, I believe Ethereum will play a dominant role in the coming months and years. This is because as blockchain is used to offer traditional financial services much of this traffic is likely to go through the Ethereum network. While Bitcoin is currently the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, it just does not have the capability to do what Ethereum can do. Although it is the world's second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum is actually the most widely-used blockchain. It is important to note the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin’s main purpose is to be a digital currency-a form of payment or a store of value, sort of like a "digital gold." Ethereum, on the other hand, offers an open-source operating system which allows for the creation of dApps (decentralized apps). Whereas Bitcoin decentralized money, Ethereum opens the possibility to decentralize many other things.

From a technical perspective, Ethereum has been performing really well over the past month. I’ve already purchased Ethereum multiple times this year, but will undoubtedly add to it should another entry point present itself. There are few things I really like about Ethereum’s action this summer. First, the consistent support above the $1,750 level is a sign of strong support. In addition, the fact that the 40-week moving average was not lost during the recent correction demonstrates accumulation. I also like the fact that the 10-week moving average has started to turn up as Ether's chart forms an elegant cup and handle pattern. I will be monitoring Ethereum closely in the coming weeks to see if I can add to my position off the 50-day moving average or through a heavy volume breakout above recent resistance.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
