Ethereum Price Analysis
Fundamentals
The crypto markets may be shaky, but that’s just about it. Fundamentals and other on-chain developments are bullish. Of the many projects whose tokens are depreciating as analysts root for their recovery, Ethereum (ETH) is among them. The platform promotes the original intrinsic values of blockchain, namely decentralization and transparency.
Although it may not score big on scalability, creators are hard at work to overcome this huge stumbling block. That may explain the high number of developers and dApps launching on the platform.
Meanwhile, what creators have on the project’s road map is an assurance that the network is committed to being a preferred launching pad where projects can securely launch their dApps or even crowdfund. After all, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is flexible, executing their mandate while not trying to snuff innovation.
Perhaps in line with this development, Blockchain.com acquired Slock, a German startup and among the first developers of Ethereum. The goal of this merger is to work towards bolstering security and solve existing interoperability issues.

Other than this, notice that ETH is below the middle Bollinger Band (BB). The flexible support was reliable, and this breach is significant for bears. Should bulls fail to recover and prices close below this mark, then the three-bar bear reversal pattern of May 30th will be valid.
In that case, prices could fall to $230, providing an opportunity for aggressive traders to enter at a discount. Any close below $230 will invalidate this bullish outlook as ETH correct back to $190 zone in a typical retest.
