The potential inflation in the United States did not quickly drop to the Federal Reserve's 2% target, and there are signs that the economy is slowing under the impact of aggressive interest rate hikes. There is a fierce debate within the Federal Reserve to adjust the final step of the interest rate hike cycle

Ethereum prices show bearish signs below $1920 against the US dollar. If the support area of $1800 is cleared, ETH may continue to decline

Ethereum prices have been in the range of $1800 to $1900 over the past week.The decrease in whale activity and the flat foreign exchange balance indicate a contemplative mood among ETH traders

Ethereum prices have risen above the resistance level of $1850 against the US dollar.ETH prices are currently trading above $1850 and 55 simple moving averages (4 hours)

After the current overall market adjustment, Ethereum experienced a reversal in the middle of the week. This correction was accompanied by a sharp drop near $1900 and has remained calm since then

Recently, Ethereum has completed its "Shanghai upgrade", with ETH breaking through the $2000 barrier. The surrounding ecosystem of Ethereum Layer-2 has also been hyped, especially after the Airborne drop of Orbitrum, a large amount of funds have poured into the Layer-2 track, which is exceptionally popular.In the past week, the number of transactions on the Ethereum main network was 7.296 million, while the total number of transactions on Layer-2 was 19.469 million, of which Orbitrum alone accounted for 10.405 million transactions, more than half. That is to say, the number of transactions on the L2 track is more than twice that of Ethereum, and the number of transactions for a project on the Arbitrum (10.405 million) is significantly higher than the number of transactions on the Ethereum main network (7.296 million).We know that Layer-2 is the ecological construction layer of Ethereum, and in the future, most of the ecology will migrate. Therefore, it is expected that the prosperity of L2 in the future will surpass that of Ethereum's main network. The ecological explosion of Layer-2 in the future can also be expected.However, after observing ETH's on chain data, it is believed that in terms of price alone, ETH still has some hidden concerns in the long termShort term ETH prices have little impact and remain a hot topic in the marketThe ecological explosion in Layer-2 has resulted in minimal gas consumption. In the past week, the destruction of Ethereum gas was 19818, while the destruction of Arbitrum was only 632, accounting for 3.2%.It should be noted that Arbitrum has been heavily hyped recently, with an on chain activity of 140% compared to Ethereum, but gas accounts for only 3.2%, and other Layer-2 public chains are even lower.It cannot be denied that the surge in ETH from 2020 to 2021 and the decrease in supply have had a significant impact. The ETH2.0 beacon chain has successively pledged over 10 million ETHs, and the EIP1559 agreement has destroyed over 3 million ETHs. After the official conversion of ETH to the POS mechanism in September 2022, the supply decreased by 90%, resulting in deflation since the launch of ETH2.0.All of the above have led to ETH's strength in the secondary market.Layer-2 is one of the future competition tracks and the core battlefield of the Ethereum ecosystem, but it is still mainly hyped, and in this case, gas only accounts for about 5% of the total ETH consumption. However, it is difficult for the ecosystem around Ethereum to grow explosively in a short period of time, as the core applications are still defi, NFT, stable currency, etc., with less demand.The current gas model of Ethereum is still the same as before the ETH2.0 upgrade. The next upgrade is the "Cancun Upgrade", which focuses on significantly reducing transaction fees. V God once said that when Ethereum matures, gas will decrease by 99%. Now, Ethereum processes over 1 million transactions per day. If we want to maintain gas consumption, the number of transactions will need to exceed 100 million.Weinao believes that this will take a relatively long time to achieve, soAfter the hype of "Little Spring" in 2023 is completed, there may still be some pressure on the prices in the ETH secondary market before the next bull market arrives.

In the past 24 hours, the price of Etalum, the second largest secretive company, has skyrocketed by 7% as its network has successfully completed the highly anticipated Shanghai hard fork. However, upgrades enable network participants to recover their bet funds

The Ethereum blockchain is about to receive an important update on April 12th, namely the Shanghai Upgrade. The main purpose of this upgrade is to enable the extraction of Ethereum (ETH) already pledged on the Beacon Chain. Currently, over 17 million Ethereum coins are locked on the Beacon Chain, accounting for over 15% of ETH's total supply.How will this upgrade affect the price and market of ETH? We believe that from multiple perspectives, the upgrade in Shanghai is beneficial for ETH, for the following reasons:Enhancing the attractiveness of beacon chains Beacon chain is a core component of Ethereum's Proof of Rights (PoS) consensus mechanism, which enables Ethereum networks to be more secure, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Currently, to become a verifier of the beacon chain, at least 32 ETHs need to be pledged and cannot be extracted. For some users, this may be a high threshold and risk. After the upgrade in Shanghai, pledgers can freely extract their ETH and rewards, which will reduce the cost and risk of pledging, attract more users to participate in pledging, and increase the security and decentralization of the Ethereum network.Reduce the cost of second tier solutions
