Crypto markets soar after Fed commits to printing and Evergrande plans to pay its debt

The cryptocurrency ecosystem is showing signs of a recovery on Sept. 22 following a 48-hour corrective stint which saw Bitcoin and altcoins sell-off to their swing lows. Equities and crypto investors were clearly worried about the possible bankruptcy of China’s Evergrande real estate firm and many feared that the possible default could spark a global decline in financial markets.These concerns were temporarily put to rest after the real estate firm was able to come to an agreement with bondholders and avoid defaulting on its obligations technically, and this helped to spark a recovery across the cryptocurrency market that lifted Bitcoin (BTC) to a daily high at $44,000. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that since reaching a low of $39,572 on the evening hours of Se...

Ethereum ‘head & shoulders’ chart pattern puts ETH price at risk of dropping to $2K

Ethereum's native token Ether (ETH) rates may fall to a two-month low after it slid below support at around $2,954, based on a classic trading pattern.The $2,954 level represents a so-called neckline constituting a head and shoulders setup. In detail, the said support level appears to be a floor to three peaks, with the middle one (HEAD) higher than the other two (SHOULDERS).

Ethereum eyes $6.5K bullish target as ETH price chart paints ‘cup and handle’

Ethereum blockchain’s native asset, Ether (ETH), faces the prospect of exploding toward $6,500 in the coming sessions.ETH looks like a cup and handle too. Thoughts?— Raoul Pal (@RaoulGMI) September 15, 2021The bullish analogy takes cues from a textbook technical pattern dubbed “cup and handle.” In detail, a cup and handle structure develops after the price first rallies significantly to the upside and then corrects to carve out a rounding bottom, called the “cup.”The move follows a rebound toward the prior high and a failed breakout attempt above the said level. As a result, the price pulls back once again and grinds out a smaller rounding bottom, called the “handle.”Ultimately, the price returns to a prior high for the second time and breaks out successfully, resulting in a move equal to ...
