Aug.13-Aug.19(ETH)Weekly market recapLast week, the U.S. Department of Labor released CPI data for July, which was slightly better than expected. Afterwards, U.S. stocks started an upward trend that lasted for a week, and gold recently refreshed its ATH, further pricing in interest rate cuts. The performance of crypto market has been weaker than other markets, with BTC and ETH almost at the same price level as a week ago. On Friday, Powell will speak at the annual meeting in Jackson Hole. The market has basically acquiesced that interest rates will be cut in September. The point of disagreement is whether to cut interest rates by 25 bp or 50 bp.
Cash-flows to the BTC ETF and ETH ETF have been subdued over the past seven days. This is in contrast to the US stock market. It seems that the enthusiasm of traditional funds for crypto is gradually declining. This also reflects that funds may be flowing to other assets.
Unlike BTC, ETH performed more weakly last week. Still in a downward trend overall. There was barely any rebound from the bulls, with trading volume significantly below past averages. The ME indicator maintains the bearish trend and the yellow wavy area widens further. On the WTA indicator, like BTC, there is no blue column representing whales.
To sum up, we believe that ETH may remain volatile this week, with the downside probability being greater than the upside. We maintain our original resistance level of 2800 and support level of 2400.
