  • ETH is trading near $2,940 range after a brief recovery, with support at $2,925 and resistance at $2,975

Ethereum Attempts A Rebound, But The Price Dips Again

According to CMC data, yesterday, ETH started to rebound, gradually moving up from $2,928, then crossing $2,990 and even touching above the $3,000 resistance level, and formed the highest range near $3,040-$3,050. 

Then, earlier today, ETH dropped around $2,925, but has started to move up slightly. At the time of writing,  ETH is trading near $2,944.34, reflecting a 3.25% decline over the last 24 hours. Its market capitalization stands at  $355.36 billion.  As ETH is currently trading 40.5% below its all-time high zone. 

Also, Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) released a press release on Monday,  where they had bought around  44,463 ETH last week, and pushed the overall holdings to 4.1 million ETH, as this value is about 3.41% of the whole ETH supply. Although the institutional buying remained strong, ETH has since traded lower today.

What’s Next for ETH?

Technical indicators continue to show bearish momentum, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hanging around 41, indicating weak purchasing strength while remaining above oversold levels.

Meanwhile, the MACD displays the blue line below the signal line, which is a bearish crossover, indicating that sellers presently have more influence than buyers. Together, these indicators hint at continued downside pressure for Ethereum, with no strong confirmation of a positive turnaround at the moment.

Ethereum’s immediate support is near $2,925, and a drop below this level could see support at $2,900, then further weakness potentially testing the next support near $2,875. On the upside, $2,975 remains a near-term resistance, while $3,000- $3,050 remains a key breakout level for regaining bullish momentum.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors.

While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark.
