Ethereum Price Slashes Hard With the Release of the Fresh CPI Rates! Can The Merger Revive The Rally?

The post Ethereum Price Slashes Hard With the Release of the Fresh CPI Rates! Can The Merger Revive The Rally? appeared first on Coinpedia – Fintech & Cryptocurreny News Media| Crypto Guide

The highly anticipated US CPI rates are out and as expected, the market has collapsed heavily. The Bitcoin price dropped close to $21,600 while the Ethereum price squashed close to $1600. The markets remained highly unstable since the early trading hours as the inflation rates were expected to decrease a little. 

Despite the current drop, the ETH price still remains within a bullish pattern, and market participants hope for a rebound at the earliest. 

The ETH price recorded a huge bearish candle with the highest ever hourly volume since the beginning of September. While the price continues to hold within the ascending triangle, the possibility of a rebound emerges. The asset is required to hold the $1600 support zone firmly and initiate a flip, or else it faces the possibility of a massive crash. 

On a positive note, the market sentiments are increasingly positive toward the upcoming Ethereum Merger. This could lead to raising the ETH price. 

It’s important to closely watch the price trends around the day’s close, as a bearish close could scotch the raising sentiments that could have held the ETH price above the crucial support. 

Hence, the day’s close will prove to be immensely important for Ethereum & the upcoming Ethereum Merger.
