Ethereum price soars above $3K into ‘red zone,’ triggering sell-off fears
Ethereum’s native asset, Ether (ETH), crossed above $3,000 in an extended upside rally on Saturday, hitting a three-month high. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency’s incredible move upward also boosted its possibilities of facing a bearish backlash. An on-chain indicator that tracks the total percentage of Ethereum addresses in profits predicted the said downside outlook. In detail, the so-called “Ethereum: Percent of Addresses in Profits” indicator by Glassnode reached 96.4% amid the ETH/USD price rally. Lex Moskovski, chief investment officer of Moskovski Capital, highlighted the metric’s capability of predicting Ether’s top. In hindsight, whenever the Glassnode indicator crossed the 90%-threshold, it resulted in …

3 reasons why Ethereum can hit $3K in the short term despite overvaluation risks
Ethereum’s native asset, Ether (ETH), dropped after reclaiming its two-month high in the previous session, suggesting that its recent bullish rally was nearing exhaustion. In detail, the ETH/USD pair topped out at $2,699 on Sunday for the first time since June 7. The pair’s peak level also pushed its relative strength index (RSI), a momentum-gauging indicator, above 70 — a mark that analysts consider overbought. Seemingly, traders with short-term risk setups sold the Ether top to secure interim profits, leading up to a modest downside correction. On Monday, Ether prices rose 1.81% to $2,600 to offset the Sunday sell-off risks. …

Cardano risks 60%-90% drop, warns trader with ADA painting a classic bearish pattern
Cardano is close to attaining the title of a fully-fledged smart contracts platform following a critical upgrade in mid-July. The project's founder Charles Hoskinson confirmed that they recently processed the sales of more than $10 million worth of non-fungible tokens atop their public ledger. Moreover, SundaeSwap, the first DeFi DEX to utilize Cardano smart contracts is expected to launch soon, and many ADA investors interpret this as a potential bullish catalyst for the altcoin. But the Ethereum rival's growth as a project might not lead to higher adoption for its native cryptocurrency, ADA, at least according to an analysis shared …

Altcoins pump while traders anticipate a lower support test from Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) bulls are locked in a battle with bears to take control of the $40,000 level and dovish comments from the United States Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, suggest that loose monetary policies will remain in place for the foreseeable future.

VORTECS™ Spotlight: Here’s why Telcoin’s (TEL) rebound eclipsed most altcoins
Last week, as Bitcoin resurged after briefly falling below $30,000, a good number of altcoins embarked on their own relief rallies. Telcoin (TEL) was among this large group of digital assets whose prices shot up on July 21. Unlike most of its peers, however, TEL’s upward trend remained alive for the entire week, leading to a respectable 82% gain against the dollar and a 43% gain against Bitcoin (BTC) over a seven-day period. Given the market dynamics of the time, many traders may simply attribute this performance to a marketwide oversold bounce — but was there a way for traders …
