Ethereum - ETH/USD Chart

The ETH/USD rose on Wednesday, after Alchemy, an Ethereum Developer platform, announced a partnership with Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution developer Optimism. After this deal, the developers from the Alchemy platform will be able to integrate Optimistic Rollups into their applications. This will provide users with highly scalable and cost-efficient solutions. The ETH/USD closed at $1,967.83, after placing a high of $1,999.17, and a low of $1,877.58.

Alchemy is a platform that focuses on providing blockchain developers with the fundamental tools required for creating the future of the technology. On Wednesday, Alchemy announced that it had joined forces with Optimism; this team aims to solve the scalability issue in Ethereum with the Optimistic Rollups. These rollups are designed to significantly boost the throughput of Ethereum and reduce the gas fees and network transaction confirmation time. This news about the partnership added gains to the ETH/USD on Wednesday.

Furthermore, the central Bank of Israel has allegedly completed a pilot under the radar, for a central bank digital currency, using the Ethereum technology. According to the report published by BNN Bloomberg, the Bank of Israel (BOI) completed its pilot in an experimental and closed environment, based on Ethereum architecture. This involved the trial issuance of tokens representing digital shekels, and their transfer among digital wallets.

The Bank experimented with the use of Ethereum and non-fungible tokens for a pilot project, as part of its ongoing research into the digital shekel. The BOI also successfully tested its ability to program a transfer of car ownership certificate using NFT, and completed a transaction wherein an NFT payment was the condition of transfer and vice versa. This experiment also added strength to the value of ETH and pushed the ETH/USD higher on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the fiat native public blockchain ecosystem, Public Mint, announced that its blockchain would be natively integrated with the Circle’s USD Coin, to provide a simple gateway to connect the fiat-centric network of Public Mint with the vibrant Defi ecosystem on Ethereum. In simple terms, the Public Mint has integrated with USDC, to offer a bridge to Ethereum. The ETH/USD remains supported, due to optimistic developments surrounding its environment on Wednesday.

The ETH/USD is trading at the 1,921 level, with support over the 1,695 area. On the daily timeframe, the ETH/USD pair is gaining support at 1,695, which is extended by a double bottom pattern, and closing of a Doji candle. The double bottom pattern, in particular, is supporting solid odds of a bullish correction. The ETH/USD pair is likely to face resistance at the 2,283 level on the higher side. The MACD and RSI are still holding in a selling zone; however, we can see a slight bullish reversal in both. Therefore, we should keep an eye on the 1,700 level, in order to capture a buy trade over this level. Good luck!
