Here's Why Peter Brandt Won't Use 'Enemy' Cash to Buy Ethereum

The once-glorious digital currencies are no longer deemed such, at least in the medium term, given the current nosedive in prices and valuation.  With the overall crypto market capitalization falling to $858.7 billion at the time of writing, the industry is undergoing a significant downturn, with Ether, the native token of the Ethereum blockchain, taking the largest damage.  Ethereums price has dropped from its all-time high (ATH) of $4,891.70 in November 2021 to $1,065.35, after falling to a multi-year low of $896.11 over the weekend. Given this prognosis, Peter Brandt, one of the most prominent commentators in the digital currency industry, is not optimistic about the future of Ethereum.  According to the graphic below, Brandt believes the price of Ethereum could fall as low as $300. While investors and Ethereum bulls may view this as a bearish call, analysts stated that “targets are not holy — sometimes they are hit, sometimes they are not, sometimes they are exceeded.”  Despite his prediction and a dash of uncertainty, Brandt is not urging anyone to pile up on Ethereum at the present, stating that he would not even use his “Enemys Money” to buy Ethereum at this time.  The digital currency ecosystem is no stranger to expert price

The Gemini exchange followed suit, laying off 10% of its employees. Unlike these two rival behemoths, Binance has stated that it

Kraken to Follow Binance in Hiring Over 500 Employees Amid Crypto Crash

Despite rising fears about the unfolding crypto-economic catastrophe, Kraken exchange has made the audacious statement that it does not intend to lay off any employees.  Kraken claimed in a recent blog post that many of its employees have been questioning what the current market outlook means for them, to which the exchange replied that this downturn is not the first of its sort.

Theyve almost tripled since the begining of this month, with 405,000 eth, worth about half a billion, now going long.  Thats up from ◊130,000 on the 6th of May. Another jump on June the 1st sent it from ◊170,000 to ◊270,000.  As eths price continued to fall, a further spike on the 13th of June increased longs to ◊320,000.

In Mark Cuban's Opinion, Cryptocurrency Startups With Strong Fundamentals Will Do Well

Following the collapse of the total crypto market capitalization below the $1 trillion level earlier this week, several crypto projects are suffering a severe economic downfall as a result.  In light of the current state of the ecosystem, Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team and an Ethereum maximalist, is supporting ventures in the crypto business with strong fundamentals.  In an interview with Fortune, Cuban stated that events like the one now affecting the crypto business will expose and demolish enterprises that are being sustained by inadequate market fundamentals.  “In stocks and crypto, you will see companies that were sustained by cheap, easy money—but didn‘t have valid business prospects—will disappear,” the Shark Tank investor told Fortune. “Like [Warren] Buffett says, ’When the tide goes out, you get to see who is swimming naked.”  Companies like Celsius are currently unable to meet their withdrawal commitments after suspending this portion of their operations just before the start of the week, proving Cubans point. Several initiatives, including Terra, have failed in the last month, while legacy corporations such as Coinbase, BlockFi, and Gemini have revealed plans to shrink their operations in order to save money.  These are not new to Cuban, but he maintains that

Bitcoin, which is the world’s largest digital currency, lost more than 1% to around $20,933. Other digital coins such as Solana and Avalanche have also taken a price slump.  Ethereum Might Rise Afterall  The price of Ethereum is showing signs of relief as investors and traders adjust to the new environment of rising inflation. Although it is not yet clear how this will affect the long-term trend, it is believed that there is less disposable cash in cryptocurrencies, which could mean that the bulls can still push the price higher.

The price of Ethereum is in an unusual pattern, with bulls taking advantage of the lack of support at around $1,243.89 to push its price higher. The question is whether the bulls have already burned enough cash to reach this level or if they are waiting for a breakout.  The ETH price could

Over the week, Ethereum [ETH] broke down into high volatility after losing its $1,700-support. The recent bearish engulfing has significantly tarnished buying ability under the current market dynamics.  The fall below the $ 1,000-support level pulled ETH to its January 2021 lows. Any near-term bullish comebacks after the recent rejection of lower prices can help ETH test its immediate supply zone.
