Ethereum (ETH) has fallen below the $3,500
Ethereum (ETH) has fallen below the $3,500 level and continues to fall due to panic selling by short-term holders. However, long-term holders remain inactive and the decline in exchange reserves may indicate that the decline is temporary. Still, the decline is significant and ETH could fall to the psychological $3,000 level and give up most of its post-election gains.
ETH rebounded strongly on Wednesday after plummeting to a low of $3,521 the day before, rising nearly 6% to break above the 20-day EMA and close at $3,834. On Thursday, buyers attempted to break above $4,000 as ETH reached an intraday high of $3,988. However, it could not hold at this level and fell to $3,882, ultimately gaining 1.26%. On Friday, buyers remained in control and ETH rose slightly, breaking above $3,900 and closing at $3,907. However, on Saturday, ETH retreated, falling nearly 1% to $3,869.

On Sunday, buyers returned to the market and ETH rose 2.25% to break $3,900 and close at $3,956. ETH faced considerable volatility on Monday as buyers and sellers struggled to establish control. Buyers eventually prevailed and ETH rose slightly to close at $3,985, still unable to break the $4,000 mark. On Tuesday, the market sentiment changed and ETH fell more than 2% to $3,892. On Wednesday, the bearish sentiment intensified and ETH fell below the 20-day moving average after falling nearly 7% to close at $3,625. On Thursday, buyers attempted to rebound and ETH rose to an intraday high of $3,763. However, after reaching this level, they lost momentum and allowed sellers to take the lead. As a result, ETH plunged nearly 6% and fell below the $3,500 level to stabilize at $3,416. In the current trading session, ETH is slightly down as sellers continue to push prices lower.
If the bulls fail to step in and arrest the decline, ETH could drop to $3,000. On the other hand, if ETH can rebound from current levels, it could revisit the $3,500 level.

Going nowhere fast is an apt description of the national average for a gallon of gas, which shed les
Going nowhere fast is an apt description of the national average for a gallon of gas, which shed less than a penny since last week to reach $3.02. It has been close to the $3 level for five weeks yet faces stubborn resistance. Meanwhile, today’s national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station remained at 34 cents.
“I’d like to say that the national average will fall under $3 soon, but now I’m not so confident,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “It appears to be stuck despite low demand and cheaper oil. But 31 states already have an average below $3.”
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand rose just a bit from 8.73 million b/d last week to 8.81, about 50,000 b/d lower than the same week in 2023. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose from 214.6 million barrels to 219.7, while gasoline production increased last week, averaging 10.0 million barrels daily.
Crypto’s Most Active Coins: Chainlink, Cardano and Hedera Rank Highest in Development
According to analytics platform Santiment, Internet Computer (ICP) leads the list of top cryptocurrencies based on notable development activity over the past 30 days. Chainlink $LINK comes in second place, with Hedera $HBAR in third place. These rankings are based on recent activities of developers in each project’s codebase and technology.
The rankings also reveal directional trends. ICP continued to dominate the rankings with significant trading volumes, while $LINK and $HBAR maintained constant trading. StarkNet (STRK) also showed an upward movement, taking the fourth spot.
On the other hand, Cardano $ADA dropped to fifth place, indicating that relative development activity decreased. Other projects on the list include Optimism $OP in sixth place, Polkadot $DOT in seventh place and Kusama $KSM in eighth place.
Rising and falling trends in the ranking
Some projects experienced noticeable changes in momentum. DeFiChain (DFI) rose to ninth place, with signs of increased development activity in the project. Similarly, SUSD (SUSD) also ranked tenth with increased activity, as observed in the chart. On the other hand, $ADA , $OP , $DOT and $KSM saw a decline in their positions compared to the previous month. Some of these changes may reflect differences in strategic direction or priorities among the teams.
Development activity is usually linked to the sustainability of long-term projects and creativity. The higher the rank, the more committed the developers are, and there are frequent updates, which can interest investors and contribute to the development of the ecosystem.
The year 2024 has been very favorable for the crypto market. Bitcoin reached $100,000, the global legal and regulatory environment is evolving, and large financial companies are entering the market.
According to Statista, Bitcoin and Ethereum together had a market share of more than half of the entire market in 2024. At the same time, the newcomers tried to maintain their positions among alternative currencies, such as Polkadot $DOT .
Crypto’s Expanding Influence Among American Voters
The adoption of crypto continues to increase in American politics, as evidenced by a survey from Emerson College that found 20% of voters had an active involvement with digital assets. Of these voters, 37% had purchased cryptocurrencies, showing their use as a payment tool.
The survey showed that crypto users are younger, more diverse and are mostly male. More than 57% of these users reported positive feelings towards Donald Trump, which is consistent with the former president’s positive view of cryptocurrencies as well as his appointments of crypto enthusiasts to key positions within the government. The survey found that voters under 40 were the most likely to own cryptocurrencies, while usage was very low among people over 40.
The study also indicated that more men than women used cryptocurrencies as they were twice as likely to do so. In addition, a higher percentage of crypto users were people from minority groups, underlining the inclusive nature of the industry.
