Ethereum price is close to reclaiming the area lost during
yesterday’s downside action while Bitcoin slowly crawls back into
$19,000. The second cryptocurrency by market cap is about to
experience a major event with high potential to operate as a
bullish catalyst, “The Merge”. Related Reading: Miner Sends Bitcoin
To Binance, 4th Largest Transaction In 2 Months At the time of
writing, Ethereum price trades at $1,570 with a 3% profit over the
past week. As Bitcoin was pushed down by a fresh leg down, market
participants see ETH as the potential savior of the sector. Will
Bulls Or Bears Take Control Of The Ethereum Price? Due to its
importance, many experts are speculating about the potential for
“The Merge”, the transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to
Proof-of-Stake (PoS), to support a relief rally in the market.
Others believe the event will operate as a “Buy the rumor, sell the
news event”. The latter often happens when there is a widely
expected event in the sector which leads to a rally followed by a
sudden crash shortly after the hype dissipates. Next week, the U.S.
Federal Reserve will publish its Consumer Price Index (CPI) print,
a metric used to measure inflation. Economist Alex Krüger claims
the CPI print might provide support for risk-on assets to rally. In
the past, cryptocurrencies have trended to the upside after this
event. Together with “The Merge”, Ethereum price seems poised for
upside volatility. The expert said on the potential set-up for ETH
traders: If trading $ETH directionally for the merge probably want
to go long into the event with stops right above the August lows
and shoot for a 1700 break to take the price into the 1800-2100
range. Whether ETH’s price can sustain the bullish momentum post
“Merge”, Krüger believes that this will depend on the strength of
the price action. If Ethereum can run hot into the event, the price
might be able to flip key resistance levels into support. Can “The
Merge” Trigger A New Crypto Bull Run? Despite its importance,
Krüger believes “The Merge” might be unable to push the crypto
market into price discovery. Legacy financial markets are trending
downside, alongside cryptocurrencies. This is the most important
overhead resistance only a couple of days before this event. Krüger
added: Fundamentally the merge improves ETH attractiveness via
lower energy consumption and more importantly vastly improved
tokenomics (…). That is highly likely not enough to kickstart a
bull market by itself. Need a bull market in equities for that. To
me the idea of $ETH decoupling is what I call a pipedream. If
equities bounce with the CPI print, crypto will find further
support. However, macro conditions might continue to remain
unfavorable for the rest of 2022 as hinted by Fed Chair Jerome
Powell. Related Reading: Why Extreme Fear Is Back In Crypto In A

Editorial Director Tony Spilotro looks into the current market
conditions and why a decline in Bitcoin dominance might hint at a
new Altcoin Season. This could have positive implications for
Ethereum price heading into “The Merge”. Take a look.
