Ether's (ETH) $1.5 billion monthly expiry on June 25 was slightly favorable for bears, and at the time, Cointelegraph reported that the $2,200 price was critical to eliminate 73% of the neutral-to-bearish put options. However, bulls were not able to sustain their advantage because the expiry price was near $1,950. In the end, the protective put options outnumbered the neutral-to-bullish call options by $30 million. Fast forward to July, and after a noticeable 10% rally, Ether's price again struggles to sustain the $2,100 support. Bitcoin's negative 3.5% performance could partially explain last week's price move, but the London hard fork scheduled for this month could also be responsible. The proposal EIP-1559 will cap gas fees, making it more predictable for users. However, miners' revenue will be negatively impacted. Any pushback from miners could delay Eth 2.0 even more, which could be a reason for the recent price weakness.Source

Tether is in headlines again as the founder of the centralized stablecoin Broke Pierce tweeted on 17 June that he was proud to lead a group of Bitcoin ambassadors to El Salvador. The crypto community prides itself as having no central leader, as such the comment wasn’t seen in good faith.
LN Strike takes the dollars in your bank accounts, converts them to BTCs over Lightning, moves them across, before converting them to Tether USDT. It’s then credited to the user account on the destination side. Tether doesn’t have a good reputation however. In utopia, one Tether USDT in circulation should be backed by 1 USD in the company’s reserves. But that’s not the case, far from it. The centralized stablecoin’s composition was revealed in a previous report, as part of it’s ongoing investigation with the New York Attorney General office on May 13, 2021.source

ETH/USD had been showing signs of decoupling from BTC/USD since late April. But the real test was to come when the latter started making significant moves. The last couple of weeks have decisively put paid to any such notions. Bullish developments in Bitcoin this past week seemed to affect all altcoins adversely, as ETH/USD closed the week at $2,510 in a dark cloud cover pattern, down 7.5% from the previous week. ETH/BTC broke down from a rising wedge pattern on Wednesday (charted below) and has since continued to slide down, acquiring the breakout target of 0.062 BTC during Asian trading hours on Monday. ETH2 ETH/BTC has dropped below 50ma on the daily for the first time since breaking out from a falling wedge at the beginning of April. This is now likely to flip to resistance. An RSI double bottom recovery is something to keep an eye on over the next couple of days. A daily close above the previous swing high would confirm the reversal pattern. Looking at the ETH/USD chart below, while the primary trend line dating back to January still holds, the pair is currently on shakier ground than it’s ever been in the past few months unless an immediate recovery materializes.Source

Financial services company Charles Schwab senior vice president Liz Ann Sonders has said bitcoin’s growth towards an inflation hedge and store of value is in doubt after the digital asset plunged by at least 50% from the April 14th all-time high of $64,800. Speaking to TD Ameritrade Network, Sonders noted that after the price correction, it is hard to predict bitcoin’s next move following the 2021 rally. According to Sonders, the bitcoin price slump emerged when the asset was most needed amid rising inflation in years.
I have no clue about what bitcoin is going to do in the near term, medium term, what we saw in the period where you basically got cut in half and only a few weeks time sort of puts a question mark around the store of value. A lot of people say, well, it’s an inflation hedge, interesting that it got cut in half at the exact point that we finally after decades started to see this pick up in inflation,” said Sonders.Source
