Ethereum (ETH) Price Analysis: End of Growth of Bounce to $250
Yesterday there was no sharp pressure from sellers, and the ETH/USD pair maintained its presence in the area of the Point-of-Control (PoC) line ($243.36)

This morning, buyers tried to break through the $247 resistance, but that growth was occurring with medium volumes. If the bulls do not increase their onslaught, then the holding in the zone of monthly maximums will flop, with the pair possibly rolling back to the two-hour moving average EMA55.

Looking at the 4H chart, Ethereum still has enough strength to move up as there was a bounce at $237, followed by an increase in trading volume. There is also a high level of liquidity between the $240 and $245 area. In this particular case, the most likely scenario that will take place in a short amount of time is a bounce towards the $245 resistance level.

Looking at the daily chart, pressure from the bulls is increasing, and is confirmed by the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD), which is about to enter the green. Furthermore, the volume level of trading has not dropped. In short, there is a high probability of Ethereum (ETH) trading at $255 within the next few days.
Grayscale Falls Victim to Phishing Scam
Ryan Sean Adams, Founder of Mythos Capital, and a seasoned cryptocurrencies investor, received a very strange letter. It turns out that he’s not the only one.
According to a screenshot of the letter, the fraudster(s) are impersonating Michael Sonnenshein, Managing Director at Grayscale Investments. According to the letter, the fake “Sonnenshein” is asking for feedback on Grayscale’s products and are offering two programs.

This scam appears to be more amateurish in design. The impersonator(s) use a ‘Graysceal’ domain and not a ‘Grayscale’ domain, which is an incredibly old strategy. The letter is also full of grammatical errors and looks like it was written in a rush.
The logic of the letter is also broken as the author(s) offer two of Grayscale’s most popular products after asking whether they are “useful”.
The scammer(s) are trying to lure gullible investors with addresses, claiming that Grayscale can raise funds from even unqualified investors “on an exceptional basis”, hinting at the larger investment requirement for this shady “exception”.
The letter contains two backlinks and asks for an answer. So, it is highly likely that the fraudster(s) may steal personal financial information.
Bitcoin (BTC) Drops Twice and $25M in Longs Wiped Out
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) dropped from $9,668 to $9,262 after two waves of long liquidations occurred on BitMEX< the world-leading Bitcoin (BTC) derivatives trading platform.
According to Cryptowatch, the firth liquidation wave occurred between 08:15 AM and 09:00 AM (UTC), and the second wave occurred in one ten-minute candle at 11:30 AM (UTC).

With the first wave, about $6.5 million in longs were wiped out, and about $18.6 million was wiped out in the second wave.
Following the morning drop, Bitcoin had recovered slightly, and was changing hands at $9,370 on major spot exchanges.
Analysts and traders have pointed out that the levels are crucial for the Bitcoin (BTC) bulls in order to maintain their control. Most of them are not treating this drop as a sign of the bears taking over the price of the flagship cryptocurrency.
Anonymous trader Jack Sparrow identified $9,138 as a crucial level for the bulls. It is at this level where Bitcoin (BTC) had its free-fall, aka Black Thursday. Scott Melker, a seasoned trader and analyst thinks that $9,260 is extremely crucial to hold. If the support level can be maintained, then Bitcoin (BTC) may return above $9,500 shortly.
The next support level for the 50-day moving average is around $9,552 and holding above this support level would mean another rally.
