We need a new positive consolidation and a rise in prices above $ 48,000 and above moving averages.
Then again, we come to the resistance zone at $ 49000-49500, with additional resistance in the upper trend line.
Break above the resistance line intensified and bullish optimism.

The price break below opens up space to the $ 43,466 December minimum.

The price of ETHUSD ran into an obstacle at the $ 4100 level. She retreated below the moving average again and crossed to the bearish side. After price arrival in that zone, it soon made a pullback to the current $ 3863. We need to pay attention in the $ 3700-3800 zone to what kind of consolidation ETH will do. Bullish scenario:

Market overview
Contradictory reports on the state of crypto-regulatory issues appeared in Russia yesterday. First, a Reuters report that the Central Bank of Russia is seeking a ban on cryptocurrencies, citing risks to financial stability and exploding the volume of transactions. If adopted, the move would be in line with remarks by Russian President Vladimir Putin last month, who said cryptocurrencies “bear high risks.” The National Central Bank is currently preparing an advisory report on this issue. Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Financial Markets Committee of the Duma of the Russian Parliament, made the following statement at a press conference: “There is a rigorous approach to altogether banning cryptocurrencies, such as acquiring or owning. There is an approach where there must be proper cryptocurrencies, where everything is legalized, transparent and understandable to regulators. It would be easier for Russia’s Federal Tax Service to tax such exchange offices. transactions. “ Chairman Aksakov also expressed support for the country’s cryptocurrency mining regulations, citing factors such as mining taxation and business electricity consumption. Authorities in the country prioritize introducing the CBDC ruble (digital ruble). They have taken harsh measures against the private crypto sector, including a ban on mutual funds investing in Bitcoin (BTC). The latest data show that Russians make transactions of around 5 billion dollars in cryptocurrencies every year.
