Ethereum made substantial gains over the past weeks as optimism began to trickle into the crypto market after Tim Beiko’s announcement of The Merge.
Ethereum’s Major Milestone
Ethereum ($ETH) briefly dipped below $900 on June 18 but has since staged a remarkable rally to its current price of $1,600 after Tim Beiko, one of the network’s leading developers, proposed Sept. 19 as the date for “The Merge.”
The Merge is Ethereum’s transition from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS) and is an important milestone for the leading smart contract platform. Ethereum is the second-highest capped crypto asset after Bitcoin ($BTC), and this upgrade will create deflationary pressure to reward its holders by encouraging staking for reward.
Because of its greater investment value, $ETH will be traded less. It is anticipated that after the upgrade, the network will be more energy-efficient and “environmentally friendly,” which is a response to one of the most stinging criticisms of the PoW consensus mechanism.
However, enthusiasm for The Merge is not universal. $ETH has been in oversold territory for a prolonged period. The recent upward price action is a result of the confluence of a few factors. The news on the Merge is one of those. The overall crypto market has also improved and real-world inflation is expected to fall as gas prices are trending lower.
The result in interest rate hikes will also slow the U.S. economy which will effectively bring down inflation. However, these figures do not paint the entire picture of the health of the equities market. The Ukraine-Russia crisis will continue to affect the global market through the disruption of global supply chains, food production and distribution, and crude oil.

Coins to Watch
Ethereum ($ETH) - The Merge will create the much needed optimism that will push $ETH past the $2,000 psychological resistance. However this can be a risky trade for a few reasons:
- It can be a scenario of buy the rumor and sell the news. Just before the Merge takes place, short-term traders will dump and lock in their gains.
- The Merge might get delayed. Upgrades on the Ethereum network are complicated and in the past, major upgrades have been delayed.
- $ETH is still a good risk-reward asset to be invested in because of the promise it holds.
Optimism ($OP) - If Ethereum successfully implemented the upgrade, all layer-2 solutions on the Ethereum network will directly benefit from it.
- A rally in the price of $ETH will also move $OP.
- $OP is a newly launched token and there is a lot of upside to it.
- $OP did not fully capitalize on the euphoria when it was launched. There will be a second chance for this token to ride the next rally.
BNB ($BNB) - This asset is one of the most fundamentally sound coins because it is backed by the biggest crypto exchange platform in the world.
- $BNB has a suite of utilities, and a considerable amount of resources have been dedicated to build and improve BNB Chain.
- The $BNB rally is sustainable because the asset is backed by real-world utilities.

Algotech’s Game-changing $3.1M Presale Grabs Attention From Dogwifhat (WIF) As SUI Surges
Sui (SUI) price surges due to increasing user base and strategic collaborations. Dogiwifhat’s investors turned to Algotech after WIF faced speculations about further price drops.
After a correction phase in the broader crypto market, many coins are gaining momentum once again. Sui (SUI) has emerged as a stand-out choice for investors amid market recovery with its readily expanding user base and positive price trend.
In the meme coin space, Dogiwifhat (WIF), after leading the meme coin rally in the past week, is showing a downward trajectory. Due to WIF’s utter hype-oriented tokenomics, investors are speculating about its long-term viability and are shifting to projects with real-time utility in the Defi sector.
SUI shows strength after reaching 600k daily active accounts
Sui (SUI) is making notable strides in the crypto space with a massive surge in price momentum and trading volume. The project has made headlines, notably after the announcement of THORwallet’s integration with Sui for staking purposes. This collaboration streamlines staking, providing users with a simpler and more accessible way to enhance blockchain security and efficiency.
Sui recently achieved a major milestone, surpassing 600K daily active accounts. According to DeFiLama data, Sui's total value locked (TVL) has a favorable short-term trend. With the project's commitment to bringing new dApps online, there is potential for this price momentum to persist in the long run.
At present, the SUI token is valued at $2.1, indicating a notable surge of 13% on the intraday chart. The network is experiencing substantial investor activity, evident by a 140% surge in trading volume. With an optimistic outlook on the project, SUI is demonstrating the massive potential and is poised for significant gains in the upcoming weeks.
WIF whales shift focus after the price drops 4.5% in 24 hours
Dogifiwhat's (WIF) recent surge in the meme coin frenzy due to massive whale traffic has started to fade. The token flipped many meme coins in its recent rally to a $3B market cap just after months of launch, which proved to be a significant milestone for the meme coin. WIF price has dropped by 4% in a day, along with a declining market cap.
While some analysts indicate a positive comeback for the token, others predict a further decline in its price towards $2 by mid-April if the current trajectory persists. Amid these speculations, WIF investors are turning their attention to an emerging project currently in its presale phase, expected to yield 1200x returns once it launches on major exchanges.
Algotech (ALGT) grabs market by surge with its $3.1 million presale
Algotech (ALGT) has stolen the spotlight from meme coins like WIF as having more upside potential for massive gains. With a ground-breaking presale of $3.1 million in stage 2, Algotech stands out as the top choice for investors in the crypto sector.
The algorithmic trading platform of Algotech offers cutting-edge features like momentum trading, breakout detection, and arbitrage trading. Supporting over 10,000 trading pairs, the platform aims to empower traders with automated trading strategies and key market stats to capitalize on investments.
With over 75 million tokens sold in just three weeks to 9,000 unique holders, ALGT tokens are currently in hot demand. Investors are rushing to grab the tokens at $0.06 before they go up to $0.08 in the next round. Analysts predict that the token will reach $1 before it hits major exchanges, which makes this an ideal time for early investors to join Algotech.
