From 4800 Highs to 3850 Lows – ETH Eyes RecoveryAfter a fresh test of the 4800 zone in mid-September, ETH started to decline, with the selloff accelerating after September 22nd, in line with the broader crypto market weakness. The drop broke below the 4100 technical support and even under the psychological 4K mark, sending price as low as 3850. Yesterday, however, ETH managed to recover part of the losses and climbed back above 4K, a positive sign for the bulls. From a structural point of view, the overall trend remains strongly bullish, and I see this move as nothing more than a correction and a hunt for liquidity at lower levels. Trading Outlook: • In the coming days, I expect ETH to reclaim the 4100 zone, turning the breakdown into a false break. • If that happens, the door opens for upside continuation, with potential to retest 4500 and even challenge the 4800 resistance again. • For now, I remain on the sidelines, waiting for confirmation before taking a new position.

How Blockchain Transforms Trading Systems1. Understanding Blockchain: The Foundation Before analyzing its impact on trading, it is important to understand what blockchain is: Decentralization – Traditional trading systems rely on centralized exchanges, brokers, and clearinghouses. Blockchain distributes data across a network of nodes, reducing dependence on single intermediaries. Immutability – Once a transaction is recorded on a blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted, providing an incorruptible ledger of trades. Transparency – Transactions are visible to network participants (depending on whether the chain is public or permissioned), reducing information asymmetry. Smart Contracts – Self-executing codes stored on the blockchain that automatically perform actions when predefined conditions are met. Cryptographic Security – Transactions are secured by advanced encryption, minimizing the risks of fraud and cyberattacks. These characteristics collectively enable blockchain to redefine the architecture of trading systems, moving away from reliance on trust in intermediaries toward trust in code and consensus. 2. Traditional Trading Systems: The Current Limitations To appreciate blockchain’s transformative role, one must examine the pain points of existing trading infrastructure: Intermediation Costs – Trades typically involve brokers, exchanges, custodians, clearinghouses, and settlement agencies. Each adds complexity, time, and fees. Settlement Delays – Equity trades often follow T+2 (trade date + 2 days) settlement cycles, tying up capital and increasing counterparty risk. Counterparty Risk – Trust in intermediaries is necessary, but systemic failures (e.g., 2008 financial crisis) expose vulnerabilities. Lack of Transparency – Order books, OTC transactions, and derivative trades are often opaque, leading to information asymmetry and sometimes manipulation. Cross-Border Complexity – International trades face additional hurdles: currency conversion, regulatory compliance, and time zone mismatches. Cybersecurity Risks – Centralized exchanges present attractive targets for hackers, as seen in multiple data breaches worldwide. Blockchain addresses these weaknesses by eliminating redundant intermediaries, accelerating settlement, reducing systemic risk, and ensuring transparent records. 3. Blockchain’s Direct Impact on Trading Systems 3.1 Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) Unlike centralized exchanges, DEXs operate on blockchain networks, enabling peer-to-peer trading without intermediaries. Benefits include: Direct control of funds by traders (custody remains with the owner until trade execution). Lower fees due to reduced intermediary layers. Global accessibility with no geographic restrictions. Examples: Uniswap, SushiSwap, PancakeSwap, which allow crypto token trading without central oversight. 3.2 Tokenization of Assets Blockchain enables real-world assets (stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities) to be tokenized into digital representations. This leads to: Fractional ownership – Small investors can own fractions of high-value assets like real estate. Liquidity creation – Traditionally illiquid assets (art, infrastructure) become tradable in secondary markets. 24/7 markets – Unlike stock exchanges, tokenized assets can trade continuously. 3.3 Instant Settlement and Clearing Through blockchain, settlement can shift from T+2 to T+0, reducing capital lock-ups and eliminating counterparty risk. Smart contracts automatically transfer ownership and funds simultaneously. 3.4 Increased Transparency All participants can view transaction history, reducing insider advantages and manipulation risks. Regulators also benefit from real-time auditing capabilities. 3.5 Reduced Costs By removing brokers, custodians, and clearinghouses, blockchain significantly reduces transaction costs and administrative overhead. 4. Blockchain in Different Asset Classes 4.1 Equities Tokenized shares on blockchain can be traded peer-to-peer. Startups like tZERO and Polymath are working on blockchain-based equity issuance and trading. Companies can issue security tokens directly to investors, bypassing traditional IPO channels. 4.2 Commodities Commodity trades (gold, oil, agricultural products) can be tracked via blockchain for provenance verification. Tokenized commodities reduce the need for paper-based contracts and increase liquidity. 4.3 Derivatives Smart contracts automate execution of options, futures, and swaps. Margin calls and settlements can be programmed into blockchain, reducing disputes. 4.4 Foreign Exchange Blockchain-based stablecoins and CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) allow for instant, low-cost cross-border currency trades. This disrupts the $6.6 trillion-a-day forex market. 4.5 Real Estate & Alternative Assets Tokenization enables fractional ownership of properties, infrastructure projects, and private equity. Platforms like RealT already allow investors to buy tokenized shares in rental properties. 5. Blockchain and Market Infrastructure 5.1 Clearing and Settlement Traditionally, clearinghouses manage post-trade processes. With blockchain, clearing and settlement occur simultaneously, reducing systemic risks. 5.2 Custody and Record-Keeping Blockchain acts as a self-updating ledger, replacing third-party custodians. Ownership is cryptographically verifiable. 5.3 Compliance and Regulation Blockchain enables real-time auditing, AML/KYC compliance, and traceability of funds. Regulators can gain direct access to immutable transaction histories. 5.4 Liquidity Pools DEXs use automated market makers (AMMs) to create liquidity pools, replacing traditional order books. This enables continuous liquidity provision without centralized intermediaries. 6. Advantages of Blockchain in Trading Speed – Settlement cycles reduce from days to seconds. Cost-Efficiency – Lower reliance on intermediaries reduces fees. Security – Cryptographic protection minimizes fraud and hacks. Accessibility – Retail traders worldwide can access tokenized markets with just an internet connection. Transparency – Publicly verifiable ledgers increase trust. Programmability – Smart contracts enable complex trading strategies to run automatically. Global Integration – Seamless cross-border trading with digital assets and stablecoins. 7. Challenges and Risks Despite its promise, blockchain in trading faces hurdles: 7.1 Regulatory Uncertainty Different jurisdictions classify blockchain assets differently (security, commodity, currency). Lack of harmonized regulation limits global adoption. 7.2 Scalability Issues Blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum face throughput limitations. High transaction volumes in equity or forex markets may exceed current blockchain capacities. 7.3 Security Concerns While blockchain itself is secure, DEXs and smart contracts are vulnerable to hacks and exploits. Private keys remain a weak point in custody solutions. 7.4 Market Manipulation Low-liquidity tokens are prone to pump-and-dump schemes. Automated systems can amplify volatility. 7.5 Integration with Legacy Systems Traditional financial institutions still run on decades-old infrastructure. Transitioning to blockchain requires significant time, cost, and cultural change. 8. Case Studies 8.1 ASX (Australian Securities Exchange) Announced blockchain adoption for clearing and settlement (replacing CHESS). Although delayed, it reflects serious institutional interest. 8.2 DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, USA) Testing blockchain for derivatives clearing, handling billions of trades annually. 8.3 JPMorgan Onyx Platform Uses blockchain for intraday repo transactions and wholesale payments. 8.4 Uniswap and DeFi Platforms Over $1 trillion in trading volume executed on blockchain-based DEXs. 9. The Future of Blockchain Trading Systems Looking ahead, blockchain will likely lead to: Tokenized Securities Becoming Mainstream – Equities, bonds, and ETFs will exist in tokenized forms. Global 24/7 Markets – Traditional trading hours will be obsolete. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) – Official digital currencies will integrate into trading platforms. Automated Smart Derivatives – Entire derivatives contracts will self-execute via code. Hybrid Exchanges – Combining centralized compliance with decentralized efficiency. AI + Blockchain Trading – AI algorithms may interact directly with blockchain-based liquidity pools. 10. Conclusion Blockchain represents a paradigm shift in trading systems. It reimagines the way markets operate by replacing intermediaries with decentralized networks, creating transparency where opacity ruled, and enabling instant settlement where delays were common. By tokenizing assets, blockchain democratizes access to investments, opening global markets to small investors and reducing inefficiencies that have plagued finance for centuries. Yet, the journey is far from smooth. Scalability, regulation, and integration remain critical challenges. However, just as the internet transformed communication and e-commerce, blockchain is set to transform trading into a faster, cheaper, and more inclusive ecosystem. The transformation will not happen overnight, but the trajectory is clear: the trading systems of tomorrow will be built on blockchain foundations.

ETH – Eyeing $3.3k Sweep Before Loading LongETH has broken down from its recent range, showing lower highs and consistent selling pressure. I’m watching for one more leg lower into the $3,300 area. Why $3,300? A clean sweep here would trap shorts and flush out late longs, setting the stage for a strong bounce. Setup Plan: Short-term bias: Bearish, expecting continuation lower into ~$3,300 Will not long until we get a reaction at that level Long trigger: Strong bounce/reversal signals at $3,300 zone Targets on the bounce: $3,500 → $3,650 → $3,800 Stop loss: Below $3,250 ETH likely has one more dip before setting up for a cleaner move higher. Patience pays here.

$ETH Market OutlookCRYPTOCAP:ETH Market Outlook Ethereum is currently consolidating, with a critical downside level at $4,000. If $4,000 does not hold, the next supports are $3,500 and $2,400. The $2,400 scenario remains highly unlikely, as it would imply a full retracement of the previous rally. In contrast, a pullback to $3,500 represents a 50% correction of the last upward move—a realistic outcome that would signal a temporary setback rather than a trend reversal, potentially setting the stage for continued upside momentum. At present, CRYPTOCAP:ETH is trading within a range and sitting near the midpoint. Should this level break, the bottom of the range becomes the next logical target. ⚠️ Always DYOR.

Ethereum (ETHUSD) Nearing Support, Ready for a TurnaroundThe short-term Elliott Wave analysis for Ethereum (ETHUSD) indicates that the cycle from the August 24, 2025 peak continues to unfold as a zigzag Elliott Wave structure. From that peak, wave A concluded at $4,214.14, followed by a wave B rally that reached $4,770.92. Ethereum then turned lower in wave C, which is developing as an impulse Elliott Wave structure. Within wave C, wave ((i)) ended at $4,429.03, and the subsequent rally in wave ((ii)) peaked at $4,649.37. The cryptocurrency has since extended lower in wave ((iii)), hitting $4,074.40, with wave ((iv)) concluding at $4,208.33. Currently, wave ((v)) is underway and appears mature, suggesting it could end soon. As long as the pivot at $4,770.92 remains intact, further downside is possible. The target for wave C can be calculated using the 100% to 161.8% Fibonacci extension of wave A, measured from the August 24, 2025 peak. This projects a range of $3,553.64 to $4,013.04. Once Ethereum reaches this zone, it could reverse higher or at least rally in three waves. Traders should monitor this area for potential buying opportunities, as it may signal the end of the current corrective phase and the start of a new upward move.

$ETH stop loss TRIGGERED, the BUTTERFLY harmonic pattern pops upCRYPTOCAP:ETH hit my STOP LOSS at $3895, oh well. It was a bloody day all over the market and including the stock markets, even #Tesla declined by 4.5%. But CRYPTOCAP:ETH fights on, not yet oversold on RSI so room for further bleeding, definitely. WAVE C corrective move could drop the price as low as $3563, before the next impulse wave upwards takes place. Downtrend on the DAILY, first one for half-a-year now. Leverage has been cleared and now most of it are shorts. Liquidity all the way up to the ATH. And nothing much below down to $3000. So, there is that, too. Very mixed signals. Bullish BUTTERFLY harmonic pattern popped up and it would be a good base to find a long entry on shorter timeframes, but the CRYPTOCAP:BTC dominance has been too bullish this week for us to long too much💙👽 FLASH CRASH stink orders, why not: LONG limit orders at: $3571 and a half-sized one at $3711.
