Ether rallied from the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of $1,754 on May 12th and after a few days of consolidation, the bulls pushed the price to the 20-day EMA ($1,854). The bears will attempt to vigorously protect the support line and turn it into resistance. The total Staked value continued to rise, supported by a bullish ETH session and an uptrend in ETH staking inflows. A large increase in staking inflows would limit the effect of an increase in withdrawals. The asset’s dominance is at 20.3% as of 16th May.
At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $1,821

The bulls failed to manage the grip on the asset as it saw some profit booking and the prices dropped to $1,741.5. ETH made a ‘Hammer’ candle at the recent low where the lower longer shadow indicates buying around the support zone ($1,700- $1,725).
