Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum Price Forecast: European Market Wrap on August 19
Bitcoin’s price has stabilized around $58,000, experiencing a 0.7% decrease on Monday. This ongoing trend reflects a consolidation phase between $57,000 and $62,000 over the past ten days. Despite these fluctuations, a bearish outlook persists due to Bitcoin’s struggle to surpass crucial resistance levels and the presence of weak momentum indicators. However, there are indications of a decrease in selling pressure based on investors’ behavior and recent data on miners’ activities, offering some support to the leading cryptocurrency.
Solana, a smart contract blockchain and a significant competitor to Ethereum, has observed a notable 150% surge in its stablecoin supply. This growth is primarily attributed to the increasing DeFi opportunities, liquidity, lending protocols, and the migration of projects from the Ethereum ecosystem to Solana.
In a recent development, Vitalik Buterin, the co-creator of Ethereum, transferred 400 Ethereum to a crypto mixer earlier this week. This mixer is known for its effectiveness in preventing malicious activities and safeguarding user privacy. Buterin’s transfer of over $1.06 million in Ether to a new wallet address aligns with the aftermath of the crypto market crash in early August.
