Can Ethereum (ETH) Defy the Odds and Rise in September? Ethereum News
  • Ethereum traded at $3K, down by 12.33% over the past week.
  • Project Golem, a 2016 Ethereum ICO participant, transferred 36,000 ETH over the past month.

Ethereum, the largest-capped altcoin, marks the slightest recovery back to $3,000 with a minute spike of 1.25% in the last 24 hours. Alongside Bitcoin’s dip to $53.4K, Ethereum bottomed at $2.8K last week, creating a panic in the market. 

Mt. Gox and the German Government were among the instigators of selling pressure on Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the Ethereum-based project Golem is expected to potentially add to selling pressure on ETH. 

Golem, an early Ethereum ICO participant, has transferred over $100 million worth of Ethereum (36,000 ETH) to exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Bitfinex, and others over the past 37 days. Currently, Golem holds 231,400 ETH, valued at $705.5 million.

If a bullish trend strengthens, the price could test its initial resistance in the $3,296 range. If the uptrend persists, the next major resistance levels might be found between $3,480 and $3,695. 

Conversely, if Ethereum’s price fails to maintain the bull momentum, it may drop to immediate support near the $2,911 level. The subsequent support may seemingly be found at $2,866.
