Ethereum Weekly - Edition 12
Welcome to the latest edition of Ethereum Weekly!
Ethereum (ETH) had a sideways week on low volatility gaining $5 week-over-week as it awaited the release of the consumer sentiment data in the US. The report, released by the University of Michigan, was expected to show increasing confidence despite ongoing inflationary concerns.
Today the release of the core personal consumption expenditures price index rose 0.6% in January and 4.7% from the prior year. These figures were well above economists’ expectations which drove the markets lower to close the week. Ethereum fell about $50 almost immediately, reacting the same to the data as most assets. The Dow fell almost 3% for the week, its worst performance of the year so far, with the S&P 500 down 2.7%. As stocks go, so does crypto.
The latest figures could suggest that the Fed will, after all, keep raising interest rates, and therein lies the problem. A continued policy of tightening by Jerome Powell and company is bad news for most investors. Add this to growing regulatory concerns over staking crypto, and Ethereum could be in for choppy waters to close out the quarter.
The Crypto Greed and Fear Index highlighted below sits at 53 in the "Neutral" range and down 18 points from where it was at last week.

What is Ethereum?
Ethereum (ETH) is a digital cryptocurrency that is known for being a blockchain technology that operates decentralized apps (dapps) such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), stablecoins, lending, and more. First proposed by Vitalik Buterin who published a whitepaper in 2013 and went live as a network in July 2015, Ethereum claims it is not controlled by a centralized authority but that can be questioned. Ethereum went through the "merge" in 2022 moving from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake mechanism becoming much more environmentally friendly.
