What Is the Shanghai Upgrade?
The next stage in Ethereum’s roadmap is the first of two major events this year, aside from sharding that will take place later in the year. The Ethereum Shanghai Upgrade is the biggest Ethereum upgrade since The Merge. It will finally allow ETH stakers to unstake and withdraw ETH rewards from the network.
The Shanghai Upgrade is slated to take place in April 2023. The upgrade has five different aspects to it, but what is of the greatest importance is that users will be able to withdraw their staked ETH for the first time. Many of these users will be withdrawing their ETH after two years since the staking market began.
The upgrade is raising many questions like what this means for investors moving forward and what will be the impact of this upgrade on the price of ETH.
But before diving deeper into these questions, let’s touch on some basics!
It all started with the concept of liquid staking - which has rapidly risen to become one of the most important sectors in crypto, standing in second place by total value locked (TVL) after decentralized exchanges.
#BTC broke the internal structure and printed a new high but still its inside the reissuance area. where closing is required. Eyes on $60,000 mark as it will act as a crucial level to play out.
Читать полностью…Here's the Analysis of #PIXEL :
#PIXEL invalidates the Falling Wedge Pattern, by broking it below and looking left nothing look good as support. We just have the Listing price area. So better to wait for the flip of $0.32 resistance area for buys.
As BTC prices sold off down into the $60k region, a degree of fear and bearish sentiment could be discerned amongst many digital asset investors. This is not uncommon when market volatility stagnates and goes to sleep, as apathy creeps in.
Nevertheless, from the lens of MVRV Ratio, aggregate investor profitability remains remarkably robust, with the average coin still holding a 2x profit multiple. This is a level that often delineates the 'Enthusiastic' and the 'Euphoric' bull market phases.
Here's the Analysis of #FRONT :
#FRONT is been lying on the major support area of $0.65 - $0.71 and is been in a strong downtrend. There's a rebranding in #FRONT coming up it it might push to the upside, once market is stable down. Price already rejecting the structural resistance strongly, so it will be a one.
Despite their small share of spent volume, LTH coins are typically moving at significantly higher (or lower) prices than when they were initially acquired. Therefore, the magnitude of the realized profit or loss via spent coins provides a valuable lens into their behavior patterns.
The chart below captures the cumulative volume of realized profit locked in by long-term holders during bull markets. What we find is that LTHs typically account for between 20% and 40% of the total profit locked in over time.
Despite their volume being just 4% to 8% of the daily total, the LTH cohort accounts for up to 40% of the profit taking by investors.
#BTC weekly closing did a a good bearish closing and retraced all the way back to the drawn resistance area and dumped again. The zones were strong and and price respecting the market structure. Price again nearly to its now and might gonna make a new lower low again.
Читать полностью…Given only 4%-8% of daily on-chain volume corresponds to LTHs, we can leverage another core on-chain metric to explain the relative weight of these investors on the supply side.

#BITCOIN on Weekly TF, Failed to close below but next week candle followed and dipped strongly lower. Price was near to the level but might be later on, we'll tapping it into support. This weeks candle close below will lead in strong dump in price with a retest.
How Long Does Series B Funding Last?
There is no typical time frame as to how long a Series B funding round lasts. The round is used to improve a company’s operations and further its growth plans. If further funding is needed after this round, the company may turn to a Series C round.
What Are Crypto Series B funding Rounds?
Several cryptocurrency companies and startups have successfully raised Series B rounds. Below is a selection of several crypto Series B rounds.
Yellow Card
Yellow Card is a pan-African crypto exchange and announced a $40 million Series B funding round in October 2022. The round was led by Polychain Capital.
Uniswap
Uniswap (UNI) is a DeFi protocol and announced a $165 million Series B funding round led by Polychain Capital. The funding round values the company at $1.66 billion.
Messari
Messari is a crypto data and analytics firm that closed a $35 million Series B round in September 2022 led by Brevan Howard Digital.
Pintu

#LDO gave a break below of the major area of support and on looking left awe can that, there's a fakeout on the left and this we can also expect the same, if market sustain here. There's 40%+ of trading room, to make it accordingly.
Читать полностью…#ETH UPDATE :
#ETH failed to break the pattern to the upside and dropped hard to the support. Market moved more than the expected, and dropped hard towards next key area of interest around $2870. Price already rejecting the support area, so now expected a reversal very soon.
We can analyze coins in unrealized profit or loss to evaluate their average cost basis and the magnitude of unrealized gains or losses.
- 🔴 Coins in profit have an average unrealized gain of +$41.3k, with a cost basis of about $19.4k. This is skewed by coins moved in earlier cycles, including those by the Patoshi entity, early miners, and lost coins.
- 🔵 Coins in loss have an average unrealized loss of -$5.3k, with a cost basis of about $66.1k. These are mostly held by Short-Term Holders, as few top buyers from the 2021 cycle still hold.
These metrics highlight potential sell-pressure points as investors aim to secure gains or avoid further losses.
#FET formed a consolidation range and formed a double bottom too. Now, its a clear price action, to see a breakout either side and take the setup in a retest.

What Is Shamir’s Secret Sharing?
Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme uses an algorithm in cryptography to safely distribute parts of highly sensitive data among a network or group to prevent unauthorized access to the data. The data is divided into smaller parts called shares which are then distributed into a group or network. This scheme is named after a prominent Israeli cryptographer, Adi Shamir.
Shamir's Secret Sharing helps significantly reduce the chances of failing to decrypt the sensitive information distributed on the network. It is due to a feature that allows decryption of the information without needing all the shares. Instead, a number lower than the total number of shares called the threshold is set which greatly reduces the chance of a failure if certain parties of the network are unavailable.
Example
Let’s assume a company called ABC with 12 members wanting to safeguard a vault using Shamir’s Secret Sharing. The key to the vault is encrypted and is divided into 12 parts, called shares. These shares are then distributed to the members on the network, meaning that the vault would require a certain number of these members to allow access. Now, due to the threshold feature, even if one or two members are not available at a specific time, the vault could still be accessed with the presence of the other members. This helps to mitigate the risk of failing to decrypt the passcode while keeping the vault safe and secure.
The Process of Forming Shares
Shamir’s Secret Sharing is developed through a complex algebraic algorithm that estimates unknown values in a gap between two points. It is called polynomial interpolation. What this means is that the algorithm encodes the information needed to be encrypted into a polynomial expression. This is basically the dividing phase before distributing it through the network to the members. Instead of requiring all the members, only the threshold number is needed which provides enough data points to correctly estimate the values between the gaps in the encrypted shares.
#GOLD UPDATE :
#GOLD made a very sharp push to the upside as we mentioned Head & Shoulder formed which reverse the market. Price nearly tapped into the retesting back to the support area. Potential move to the upside is likely to be expected.
Nothing much happened in #BTC, price just moved back and forth after forming a double bottom struggling to break the resistance zone. Eyes on breakout as below resistance are consolidating or bearish.
Читать полностью…What Is a Settlement Layer?
A settlement layer is a layer that essentially provides an anchor for an entire ecosystem, and establishes undeniable security as well as objective finality if anything were to happen on a different blockchain that requires arbitration.
Now, a common trope when it comes to the blockchain ecosystem is that of the “maximalist.” Maximalism is accomplished through unwavering confidence that there is a war between blockchains from which one blockchain will emerge dominant and all future systems, as well as applications, will be built on that one protocol. It is now a new concept in the web-connected world.
An ecosystem that is supported by a settlement layer, rather than one monolithic blockchain can be a computational necessity over a philosophical reference.
A settlement means that it is a payment that is final and delivered. When you pay someone using a credit card such as a MasterCard or a Visa, that is not a settlement, as the settlement comes weeks or months after the fact. In the world of cryptocurrencies, a transaction is a settlement after it is stored within the blockchain.
When you conduct a transaction in a cryptocurrency, you want assurance that the transaction cannot be rolled back, and as such, a merchant does not want a customer to purchase something and have the money they just left taken back to them at a later point in time. A final settlement means that the cryptocurrency cannot be rolled back.
Whichever chain or protocol ends up serving as the anchor for the ecosystem is who provides the security and immutability, as well as the confidence to support the entirety of the ecosystem itself. The foundational settlement is incorruptible, always available, resilient and only called upon to serve as an arbitrator.
#US30 UPDATE :
#US30 still hodling the support area and but failed to print a new higher high. Still, we can say we got 300 points in profits multiple times bouncing from the support. This week, we can need to see a breakout now, most probably index will break lower, but we still trade in breakout direction.

Here's the Analysis of #FET :
#FET dropping to the market sentiment and move unfavorably with the market. Price is middle on nowhere and nearly towards the support area of $0.91 - $0.95. Let's wait for the price to reach the support or either change the market structure.
#DXY UPDATE :
#DXY melted before reaching out before tapping into the resistance area and dropped deep into support. Now its time to look after the breakout or rejection with the Monday Market Open. A drop will start a more upwards momentum in the market.
Here's the Analysis of #EDU :
#EDU made a massive jump to the upside, but strong rejecting the major resistance area of $$0.64 - $0.65. Price on its way for an another attempt to retest the zone but wait for the breakout. Once a break, there's a good tradable range like 21% to buy it, as you can see we already have a trade earlier :) .
we have highlighted the days when their spending volume is at least one standard deviation above the yearly average.
Whilst there are occasional bursts of spending activity for each cohort, the frequency of high-spending days increases dramatically during the euphoria phase of a bull market. This highlights the relatively consistent behaviour pattern of long-term investors taking profits during periods of rapid price appreciation.
#BITCOIN DAILY TF UPDATE :
#BITCOIN on Daily TF, Dropped hard with a closing below the support area turning it into the resistance zone. Price did closed below but failed to close below previous wicks, and there's clean traffic on the left, which can aggressively push the market down.
How to Raise Series B Funding?
A Series B round includes different aspects for the raising company.
Finance Projections
A company at this stage needs to have achieved several milestones, often relating to key performance indicators or revenue targets. However, investors may ask for projections of future revenue plans to assess the company’s health.
Commercialization Progress
Investors look to minimize their market risk at this stage, meaning a Series B company needs to have a solid grip on the niche it is operating in. Thus, the company has to show how it will commercialize its dominance in the market to successfully raise the round.
Relationship Building
A Series B raise will typically include several investors that have participated in previous funding rounds. For a raising company, it is, therefore, paramount to maintain good relations with its original investors since those can procure new relationships and potential sources of funding for a Series B.
Growth Focus
Since Series B focuses on scaling a company’s existing business, the raising company needs to show a capacity for profitable growth. Roughly speaking, a company has to demonstrate that it can scale its business and maintain or even increase its profitability in the process.
Pitch Attractiveness
Finally, a Series B raise has to tell a compelling story to potential investors. The communication of a plan matters as much as the data underpinning how the company aspires to achieve its goals.
