Base: Azul Mainnet Upgrade Officially Live

Base Azul upgrade is officially live on mainnet, delivering faster transaction speeds and enhanced security as the network positions itself as the home of global finance, according to @jessepollak. ETH trades at $2023.34 inside a bearish structure where the EMA50 at $2088.49 caps upside while the EMA200 at $2195.27 marks deeper resistance; the MACD death cross at -28.0 keeps momentum negative and RSI at 40.6 shows no oversold relief yet, so price remains pinned inside the Bollinger band between $1968.73 support and $2158.39 resistance. This Base layer 2 upgrade arrives as traders weigh ETH price prediction models against crypto market crash risks and AI industry impact on settlement demand.
