Ethereum: Vitalik Buterin Unveils Post-Merge Overhaul

Ethereum faces its largest protocol shift since the Merge, according to Vitalik Buterin.

The upgrade aims to reposition the network amid competition from Bitcoin and emerging protocols. Traders now watch ETH price prediction models as price sits at $1745.4 inside Bollinger Bands between $1731.45 support and $1799.22 resistance.

With EMA50 at $1704.61 acting as long-term support and EMA200 at $1746.97 marking immediate resistance, the 4h chart shows neutral RSI at 52.74 while MACD prints a death cross at 24.72. This confluence suggests a likely test of the lower band before any sustained move higher, keeping crypto market crash scenarios in focus if broader risk appetite fades.
