Not long ago, we warned about the rally being doomed to fail. Indeed, prior to the merge, we stated that a short-lived price increase might occur before the distribution of ETHW tokens (due to speculation). Our assessment proved correct, and the price rose ahead of the merge. Furthermore, the hype was quickly killed by the latest CPI print in the United States, sparking a selloff in the equity market.
Fundamental factors remain bearish, and with the upcoming FOMC, we would argue they are poised to worsen even more. Because of that, we will pay close attention to the monetary meeting on 21st September 2022. We think the FED will reiterate its hawkish narrative laying a pathway for another significant rate hike in December (and potentially an emergency rate hike in November).
Regarding technical factors, these continue to forecast a lower price for ETHUSD. Therefore, we have no reason to change our bearish bias and stick to our price targets at 1000 USD and 900 USD.
