Comprehensive Analysis of Ethereum (ETH)
First: Fundamental Analysis
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a decentralized open-source blockchain network that supports smart contracts. It was created by Vitalik Buterin in 2015. Ethereum aims not only to be a currency but also a platform for building decentralized applications (dApps).
Its main uses:
Running decentralized applications.
Supporting decentralized finance (DeFi) operations.
Creating and trading non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Executing smart contracts without human intervention.
Recent developments:
The launch of the "The Merge" update in 2022, which transitioned the network from a proof-of-work (PoW) system to a proof-of-stake (PoS) system, reducing energy consumption by over 99%.
Currently, work is being done on developing new updates such as Proto-Danksharding (to facilitate network expansion and reduce gas fees).
Advantages of Ethereum:
A robust, secure network that has stood the test of time.
The largest developer community among crypto projects.
Strong support from major financial and tech institutions.
Challenges facing Ethereum:
Occasionally high transaction fees.
Strong competition from alternative networks like Solana, Avalanche, and Polygon.
The need to improve transaction speed with increasing demand.
Second: Technical Analysis (Overview until April 2025)
Moving averages (MA 50 and MA 200) indicate a medium-term upward trend.
