🔷 EF suspends the acceptance of grant applications.
💵 The Ethereum Foundation announced the suspension of grant applications for developers due to a change in the funding model.
➡️ The Foundation reported that the new model should align with the growth of Ethereum, where the DeFi volume reached $91 billion, and the market capitalization of stablecoins exceeded $148 billion.
Meanwhile, last year, 105 projects received only $3 million in grants from EF. Can we now assume that the amounts will increase? $ETH

Dogecoin is trading around $0.22, holding within a symmetrical triangle with resistance at $0.23–0.24 and support at $0.20. The narrowing range indicates an inevitable breakout.
🔑 Key Points:
EMA 20/50/100 are concentrated around $0.220–0.223, forming a strong barrier.
RSI is holding at 50 → balance between bulls and bears.
An outflow of $4.38 million from exchanges on August 27 indicates accumulation of coins by long-term holders.
📈 Scenarios:
Break above $0.24 → move to $0.26–0.28.
Drop below $0.20 → targets $0.19 and $0.175. Subscription +👍 $DOGE
Moodeng consolidates amid declining open interest.
Moodeng is trying to break free from bearish pressure after falling to a two-month low of $0.1316. The rebound to $0.144 has proven weak — the movement was limited by the Fibonacci level of 0.382 and EMA20 on the 4H chart.
Market dynamics:
Trading is occurring in the range of $0.1316 – $0.144.
Conclusion: The decline in open interest and weak volumes indicate a lack of a confident trend. Until one of the range boundaries is broken with significant volume and new positioning, Moodeng will remain in a phase of consolidation. $MOODENG
