Ethereum recovers some losses as fears of US-Iran strikes fade; macro headwinds limit the upside
Ethereum rebounded as oil prices eased and risk sentiment improved after fears of US strikes on Iran proved unfounded. However, persistent inflation risks, slowing growth and uncertainty ahead of the US midterms could limit further gains. This week, traders will focus on the FOMC decision.
Ethereum broke below key technical levels recently as fears of potential US strikes on Iran weighed on the crypto market. The expectations proved to be wrong, and we’ve started to see a general rebound in risk sentiment as oil prices eased.
In the bigger picture, nothing has changed as the Middle East crisis continues to put upward pressure on inflation while being a drag on global growth. The Federal Reserve is forced to keep a tightening bias, and we have the midterm elections adding further uncertainty. These negative forces are likely to limit major rallies in Ethereum.
