【Sideways today, down over the week; I still couldn't make sense of it a month ago】
ETH is at 2263.70 today, up 0.3% over 24 hours; it's down 3.9% over the week, which puts it at about 2355 a week ago. I don't have the data from a month ago, so I won't make anything up. But the variable I've been watching this past month hasn't changed: whether there's support around 2205.
The Fear & Greed Index is at 34, with a weekly average of 42. Yet the price is holding sideways near the lows, and trading volume remains low. This looks more like a weak divergence than confirmation of a bottom: sentiment deteriorated first, but the price hasn't broken lower. What changed my view wasn't the candlesticks, but that the price managed to hold steady after approaching 2205. The issue now is that volume is too low, so a clear directional move may take longer.
The FBI confirmed North Korea's involvement in the $6 billion theft from Binance and called on the DeFi community to block BTC, ETH, and SOL addresses. In practice, address screening will reach DEXs, aggregators, and wallets: front ends will need to block high-risk interactions, and service providers will have to take responsibility for screening. The logic holds up—blockchains being immutable doesn't mean businesses can ignore sanctions. Screening will become a real cost and business need, but the price will be that DeFi's promise of decentralization becomes harder to uphold.
So I'm not in a rush to draw conclusions about this ETH move. Do you think address screening will become part of DeFi infrastructure, or will it expose a rift between decentralization and compliance?
