While the transactions remain unconfirmed pending U.S. trading hours reopening on Monday, the on-chain activity has already drawn market attention. Ethereum could attract positive tailwinds in the coming sessions as traders front-run the confirmation from Bitmine and other publicly listed firms that bought the dip.

If confirmed, Bitmine’s aggressive accumulation could incentivize other large holders to re-enter, accelerating a recovery from the panic-driven sell-offs triggered by U.S.-China trade tensions .

Ethereum Price Forecast: Bullish Reversal in Play if Bulls Clear $4,244 Resistance

Ethereum price needs a clean breakout above the Bollinger midline and 20-day SMA at $4,244 to confirm a bullish reversal. Until that confirmation occurs, the rising wedge formation shows downside risks toward the bearish correction target at $3,179.

More so, Ethereum’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has recovered from oversold territory and now sits in the low-50s, suggesting improving momentum but still lacking confirmation of sustained bullish dominance.

In the bullish scenario, a daily close and hold above $4,244 would likely attract momentum traders and trigger short covering, clearing the path toward the upper Bollinger band around $4,753.

However, in the bearish scenario, failure to reclaim the $4,244 level could expose Ethereum to renewed pressure toward $3,734 and the highlighted target at $3,179.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
