Ethereum Price and Other Altcoins Under Selling Pressure

Popular analyst Michael van de Poppe shared his new analysis on altcoins on April 29 as the month comes to an end, with Bitcoin and Ethereum prices need to break key levels in order to maintain upside momentum.

He believes the bear market looming for Ethereum and altcoins as altcoins loses momentum against BTC and continues to fall. The collapse of First Republic Bank amid the brink of depression and recession will be huge trigger adoption of DeFi.

Other news impacting the crypto prices includes the U.S. Fed rate hike decision, if Fed hike rates it will put addition pressure on the government and banks as they have to give more interest on the money they borrow. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned an economic catastrophe if the U.S. debt ceiling is not raised. The US House has passed the debt ceiling bill, and it now faces the Democratic-led US Senate hurdle.
