The Hourly View for ETH

Last Updated December 22, 2020, 06:017 GMT

At the moment, Ethereum’s price is down $-1.53 (-0.25%) from the hour prior. This is the 2nd consecutive hour Ethereum has seen its price head down. Regarding the trend, note that the strongest trend exists on the 50 hour timeframe. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

    bitcoin is now seen by the elite as a hedge against inflation.to remain competitive, the ethereum community would do well to make eth inflation-resistant too.why don’t they do this? because it’s PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.no altcoin can do this. it has nothing to do with code.

RedFOX Labs to Run a Chainlink Node to Deliver WAX eSports and Gaming Data to Ethereum

As a platform supporting the development of esports and gaming applications on the WAX blockchain, we plan to use the RedFOX Chainlink node to make data generated by those applications available on Ethereum, supporting a new crop of metaverse NFTs. By running a Chainlink node, we have the unique ability to broadcast WAX gaming and esports data captured by our API directly on to the various other blockchains, starting first with Ethereum….This will accomplish several key objectives: enable the generation of Ethereum NFTs based on WAX gaming data, allow users to actively participate in the WAX gaming ecosystem without leaving Ethereum, and empower RedFOX to greatly expand its addressable market as a blockchain data provider, which can serve as the basis for expanding to other blockchains in the future.  RedFOX Labs helps game producers build on-chain rewards as NFTs, which we have called KOGs on the WAX blockchain.
