Crypto and stocks soften ahead of Fed rate hike, but XRP, ALGO and LDO look ‘interesting’
Prices remain soft across the market as traders await Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s statement on the size of the next interest rate hike.
At the moment, the market consensus is a 0.75 bps rate hike and a sliver of analysts are banking on 1%.
Stocks also appear en-route to close the day in the red, with the Dow down 0.75%, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq registering a 0.79% and 0.64% loss. Bitcoin continues to fight what appears to be a losing battle at the $19,000 mark, while Ether (ETH) dug a little deeper into its post-Merge dip by making an intra-day low at $1,329.
While BTC, Ether and altcoins aren’t making any notable moves that defy the current downtrend, from the perspective of market structure and technical analysis, there are a few interesting developments occurring.
Lido (LDO) has corrected alongside Ethereum now that the Merge-trade fervor has subsided, but the asset currently trades in what some would say is a bull flag. While ETH bulls and traders might have taken profits on their long Ether positions, the Merge was a success, stakers and validators still derive yield from the altcoin and the fundamentals that turned investors bullish on Ether remain present.

Ethereum miners dump 30K ETH, stonewalling 'ultra sound money' deflation narrative
Ethereum miners have sold over $40 million worth of ETH because of the Merge and plummeting revenue.
Ethereum miners dump 30K ETH, stonewalling 'ultra sound money' deflation narrative
Ethereum's switch to proof-of-stake (PoS) on Sept. 15 failed to extend Ether's (ETH) upside momentum as ETH miners added sell pressure to the market.
On the daily chart, ETH price declined from around $1,650 on Sept. 15 to around $1,350 on Sept. 20, an almost 16% drop. The ETH/USD pair dropped in sync with other top cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), amid worries about higher Federal Reserve rate hikes.

The Ether price drop on Sept. 15 also coincided with an increase in ETH supply, albeit not immediately post-Merge.
Roughly 24 hours later, the supply change flipped positive once more, pouring cold water on the "ultra sound money" narrative due to a deflationary environment that some proponents expected post-Merge.
Pre-Merge, Ethereum distributed around 13,000 ETH per day to its proof-of-stake (PoW) miners and about 1,600 ETH to its PoS validators. But the rewards to miners dropped after the Merge went live by roughly 90%.
