Polygon, the popular Ethereum layer-2 solution, has bagged substantial gains amidst a bearish market. Over the past 24 hours, Polygon has achieved a strong performance, recording a 4.37% gain at $0.833. The L2 protocol’s market valuation of $7.07 billion places it back in the top 12, above both DAI and Shiba Inu. Compared to its all-time high of $ 2.68 in December &#8217;21, MATIC is down by roughly 73% at its present pricing. However, the same factors that contributed to Polygon&#8217;s fall also hampered the performance of cryptocurrencies during 2022.

Looking at the daily data for Polygon, we can see that it hit a low of $0.313 in June. It rebounded from that low by more than 240% to reach $1 again in just two months. The price eventually found support in the region of $1. This is where the 50% Fibonacci retracement level supplied by the bearish vector it controls passes. This level was calculated using data ranging from the highs of $1.75 in March to the lows of $0.31. Zoom in on the previous few weeks. We can see that $ 0.69 has been a crucial supporting region for MATIC throughout. The price has since bounced back up. Currently, the most important metric is the bear...

Meme coin Shiba Inu has held up better than expected, but the digital asset is still down considerably from its all-time high. However, this has not stopped the development that has been going on behind the scenes, and now SHIB developers have begun to share the products that they have been working on. These, and others, have shown a promising future for the digital asset, but some show some possible upside for SHIB this week. A Game, A Whale, And A Burn The past week has been an interesting one for Shiba Inu. First, lead Shiba Inu developers announced that the SHIB Eternity game was complete and is now being tested by users. The game has been made available to community members in Vietnam and Australia, some of whom have taken to Twitter to share their experiences with the game. So far, the reviews have been good, and SHIB Eternity is set to be available for general download on Thursday.

Bitcoin has managed to reclaim and break through its 20k mark after experiencing a turbulent week. The leading crypto was seen at the doors of $20,000 last Wednesday, going up to $20,200. However, it quickly dropped, ending the trading day at $19,042, a 0.49% loss from its starting price. Throughout the week, Bitcoin has tested support levels over $20k but failed to hold on to them. But as of writing, it has broken the resistance and is now trading at $20,370, a 4.8% 24-hour increase. It&#8217;s left to be seen if it&#8217;ll hold this position in the coming days. Related Reading: Dogecoin On Fire, Rallies After Elon Musk-Twitter Deal Confirmation Bitcoin Tests 20K Thanks To The US Dollar Index Over the past day, the price of BTC has increased by about 4.10%, effectively breaking above the $20,000 threshold.

However, today&#8217;s decline in the DXY index below 111 has helped stock and cryptocurrency markets rebound slightly. At the beginning of the week, BTC had brushed off macroeconomic concerns.

SummaryEthereum can be seen as a commodity since it fuels the Ethereum blockchain.ETH is almost deflationary after the merge, which will make it much more valuable in the future.No matter what happens going forward, inflation/deflation, I believe Ethereum will perform very well.Thesis SummaryEthereum (ETH-USD) is set to become the most valuable cryptocurrency in existence. Following the merge, the supply of ETH has almost become deflationary, and, on top of that, staked ETH, which is a derivative of ETH, has become a yielding asset.This makes Ethereum the perfect "commodity" to hold during the next few years. It offers advantages over oil and gold and will perform well in both an inflationary/loose monetary and deflationary/tight monetary policy environment.Ethereum is the all-weather asset you've been looking for.Ultra Sound MoneyAs we approached the merge, many began talking about Ethereum becoming "ultra sound money". Sound money preserves the value of your wealth. Gold has traditionally performed this role quite well. In the case of Ethereum, we can talk about Ultra Sound Money because the supply will very likely become deflationary, which means ETH tokens could systematically increase in value.The reason Ethereum has become (almost) deflationary since the merge can be found in the change in rewards from mining to staking and the introduction of EIP-1559, which was part of the London Hard Fork.First off, EIP-1559 introduce...
