ETH tops $4,100 after Friday’s flash crash

Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is recovering excellently following Friday’s crash. The market crash saw ETH briefly touch the $3,500 region as it lost over 30% of its value within an hour.

However, the coin has now added 8.5% to its value over the last 24 hours and is now trading at $4,165 per coin. The crash was caused by President Trump announcing new tariffs against Chinese imports.

While commenting on the recent market events, Nick Forster, Founder at leading onchain options platform, Derive.xyz, stated that, on the day of the crash, options skew dropped sharply for both BTC and ETH, reflecting a rush into downside protection. Skew measures the relative demand for calls versus puts; a more negative value indicates higher demand for puts.

“Volatility spiked sharply across BTC and ETH markets. Typically, sharp selloffs only lift short-dated volatility (1-7 DTE) as traders expect near-term turbulence to subside. However, Friday’s downturn drove elevated volatility across all expiries, signaling expectations of sustained turbulence and a choppy road ahead,” Forster added. 

ETH could surge higher if the daily candle closes above $4,232 resistance

The ETH/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and inefficient thanks to Friday’s price action. ETH failed to find support around the daily level at $4,488 last week and dumped by over 20% on Friday. However, it has recovered slightly, closing above $4,150. At press time, ETH hovers at around $4,160.

Like Bitcoin, Ethereum’s MACD still supports the bearish view but could change soon as the buying pressure increases. The RSI of 54 is above the neutral 50, suggesting that buyers are regaining control of the market. 

If ETH continues its recovery and closes above the daily resistance at $4,232, the coin could surge higher towards the next key resistance level at $4,488. However, failure to overcome the $4,232 resistance could see ETH extend its decline toward the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $3,593 in the coming days.

On-chain ransom negotiations show ShibaSwap hacker won’t be low-balled

On-chain ransom negotiations show ShibaSwap hacker won’t be low-balled

The post On-chain ransom negotiations show ShibaSwap hacker won’t be low-balled appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On-chain messages between hacker and victim reveal a ransom standoff, with every demand etched permanently on the blockchain. Last Friday, $2.8 million worth of (mostly dog-themed) crypto tokens were stolen from ShibaSwap, a “next generation decentralized exchange” for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Among the loot were approximately 250 billion KNINE tokens, from liquid staking protocol K9 Finance. K9 wants them back, and is willing to pay the hacker a bounty. The tokens are ostensibly worth over $600,000 at current market prices. Though a simulated swap, through extremely thin liquidity, paints a rather different picture. The hack was flagged by security firms Peckshield and Tikkala Security and involved using a “flash” loan to buy up enough tokens to achieve “majority validator power.” Then, the hacker signed “a malicious state to drain assets from the bridge.” They subsequently split up most of the stolen assets between various addresses but the stash of KNINE tokens, though, clearly not worth swapping, remains in their primary address. Read more: Circle and Tether bug bounties aren’t enough says LlamaRisk ShibaSwap hack negotiations begin On Monday, an address labelled “k9dev.eth” reached out to their “Dear Shibarium Bridge Hacker” on-chain, offering a five-ether (ETH) “bounty to return stolen KNINE tokens.” Presumably, the K9 team is very keen to avoid the hacker swapping such a large quantity of KNINE which would likely send its price to near zero. The message also contains the address of a bounty contract to facilitate the exchange, piling on the pressure with the warning that the “bounty will start to decrease in seven days.” Not one to be low-balled, however, the hacker has responded, “I can’t accept five ETH.” They instead propose no less than 50 ETH (around $225,000), adding “let me know when you are willing to meet that price.” The full exchange…
