The Pectra upgrade is tipped to improve Ethereum’s transaction throughput, which is the most vital factor of this upgrade. This upgrade enhances network capacity, where transactions per second can be processed. By extension, this means an improved overall user experience and lower congestion in Ethereum’s network.

The Pectra upgrade is also expected to cut transaction costs on the Ethereum network. Implementing the Pectra upgrade indicates that fees will be lowered, making Ethereum more competitive for dApps and everyday transactions. Many other aspects of the upgrade are also turning investors bullish. Among them are expected improvements in Ethereum network security. 

Besides the excitement around the Pectra upgrade, Ethereum ongoing adoption is also driving market excitement in Ether.

Technical Analysis – ETH Rebounds But Not Yet In the Clear

Ethereum continues the bullish reversal that started on March 4. However, the overall market structure points to a cryptocurrency in a bear trend. Ethereum is still forming lower highs, an indicator that every rebound is being sold and pushing the price lower. If this trend continues, the key level to watch will be the March 4 low of $1994.

A correction through this level could see Ethereum drop to prices as low as $1500 in the short term. On the flip side, if Ethereum rebounds strongly, the key level to watch will be the March 2 high of $2543.7. A rally through $2543.7 could see Ethereum rally to $3000 in the short term.

Recap

Ethereum continues to show its staying power due to technological advancements, business adoption, and cryptocurrency appeal. As the Ethereum blockchain changes, its contribution to the network’s financial system will further increase, solidifying its standing as the premier blockchain.
