According to crypto analyst alicharts, Ethereum is currently testing resistance at the $1796 level of its 0.8 MVRV price band. If Ethereum closes above this level on the daily timeframe and successfully holds it as support, the bullish thesis will be strengthened, potentially paving the way for a move toward Ethereum’s realized price of $2245. Alicharts further notes that breaks above both $1796 and $1816 would trigger a bullish breakout. From a technical perspective, such a move would also boost ETH’s chances of breaking above the channel top at $1844 and advancing toward the $2245 realized price.

Today, Samsung Electronics released a better-than-expected earnings preview: its operating profit surged over 1,800% year-on-year, with quarterly earnings surpassing the sum of the past three years. Meanwhile, its revenue rose 129% year-on-year to 171 trillion won. However, investors were unimpressed; after South Korea’s stock market opened, Samsung Electronics’ shares tumbled, hitting a maximum drop of 8%. Analysts attributed Samsung’s weak stock performance to overly high market expectations: after accounting for employee bonus provisions, the profit driven by record-high memory chip prices could have exceeded 90 trillion won. Additionally, the market is concerned that AI data center construction may slow down. Albert Yong, managing partner at Petra Capital Management, said: "Samsung’s strong performance was already widely anticipated by the market and largely priced in during the pre-earnings stock rally. Investors remain worried about the sustainability of the AI boom and the risk of a slowdown in AI infrastructure spending by major U.S. tech companies."
