Ethereum is down 7%

Ethereum (ETH) failed to break through $2,950 on Wednesday night and lost traction at $2,930 yesterday afternoon. Ether then dropped all the way to USD 2,750 with a dip as low as USD 2,700. Subsequently, ETH recovered slightly, but failed to break through $2,750 overnight. This morning, ETH is down towards $2,720, bringing the price down as much as 7%.

Tldr, if all goes well with Merge testing in the next few weeks, devs may not have to delay the difficulty bomb. However, for that to happen, they would need to decide on dates this month for forking (for real) Ethereum testnets Ropsten, Goerli, and Sepolia.

XRP, BNB, DOGE significantly down

Ripple (XRP) is one of the only prices that was able to rise slightly last night, although the focus is on something. XRP first fell as low as $0.58 and then appeared to recover to $0.61. However, XRP loses grip on that this morning and drops to $0.6 with which the price is 5.2% in the minus. Binance coin (BNB) fell to $373 last night, failed to pull back $380 this morning and now stands at $378. BNB is 5.3% in the min. Dogecoin (DOGE) initially fell a little less hard, but falls deeper this morning. DOGE comes in at $ 0.127 with which the price is 5.5% in the minus.

SHIB, LUNA, ADA fall harder

Shiba inu (SHIB) is already turning a deeper red, falling 6.4% to $0.00002. Terra (LUNA) also saw a small uptick last night but is currently falling back below $80 and is now 6.5% in the min. Cardano (ADA) fell below $0.8 yesterday and has yet to regain it. With a price of $0.79, ADA is down a whopping 8.8% today.
