Ethereum Turns Bullish After Shapella Upgrade, But Future Remains Uncertain

Post-Shapella, Ethereum enjoyed a brief bull run, with $ETH surging by over 5% and crossing the $2,000 mark. However, the current price sits around $1,846, leaving the future somewhat unclear.

Market Cools Off After Weeks of Gains

Following an eventful week with declining US inflation rates and Ethereum's Shapella upgrade, both BTC and ETH experienced significant drops. BTC slumped to below $28,000, while ETH dipped below $1,900. Many altcoins have faced similar or more significant losses. Stay safe out there!
