• The price of Ethereum was already struggling following the long-anticipated đi, as it seems Mark Cuban’s dự đoán of being a sell-the-news event came to fruition.
• The asset traded around $1,600 last Thursday when the Merge cuối cùng đã diễn ra but began to freefall hours later.
• It entered the weekend at around $1,450, but the past 12 hours brought a lot of pain to the bulls as ETH slumped below $1,300 for the first time since mid-July.

• The overall crypto market cap is down by $60 billion daily to just over $900 billion on CoinMarketCap. These adverse price movements come ahead of the interest rate hikes dự kiến from the central banks of the US and EU this week.
