Ethereum Price Analysis and Prediction for October 11th – ETH Under Local Pressure Again

By Dmitriy Gurkovskiy, Chief Analyst at RoboForex

On Friday, October 11th, ETH price is declining, trading at $186.72. The cryptocurrency has been selling for two days in a row.

On H4, Ethereum quotations have tested the resistance line of the long-term channel. This situation may also be understood as the completion of correctional growth. The main resistance is at the fractal level of $224.44. If the quotations manage to break through the local support line near $174.40, the main trend may move on to $141.60. The beginning of the downtrend might be indirectly confirmed by the histogram on the MACD becoming red.

IKEA, a world-known company selling furniture and goods for home, accepted payment in a cryptocurrency for the first time. For this, the Ethereum blockchain was used. The trade was between Nordic Store and IKEA.

The transaction was carried out by the Tradeshift platform. As we have heard, Tradeshift used a blockchain version of the ETH-based Iceland crown. The version, in its turn, was created by Monerium, the only company in the world that has the right to issue regulated electronic money.

The transaction was carried out using smart invoices, i.e. an automatically generated account. In the essence, this is such programmed money that can be used the same way as any other.

As they say in Tradeshift, the creation of a smart invoice helped to avoid a big deal of administrative formalities that are inevitable in the case of an international payment. If so, then world retailers received a quick and rather easy way to overcome bureaucratic hindrances.
