Analyst Highlights Ethereum ‘Kill Zone’ That Shows The Best Time To Buy
Ethereum (ETH) has been under heavy selling pressure in recent weeks, leaving many retail investors uncertain about when to enter the market. However, Lingrid, a TradingView crypto expert, has stepped in, pinpointing an area she calls a “Kill Zone,” which reveals the most ideal entry point for traders looking to buy ETH at the best possible price before the next major move higher. Analyst Flags Ethereum Kill Zone As Prime Buy Area On May 20, Lingrid shared a new TradingView analysis of the Ethereum price, outlining what she believes is the ideal buy zone for investors and traders looking to accumulate during the current market dip. Related Reading: New Bitcoin Lows? Analysts Say Chances Are ‘Extremely Slim’ According to the expert, ETH recently broke down sharply from a “primary shaded wedge pattern,” highlighted on her accompanying chart. She noted that the breakdown had triggered a massive leverage flush, pushing ETH’s price down to $2,070. She added that the move has done its job by clearing out overleveraged positions and paving the way for ETH to potentially stage a fresh recovery. Lingrid further pointed out that Ethereum’s price has held firm right above a long-term rising macro support line, which she sees as confirmation that a structural bottom is in place. Based on this, her recovery roadmap for ETH, indicated by the purple arrow on the chart, targets a clean reclaim of the broken structure, reaching $2,300. Notably, Lingrid has warned of a potential trap ahead for traders who short this breakdown. She said that retail investors are already panic-selling the recent broken wedge boundary without noticing the major macro rising trendline sitting just below it. She also observed that institutional investors are quietly using ETH’s $2,100 liquidity zone to accumulate spot Ethereum ETFs at a significantly lower price, preparing to trap late short sellers once prices move back up. For traders looking to enter the market, Lingrid places her ideal Ethereum buy zone between $2,100 and $2,135. She described this accumulation area as the cryptocurrency’s “Kill Zone” and set a stop-loss at $2,040 for those managing risk in the trade. ETH Eyes $2,300 Rapid Push As Institutions Accumulate In her analysis, Lingrid noted that her primary price target for Ethereum is a potential move toward $2,300, which aligns with the upper internal trendline on her chart. She believes ETH’s momentum and setup are strong enough to push its price to that level in a relatively short period. On the more technical side, Lingrid noted that as of Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Ethereum mainnet gas fees had dropped to a 12-month low of 3 gwei, following a successful optimization patch tied to the Pectra upgrade. She argued that this development adds a fundamental layer of support to her bullish outlook. Lingrid also noted that the broader digital asset market came under pressure earlier this week following structural adjustments by the Federal Reserve under newly appointed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Despite this, the analyst highlighted that Ethereum’s on-chain data show institutional staking inflows have quietly risen over the last 24 hours.

With that phase out of the way, Lingrid believes the Ethereum price is finally preparing for a rapid push back toward $2,300. Featured image from CFI, chart from TradingView

From Trading Tool to Payment Backbone: How Stablecoins Are Powering Everyday Transactions
A payments operations manager who once spent days chasing confirmations across correspondent banks, watching settlement windows stretch into weeks, can today close the same transaction in seconds, with documentation on-chain and a stablecoin doing the work that once required multiple intermediaries and a waiting game. That shift is now showing up in the data at scale. For years, stablecoins were a tool for crypto traders, useful inside the ecosystem and largely invisible outside it. Then came the GENIUS Act that gave the market something it had never had, a federal framework for stablecoin issuance. Institutions that had been watching from a distance began moving in. In Europe, MiCA also created an entirely new market for non-USD stablecoins, which now runs around $10 billion in monthly volume. Neither piece of legislation created the underlying demand. Both made it easier to act on it. Something fundamental has changed in how people use stablecoins now. They are no longer holding them. They are spending them. Consumer-to-business transactions almost doubled in 2025. Total adjusted transfer volume hit $4.5 trillion in Q1 2026 alone . Each dollar of stablecoin supply is changing hands more than twice as often as it was two years ago. The behaviour has shifted and the data confirms it. Where XDC Fits In While the broader market was still debating whether stablecoins had a future in real finance, networks supporting real-world financial activity were already seeing adoption accelerate. USDC on XDC has processed over $12.7 billion in transactions to date, while Liqi, a Brazilian fintech tokenizing receivables and trade assets on XDC, is clearing more than $100 million daily, highlighting how stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets are increasingly operating on-chain financial ecosystem. “We built XDC around a gap we saw years ago between what institutional finance actually needed and what blockchain infrastructure was delivering. While much of the market was focused on short-term speculation and meme-driven narratives, we stayed committed to building for real users, real use cases, and real distribution channels. From two-second finality and near-zero transaction costs to full alignment with ISO 20022 and MLETR, every part of the network was designed to solve inefficiencies in trade finance, payments, and tokenization. The growth we’re seeing today from USDC adoption to the daily volumes being processed by partners like Liqi is the market gradually moving toward the exact use cases XDC was built for," said Jeremy Noori, Head of Structured Products, XDC Network. Stablecoins Are Going Local, Not Just Global Stablecoin adoption is on the path of rapid geographic expansion. The Asia region has led the way, with markets like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan building out institutional infrastructure backed by clear regulatory frameworks. The United States, energised by GENIUS has witnessed volumes climb sharply as banks, fintechs, and payment processors are moving. But the most revealing part of the story is not who adopted stablecoins. It is what they are using them for. Domestic transactions now account for nearly three-quarters of total stablecoin payment volume, up from roughly half just two years ago. People are not just using stablecoins to send money abroad. They are using them to pay for things at home. Stablecoins are not globalising payments. They are localising them. Where the Next Wave Starts Emerging markets are where this shift is felt most. Brazil makes the case most clearly. A government-backed instant payment system processing over 60 million transactions a day, a population comfortable with digital finance, and a volatile local currency created the conditions for stablecoin adoption to take hold quickly. The Brazilian real-backed stablecoin BRLA grew from virtually no usage to around $400 million in monthly transfer volume compared to the last 2-3 years according to Chainalysis . Stablecoins did not replace Brazil's financial infrastructure. They built on top of it. That is the model the rest of the world is watching. "Brazil is the story everyone should be paying attention to," said Diego Consimo, Head of Latin America at XDC Network. "When you connect a stablecoin to infrastructure people already trust and use every day, adoption follows fast. Latin America has the economic conditions that make stablecoins genuinely useful, high remittance volumes, currency volatility, and large underbanked populations. XDC is building towards being the settlement layer for that activity as it scales." The Infrastructure Question The debate about whether stablecoins belong in real finance is over. The question now is which networks are ready for what comes next. Stablecoins are no longer a single-market story. From the United States to Europe to Latin America, adoption is accelerating across corridors and use cases that barely existed two years ago. The market is not converging on one instrument or one region. It is expanding into infrastructure that is global in design and local in practice. Emerging economies and cross-border trade corridors are increasingly turning toward stablecoin-powered settlement systems as traditional financial infrastructure struggles to keep pace with global commerce. Growing market demand and improving regulatory clarity are further accelerating the shift toward faster, more efficient, and digitally connected financial ecosystems.

Everyone Is Calling For Lower Bitcoin Price: Why This Is The Perfect Time To Go Parabolic
A crypto analyst has said that almost everyone in the market has turned bearish on the Bitcoin price, as it continues to face heavy volatility following its last rejection near $83,000 . However, while most market participants hold negative outlooks, this analyst holds a different view. He believes that Bitcoin is not heading for a decline but is instead preparing to go parabolic. He also dismisses the idea of an ongoing bear market , and warns investors not to miss the projected rally ahead. Analyst Sees Bitcoin Price Going Parabolic Soon Crypto Fergani, a market analyst, has announced that currently “everyone is bearish” in the crypto market and “everyone is calling for lower targets.” In an X post released on May 21, the expert noted that, contrary to the negative sentiment and foreboding Bitcoin price forecasts flooding the market, there has been no bearish news about Bitcoin. Instead, Crypto Fergani said that mostly bullish developments have been occurring. He noted that major institutions have been accumulating BTC as adoption for the leading cryptocurrency grows even faster globally. Because of these, the analyst maintains a firm belief that the market is pointing toward a possible uptrend. Crypto Fergani stated that people who think that the Bitcoin bear market is still running deserve to miss the potential upward rally that he believes is coming. According to the analyst, the BTC price will go parabolic soon, targeting new all-time highs . He supports his bullish outlook by comparing Bitcoin’s price action with that of the 2022 cycle, where the cryptocurrency skyrocketed by 54.2% after a period of bearishness and sideways consolidation. He expects this uptrend to affect not just Bitcoin but also alternative cryptocurrencies . As such, the analyst projects that altcoins could rally by 50x to 100x on average soon. His accompanying chart also predicts a potential climb in the BTC price from current levels above $74,000 toward $128,000, representing a more than 72% rally. Ahead of this projected price surge, Crypto Fergani has warned investors and traders to lock in gains before they miss out. BTC’s True Bottom Confirmed Near The $47,000 Zone Many analysts remain skeptical about Bitcoin’s price outlook, as numerous bearish forecasts have spread across the market. A recent analysis shared by crypto expert Bee on X suggests that Bitcoin is currently in the final phase of its market cycle before it forms a real bottom. According to the analyst, every bounce the cryptocurrency has experienced since it recorded its peak above $126,000 in October 2025 has been met with selling pressure. Furthermore, each recovery following these sell-offs has been weaker than the last, pointing to a gradual reduction of bullish momentum. Bee also noted that Bitcoin dumping is getting more aggressive . He described the current phase as one where retail investors call for a bottom each week, only for the market to prove them wrong. He warned that BTC could continue its distinct pattern of lower highs and lower lows until a real flush wipes out all the overleveraged positions. For his Bitcoin outlook, Bee projects a sharp price crash toward the $47,000 to $52,000 region, which he identifies as a potential final bottom . He believes this is the level at which the current market cycle could finally come to an end, making way for a fresh bull cycle. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
