Ethereum Price Analysis

Recently, we saw a decent upward move in ETH price above the $122 level against the US Dollar. The ETH/USD pair tested the $125 resistance zone and later corrected lower. It declined below the $124 and $122 levels to start a short term downside correction. There was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $115 swing low to $125 high. The price even traded below the $120 level, but it stayed above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Moreover, there was a break below a short term contracting triangle with support at $119 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair tested the $117 level, where buyers emerged. Besides, it traded close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $115 swing low to $125 high. The pair is currently trading above the $116 support, with a few bearish signs. To climb higher, the price must break the $122 and $123 resistance levels. On the other hand, if it fails to move past $122, ETH sellers may push the price towards the $114 support.

Looking at the chart, ETH price is placed nicely above the $114 support and the 100 hourly SMA. Going forward, there could be range moves above $114 before the price makes the next move. It could either break the $122 resistance or extend the downside correction below $114.

More Dangerous Than The NSA? The Massive Spy Agency You Haven’t Heard Of

Authored by Alice Salles via TheAntiMedia.org,

If you’re one of the countless Americans who was distraught to learn of the revelations made by former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden, the mere idea that there might be yet another agency out there – perhaps just as powerful and much more intrusive – should give you goosebumps.

Foreign Policy reports that the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, or NGA, is an obscure spy agency former President Barack Obama had a hard time wrapping his mind around back in 2009. But as the president grew fond of drone warfare, finding a way to launch wars without having to go through Congress for the proper authorization, the NGA also became more relevant. Now, President Donald Trump is expected to further explore the multibillion-dollar surveillance network.

Like the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA), the NGA is an intelligence agency, but it also serves as a combat support institution that functions under the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).

With headquarters bigger than the CIA’s, the building cost $1.4 billion to be completed in 2011. In 2016, the NGA bought an extra 99 acres in St. Louis, building additional structures that cost taxpayers an extra $1.75 billion.

Enjoying the extra budget Obama threw at them, the NGA became one of the most obscure intelligence agencies precisely because it relies on the work of drones.

As a body of government that has only one task — to analyze images and videos captured by drones in the Middle East — the NGA is mighty powerful. So why haven’t we heard of it before?

The Shadow Agency That Sees It All

Prior to Trump’s inauguration, the NGA only targeted the Middle East or whatever spy satellites orbiting the globe captured. As far as most of us knew, the agency refrained from pointing its ultra-high-resolution cameras toward the United States. That alone may be why the NGA has been able to stay out of scandals for the most part.
