Google Gets In On Ethereum Merge Excitement With Nifty Easter Egg!

The new feature has been added with just days left until the long-awaited Ethereum Merge.

As a sign of support for the upcoming Ethereum Merge, tech juggernaut Google is marking the time left until the upgrade with a new countdown timer.

Typing any variation of “Ethereum Merge” or “The Merge” into the search engine shows a countdown ticker, with the estimated time left until the Merge based on the current difficulty, hash rate and merge difficulty.

Off to the side is a cartoon of two happy pandas running toward each other with outstretched hands, which supposedly will get closer as the Merge date draws nearer.

Google Cloud developer Sam Padilla in a Friday tweet said that the timer was “a fun little surprise” and a way to show their appreciation of “the work that has been going into this for years.”

He said the work was done by Google’s search and labs team, but noted that he helped “kickstart” the idea and discussion that led to the timer being implemented.

In the same post, Padilla explained the timer is directly connected to the blockchain, updating the countdown in real-time, stating:

“The underlying data is getting pulled directly from the blockchain via some of the nodes we run.”

He also hinted that pandas get closer as the Merge date approaches, but made a tongue-in-cheek statement, saying: “But you didn’t hear that from me.”

Google is increasingly becoming involved in the crypto space, with the company establishing a Web3 team under Google Cloud on May 6.

However, Google developers are not the only ones watching the Merge with keen interest.

Recent Google search data has revealed that searches for the term “Ethereum Merge” generated a score above 50 several times over the last 30 days, reaching a peak of 100 on Sept. 3.

A value of 100 is classed as “peak popularity for the term,” while a value of 50 means the term is “half as popular.”

A score of 0 means there was not enough data for that day.

Meanwhile, a recent report by CoinGecko found Singapore as the country most interested in the upcoming Ethereum Merge, followed by Switzerland and Canada, Germany, the United States and the Netherlands.

Rankings were determined by analyzing the frequency of ten search terms, including Ethereum Merge,” “ETH Merge” and “Ethereum PoW,” then combining them for the overall ranking. - cointelegraph

Stop the Bleeding, Dollar Bulls Are Back! This Week's Prediction

The Euro to Dollar exchange rate held its ground for much of the week, but it ultimately ended the week at around 0.9750, down from its opening level of roughly 0.9800. Wall Street saw huge gains to start the fourth quarter, while government bonds continued their upward trend from the previous week. Risk-taking appetite is helping the EUR/USD. Investors anticipated that central banks will slow the rate of quantitative tightening in anticipation of a global recession. Such expectations and the demand for high yield assets were bolstered by the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA's) 25 basis point cash rate increase, which was less than expected. However, the positive energy was short-lived. On Wednesday, the value of the euro began to fall as the European Union recommended more sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine in February. To punish Russia for its illegal takeover of the Ukrainian territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, the international comm...

In other words, what does it mean when someone says that something is a "double top"?

When an asset reaches a high price twice in a row with a small price decrease in between, a double top, a highly unfavorable technical reversal pattern, occurs. It is common for the financial markets to see two peaks at once. When the asset's price drops below the low point between the two prior highs, this pattern is verified. The Meaning of a Double Top. The formation of a double top may indicate a shift in an asset class's medium- to long-term trend. Above is a chart depicting the double top pattern that formed in shares of Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) between September 2018 and October 2018 at a price of $2,050. In this case, the amount of backing that grew to roughly $1,880 was really significant. The double top was not verified until the price of the stock dropped below $1,880, even though it had fallen by about 8% from its October high. After that, the share price fell progressively, eventually settling at a level nearly 31% lower than its previous high. Using Netflix Inc. (...
