Euro appreciates, approaching highs at 0.8740

The EUR/GBP is trading higher for the second consecutive day on a holiday-thinned trading session on Wednesday. The pair has reached levels above 0.8730, after bouncing from mid-term lows near 0.8700 to test weekly highs in the 0.8740 area at the time of writing.

The Euro is behaving better than the Pound amid a moderately cautious market, in the absence of key fundamental drivers. Looking from a wider perspective, the pair remains 0.7% below mid-December highs but on track to close the year with a 5.5% appreciation.

Technical Analysis: Bulls are likely to be challenged above 0.8740

In the 4-hour chart, EUR/GBP trades at 0.8735, little changed on a daily basis. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has turned positive around the zero line, suggesting a strengthening bullish momentum. The RSI prints 57, rising above the 50 midline and pointing to improving upside pressure.

Immediate resistance aligns with last Monday’s high, at 0.8739, which is likely to test the strength of the pair’s recovery. Further up, the next targets are the December 19 high, at 0.8773, and the key resistance area around 0.8800 (December 2, 16, and 17 highs)

Support is seen at Tuesday’s low of 0.8706, ahead of the mid-October lows between 0.8655 and 0.8665.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
