Ethereum (ETH) The price has reached $3,000 today, two years later, will there be a Long increase?
Market Cap's second-largest Crypto Assets Ether coin (ETH) hit its highest level since April 2022. Ethereum's native Crypto Assets briefly topped $3,000 before quickly facing a price correction.
In recent weeks, the entire Crypto Assets market has been filled with bullish sentiment following massive inflows into the recently launched Spot Bitcoin ETF (Exchange Traded Fund). Since the SEC approved Bitcoin ETFs, eyes have turned to the possibility of other spot crypto-based ETFs in other Crypto Assets like ETH and XRP.
Speculation surrounding the approval of the Ethereum ETF in May was one of several factors driving the recent price surge. The anticipation of the approval and launch of Bitcoin-based investment products has filled the crypto market with positive sentiment about the upward trend of Bitcoin prices.
As previously reported, Options traders expect the price of the Crypto Assets to reach $4,000 in the coming months. This predicted price range will be close to the Token's all-time high (ATH) of $4,800 during the last market Bull Market in November 2021.
However, the first test of the move towards $4,000 is the $3,000 resistance level. As Ether rekindles momentum, analysts assess its movement and believe that $3,000 could be a milestone after the digital asset showed strong resistance in the $2,800 support zone.
Today, the second-largest Crypto Assets temporarily broke through this key resistance zone, an achievement not seen since the end of April 2022. However, Ethereum's native Token could not maintain momentum for long and faced a price pullback to the $2,900 level.
Recent developments in Ethereum prices have made Xu Long investors optimistic about the second largest Crypto Assets. Some analysts have even made bullish forecasts for the AltCoin market as a whole.
Whales have also reacted to ETH's recent uptrend. According to Spot on Chain's X post, a Whale allegedly bought 54,721 ETH for $2,845 24 hours before the post. The value of these transactions is around $155.7 million, indicating that the large players in the market have a positive attitude towards the asset. However, according to the Blockchain analytics platform, a dormant whale involved in the Ethereum ICO woke up after 8 years.
After the price of ETH exceeded $3,000, the Whale appeared to deposit about half of its ETH holdings into an exchange. The deal transferred 1,732 ETH worth about $5.15 million to a Crypto Assets exchange.
The deal sparked slight concerns that a massive sell-off could affect ETH's upward trend. Crypto Assets investors are now wary of large holders trying to dump assets to profit from rising markets.
ETH is currently trading at $3001.67, up 2.61% from the previous hour. Not only that, but the price is still up 11.2% in the last week.
More notably, the daily trading volume of Ether increased by 47.10% to $20.6 billion in the last 24 hours, indicating an increase in market activity. Similarly, ETH easily maintained its position as the second-largest Crypto Assets by Market Cap, rising 0.82% on the final day to reach a total Market Cap of $351.29 billion.
