On Sunday, July 4, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency Ethereum (ETH) is showing strong momentum northwards. The Ethereum (ETH) price has moved past its crucial resistance of $2300 for the first time in the last 16 days.
With this, ETH’s weekly gains have moved to nearly 20% as the crypto struggled under $2000 for quite some while. However, ETH’s move above $2350 levels has been short-lived and Ethereum is showing partial retracement. At press time, the ETH price is 1.78% up trading at $2257 with a market cap of $262 billion.
The recent price surge could be due to the excitement around the London hardfork scheduled ahead this month. This upcoming Ethereum network upgrade will bring the implementation for EIP-1559. It will implement a “base fee” model to significantly reduce the ETH gas fee. As a result, the EIP-1559 holds major significance for investors, however, it has opposed by the miners recently.
Ethereum 2.0 Staking and Purpose Ether ETF
Long-term ETH holders and whales have been continuously accumulating Ethereum as per on-chain data. As per data on CryptoQuant, the Ethereum staking rate has recently crossed 5% with a large number of long-term deposits in Ethereum 2.0 deposit contracts. The data provider writes:
“Paired with sideways movement in the ETH reserves (all exchanges) and decreasing net flows, it looks like ranging will go on for a while, still, but the long-term outlook remains positive despite prices oscillating at critical levels”.
