Ethereum Price Today: Why is ETH Up?

Ethereum price performance relative to its peers shows strength. While altcoins gave gains back to the market due to Bitcoin’s sudden downtrend, Ethereum price climbs higher. This strength shows a paradigm shift that hints at an end of Ether’s lackluster performance. If BTC consolidates or climbs higher, the ETH price could extend its gains. But a drop in BTC toward $90k could delay this uptrend.   could drop lower or climb higher.

Ethereum Price Outlook

ETH’s year-to-date (YTD) performance continues to increase and currently sits at 33%. This recent slump in Bitcoin price has affected the YTD gains, which have dropped from 50% since November 11. As of November 4, 2024, if you invested $10,000 in ETH on January 1, 2024, your portfolio, after 317 days, would be up roughly $3,317. Ethereum’s market capitalization stands at $432.9 billion.

Ethereum: The Second-Largest Crypto By Market Cap

Ethereum ranks second in market capitalization, valued at $432.9 billion, after Bitcoin’s $1.73 trillion. Together, BTC & ETH’s market capitalization constitutes 83% of the total crypto market cap.

Since its all-time high of $571 billion in November 2021, Ethereum’s value decreased by half in October, but has spiked recently due to Bitcoin’s new ATH. Still, Ethereum maintains a strong lead over other popular cryptocurrencies:
  • Solana (SOL): $98.8 billion
  • Ripple (XRP): $89.8 billion
  • BNB (BNB): $91.0 billion

Despite this recent downtick and recovery, the 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $34.8 billion.

Ethereum’s Crypto Trading Volume Soars

The 24-hour trading volume of Ethereum is $34.8 billion. Binance is the largest contributor to this trading volume – about 11% is contributed by spot trading and nearly 40% from futures trading. Exchanges like OKX, Bitget, and ByBit follow Binance.

Ethereum Upgrades to Proof-of-Stake Technology

The London hard fork is a significant Ethereum blockchain upgrade. It changed the network from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter). He explained how Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is more decentralized than Proof-of-Work (PoW).

Notable Ethereum Blockchain Upgrades in 5 Years

Here are some key upgrades in the past five years that shaped Ethereum as the second-largest crypto by market capitalization.

2024:

  • Cancun-Deneb (“Dencun”): This upgrade aimed to improve Ethereum’s scalability, security, and usability, setting the stage for further enhancements.
2023:
  • Shanghai-Capella (“Shapella”): Enabled the withdrawal of staked Ether (ETH), marking a significant milestone in Ethereum’s transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm.
2022:
  • Paris (The Merge): Successfully transitioned Ethereum from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, reducing energy consumption and increasing security.
  • Bellatrix: Prepared the Ethereum network for The Merge by introducing the necessary PoS consensus logic.
  • Gray Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” that would have slowed down the network, ensuring a smooth transition to PoS.
2021:
  • Arrow Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” again, providing more time for the transition to PoS.
  • Altair: Introduced several improvements to the Beacon Chain, including better validator incentives and enhanced security.
  • London: Implemented the highly anticipated EIP-1559, which reformed the transaction fee market, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
  • Berlin: Introduced several protocol upgrades, including improved gas efficiency and enhanced security features.
2020:
  • Beacon Chain genesis: Launched the Beacon Chain, marking the beginning of Ethereum’s transition to PoS.
  • Staking deposit contract deployed: Enabled users to deposit ETH and participate in the PoS consensus algorithm.
  • Muir Glacier: Delayed the “difficulty bomb” to ensure a smooth transition to PoS.

How ETH Gas Affects Ethereum Price

The blockchain upgrades Ethereum receives aim to solve the trilemma of blockchain, i.e., balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. The switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) enhanced these aspects. Ethereum’s transaction fees (gas fees) plummeted post-upgrade, drawing more investors. Gas fees are like taxes, measured in Gwei, required for secure transactions.

As of November 4, the gas fee for a transaction on the ETH network as of 11 PM is 14 Gwei.

When Ethereum’s on-chain value grows, presenting opportunities, investors flock, driving gas fees up. This typically occurs during market upswings, peaking at all-time highs.

Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Eyes $4,000 Retest

Despite the short-term exhaustion in Bitcoin price, Ethereum price remains strong and has triggered a breakout above the $3,500 critical hurdle. As discussed, this move bodes well for ETH, hinting at a $4,000 retest as it has breached the declining trend line and the horizontal resistance level at $3,500. This outlook shows strength and a shift in pradigm after a lackluster performance in 2024.

Bitcoin crash began after it formed a top on November 22. Since then, ETH has had a stellar performance and is a clear winner.

What’s Next for ETH price?

From a technical standpoint, ETH price has breached $3,500, suggesting that the next stop for bulls is $4,000. Ethereum price needs to rally another 10% to revisit this psychological level. However, if Bitcoin price crashes, ETH could also drop 3% to 5% and revisit $3,500 to $3,350 support levels. So long as these barriers hold, Ethereum price is primed for a retest of $4,000.

In a highly bullish case, where BTC consolidates, the smart contract token could revisit $5,000.  On the contrary, if Ethereum price breaches the $3,350 support level, it would invalidate the bullsih thesis and potentially trigger a 14% crash to $2,886.
