ETH Price Surges After PPI Inflation Data
ETH price jumped more than 2% in the past 24 hours, with the price currently trading at $4,411. The 24-hour low and high are $4,296 and $4,450, respectively.
Furthermore, the trading volume has increased by 36% in the last 24 hours, indicating a rise in interest among traders. This happens as the headline PPI inflation in the United States cooled to 2.6%, way below expectations of 3.3% and the previous reading of 3.3%. This prompted institutions, including Bitmine, to increase its ETH holdings.
Analysts expect a sudden big move in ETH price as the Bollinger Bands squeeze. As per IncomeSharks, ETH signals a good long opportunity as on-balance volume (OBV) is rising ahead of price.
