Ethereum Reaches Critical Level as Analysts Eye Move Past $1,000

Bitcoin

Ethereum has been caught within a wildly bullish tailwind as of late, with buyers sending its price rocketing up towards $1,000 this morning.

This marked an end to a trend of severe underperformance against Bitcoin that has plagued the cryptocurrency for quite some time.

One trader is now noting that where the crypto trends next will undoubtedly depend at least partially on whether or not Bitcoin will continue rocketing higher or if it will pause and give altcoins a chance to gain some ground against it.

Ethereum Rockets as Bulls Take the Wheel

Ethereum has been surprisingly losing ground against Bitcoin throughout the past few weeks, with buyers unable to absorb a lot of the selling pressure it faces as investors rushed into BTC.

This trend shifted overnight, with ETH rallying from the $700 region to highs of nearly $1,000 before facing some immense selling pressure that sent it down to $900.

It has since rebounded off of these lows and is now on its way back up to the resistance it has in the upper-$900 region.

Analyst: ETH Reaches a “Key Level” as Uptrend Continues 

One analyst recently pointed to $955 as a crucial historical level that the cryptocurrency needs to break above to see further upside.

The crypto is now trading exactly at this level, confirming that it is, in fact, a key resistance that needs to be broken above.

“ETH: Key level IMO. Who am I kidding though, probably just gets blown through because BTC showed us none of those old levels mean [anything] anyways.”

Whether or not this level can be broken cleanly above and flipped to support should provide investors with some serious insights into where the market will trend next.
