Following a rejection around the $750 price region some hours ago, Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has somewhat regained momentum for higher highs.
A couple of hours ago, ETH experienced an increase in selling pressure. The fact that Bitcoin (BTC), the first and largest digital currency, faced rejection somewhere around the $29,000 price region added to Ethereum’s challenges.

Over the past few days, ETH has not printed a significant upside trend compared to Bitcoin. However, there is still a strong possibility that a positive trend is around the corner for ETH, as the digital currency seems to be on a rapid accumulation.
At the time of publishing, Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $741.28, with about a 2% price increase in the last 24 hours. And it’s worth noting that the price of the cryptocurrency is relatively tending to the Bitcoin price trend.
Whales Are On Ethereum (ETH) Accumulation Spree
According to a crypto analytics platform, Santiment, the number of Ethereum wallets holding over 10,000 ETH has been on the increase over the past two months, which is the result of the current accumulation trend of the digital currency.
