Ethereum (ETH) Price Trends
Ethereum is in its best form since it broke into the cryptocurrency scene. Ether’s performance this year so far has been nothing but spectacular as it continues to break boundaries. The price of ETH climbed to a new high of $1,543 in the early trading hours of February 3. Hours later, ETH smashed the $1,600 mark, touching another new all-time high ($1,651) and breaking a key resistance level.
Ethereum’s current value means the digital asset is up by over 1,700% in under 12 months, trading less than $100 in March 2020. The cryptocurrency is also up 26% over the past seven days as ETH is described to be in a “price discovery mode” and could surge past the $2000 mark in the coming weeks as there is little to no resistance in sight.
At the time of filing this report, ETH is trading at $1,748.60, with about an 11% price uptrend in the last 24 hours.

Institutional interest in ETH is also on the rise as many institutional investors see the digital set as a store of value thanks to its strong performance and returns.
