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.
