ETHs Record Monthly Txns and Daily Address Interaction Could Point to a Local Top for ETH
Twitter user @ape_rture was quick to relate the high daily active Ethereum addresses to the ETH market top experienced in early 2018.
It’s hard to be bullish on $ETH when you see something like this happen. Peaks of the Daily Active Addresses line up with market tops.
This observation could hint at Ethereum having exhausted its bullish momentum ahead of ETH2.0.
Brief Market Analysis of Ethereum (ETH)
However, Bitcoin is once again showing signs of bullishness as BTC tries to reclaim $9,300. Additionally, the S&P 500 is looking a bit bullish on the daily chart with its value hovering above $3,100. To note is that both Ethereum and Bitcoin are currently highly correlated to the traditional markets.
Therefore, with new rumors of another possible US stimulus package in the pipeline, a confirmation of checks going out to US citizens could be the spark needed to push both the stock and crypto markets further up. As a result, the earlier identified Ethereum bull flag might just play out with ETH attempting to break the $250 and the $290 resistance levels. At the time of writing this, Ethereum (ETH) is valued at $231.
As with all analyses of Ethereum, traders and investors are advised to use risk management techniques such as stop losses and using lower leverage during uncertain times.
