Ethereum's recent breakout from its October downtrend has caught the attention of analysts. The cryptocurrency's price has increased by 20% since the start of the conflict, while the total market cap has risen by around 18%. This surge in value is significant, especially considering that Ethereum was hit hard during the October correction.
The reasons behind Ethereum's resurgence are twofold. Firstly, the conflict has led to a shift away from traditional assets and towards digital ones. Secondly, Ethereum's mining process is energy-intensive, which means that increasing energy costs will reduce mining activity, leading to a temporary supply restriction. This, in turn, has boosted cryptocurrency prices.
From a technical standpoint, Ethereum is currently forming a bull channel on its daily chart. This is a positive sign, indicating that the price may continue to rise. The target for this bull channel is around $2,500, which has not been seen since January. To confirm this trend, analysts will be looking for an hourly close above $2,330.
