Ethereum prepares to battle for $3,000 as a stagnant Bitcoin watches on

February 22, 2024

ETHEREUM is trading for around $2,992 this morning, up by almost 3% over 24 hours, after briefly breaching $3k earlier today.

Analysts say that talks of a spot ETH ETF may be driving market momentum. 

Bitcoin continues to hang around the $51,800-$52,000 region, with the market leader virtually unmoved overnight. 

Many of the large-caps, Ethereum aside, are slowly inching upward as price movements have been generally muted overnight. 

Looking at traditional finance, minutes from the FOMC’s meeting last month were released yesterday, the takeaway being a cautious sense of optimism from US policymakers, but rate trimming may come later than expected.
