Ethereum (ETH) has been incurring significant upwards momentum over the past several days and weeks and has been able to sustain its upwards momentum despite the drop in the aggregated crypto markets that occurred over the past 24-hours.<\/p>\n

This upwards momentum has allowed the cryptocurrency to surge to fresh monthly highs, and analysts are now noting that ETH may be able to drag the entire crypto markets up during the next coming days and weeks.<\/p>\n

Ethereum Surges Past $220 as Bulls Roar<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Ethereum<\/a> is trading up over 4% at its current price<\/a> of $222.87, which marks a significant surge from its recent lows of $175 that were set last week.<\/p>\n

This upwards momentum has proven to be very positive for the aggregated crypto market<\/a> and has come as most other major altcoins are surging higher.<\/p>\n

As for what could be driving this upwards surge, multiple analysts have pointed to improving fundamentals as one potential catalyst for an ETH bull run, while others have also noted that multiple metrics may be pointing to the possibility that ETH is currently being accumulated by investors.<\/p>\n

Sentiment, a crypto market insights provider, spoke about this in a recent tweet, pointing to declining ETH token circulation and a declining \u201cactive coin\u201d number as signs that Ethereum is currently being accumulated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s also a number of metrics suggesting accumulation: 1. Token Circulation (# of unique ETH being used each day) continues to decline over the past 5 months\u2026 2. Ethereum’s maximal mean age (avg. age that each coin has remained in its current address) continues to rise\u2026 3. # of active coins over a period of 90 days has begun to decline as of recently,\u201d they explained in the thread seen below.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
