The second biggest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, has been generating buzz in the past few days as the market rebounded. At the time of writing, the global cryptocurrency market is up 2%, according to CoinGecko\u2019s latest <\/span>data<\/span><\/a>. This has presented a bullish signal for investors, which is certainly the reason for Ethereum\u2019s recent price ascent.<\/span><\/p>\n The latest market data shows ETH <\/span>pumping<\/span><\/a> nearly 3% since last week. Although its rise is slightly slower than that of Bitcoin, this is a positive sign for investors in the long run. Ethereum\u2019s upcoming Shanghai network upgrade is also expected to solidify the altcoin\u2019s position in investor portfolios.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Following the general market’s upward trend, Ethereum has left the bears with a beating, leading to a significant amount of short positions being liquidated. CoinGlass data shows that over $26 million worth of short positions were <\/span>liquidated<\/span> in the past 24 hours. The website also shows that the bulls have a slight advantage against the bears as sentiment flipped in their favor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the only bullish signal for investors, as US equities have been experiencing a bounce as well despite the <\/span>recent<\/span><\/a> interest rate hike introduced by the US Federal Reserve. This can be a sign that investors are willing to take on riskier assets, such as cryptocurrencies, as their appetite for risk grows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, certain metrics show a bearish trend that investors should take into consideration. Nansen.ai\u2019s recent <\/span>weekly research roundup<\/span><\/a> shows that addresses holding less than 100 ETH has dropped by 37% since 2022. Despite that, retail addresses with less than 1 ETH increased by nearly 20% year-to-date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It’s happening \ud83c\udf8a<\/p>\n Shapella is scheduled on mainnet for epoch 194048, scheduled for 22:27:35 UTC on Apr. 12, 2023 \ud83d\udcc6<\/p>\n Client releases compatible with the upgrade are listed in the announcement below \ud83d\udc47https:\/\/t.co\/I0hSv9lnjz<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 timbeiko.eth \u2600\ufe0f (@TimBeiko) March 28, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Investors should take this as a sign that retail investor sentiment towards cryptocurrencies is recovering, despite the disastrous year that was 2022. Ethereum holders should also expect the altcoin to pump heavily as the <\/span>Shanghai upgrade<\/span><\/a> nears. Developers on the Ethereum blockchain have set the launch date at April 12th.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nSource: Coingecko<\/pre>\n
