ETH Prepares for Another Leg Higher
Ethereum has settled nicely above the $600 resistance level after clearing this level in yesterday’s late sessions. Bullish news from Vitalik Buterin over the imminent rollout of the first stage of the highly anticipated ETH 2.0 upgrade at the start of December fuelled the coin higher in today’s sessions.
ETHUSD traded to a new multi-month high at $621 before retracting lower to its current price of $608.

As long as the world’s top altcoin trades above the $600 level of support, there is a high probability that it could surge higher above $625 in the coming sessions.
Interestingly, Ethereum’s rally coincided with the XRP price exploding by up to 40% in the past 24 hours. The altcoin traded as high as $0.92 on Coinbase before correcting lower to its current price of $0.676 as per data from CoinMarketCap.
Ethereum Faces No Intense Resistance On Its Toward $800
Selling pressure may be temporarily hampering Ethereum’s climb in the near-term, but one analyst believes that the asset could embark on an impressive rally soon.
Analyst Smart Contractor explained on Twitter that once the $600 resistance is shattered, the second-largest crypto may see its next leg higher toward $800.
“I repeat, there is no resistance on ETH from here until $800, literally nothing, that is all, “he emphasized.
