Chart of the Day
Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by Louis Sykes (@haumicharts). It’s a chart of the second-largest Cryptocurrency, Ethereum, over the past five years (ETH/USD). Louis points out that Ethereum is testing its former highs around $1,200-$1,400. If you’ve been following the Cryptocurrency space, you’ll recognize that this setup looks very similar to how Bitcoin looked a month ago. Price is attempting to break out of a multi-year base within a primary uptrend. This is still a crucial level to clear. But if we do break out to all-time highs in the next few weeks, things could get really interesting. With Bitcoin up more than 100% in the past month, it’s easy to say the Crypto space is overextended. But to Louis’ point, what if the party in the Crypto space is just getting started?
