Ethereum Price Surged Over 20% in Last Seven Days and Its Network Fees Record All-Time High
At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading close to $1,680, which is around a 21% price surge in the last 7 days. Before that, it surged from $1,285 to a high of $1,749.88 in the month of February. According to the technical analysis, bulls are in control, and if it sustains the support of $1,675, then the next target on the upside is $2,000. However, this positive view will invalidate if Ether breaks below the 20-day EMA ($1,410), and this may lead to a deeper correction towards the $1,100 range.
Furthermore, as Ethereum enters into a new all-time high territory, its network fees also soar. Additionally, the gas fees on the Ether network was so high this week that some exchanges were forced to pause ETH withdrawals. According to YCharts, the average ETH fee was $25.93. Despite this, asset management giants such as Grayscale are buying every dip in Ethereum price for its Ether Trust.
