Why Ethereum is up 8.7% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose 8.7% over the past 24 hours as fresh demand and bullish sentiment appeared to follow reports of notable ETH accumulation and “ETF flows” narratives, including CryptoPotato’s coverage of Erik Voorhees buying over 23,000 ETH as ETH hit a 6-week high. Momentum was further reinforced by a wave of forced covering after roughly $300 million in crypto shorts were liquidated as BTC and ETH pushed to 6-week peaks, which can accelerate upside moves in a short timeframe.
