Ethereum has shot higher over the past 24 hours as Bitcoin has tried to consolidate after a 10% New Year’s Day rally. ETH is now up around 30% in the past 24 hours, pushing to $985 per coin after many days of consolidation.
Ethereum traded as high as $1,005 minutes ago. ETH has pulled back slightly as it has seemingly encountered strong selling pressure at that key technical resistance.
The cryptocurrency is now strongly outperforming BTC. Where ETH is up around 28% in the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has only gained approximately 3%.
This trend is expected to continue as attention once again lands on altcoins.
While Ethereum is encountering some initial resistance at $1,000, there may be clear skies for the cryptocurrency above that key level.
One crypto-asset trader recently shared the tweet below. He claims that per the order book data, there is little selling pressure for Ethereum above $1,000.
Should this data be accurate, that means that any strong move above $1,000 is likely to trigger a large leg higher.

Ethereum is expected to see some resistance in the $1,200-1,300 region, which is just shy of the all-time high for ETH’s price of $1,450.
Analysts are optimistic that this bullish price action in ETH will eventually trickle down to the rest of the altcoin market.

It’s been quite the past few days for the Bitcoin price. After trading as low as $11,200 last week, the cryptocurrency has rocketed higher. BTC now trades for $12,940 as of this article’s writing, just shy of the $13,000 daily highs it reached just hours ago.

Bitcoin just tapped $13,000 as buying pressure continues to erupt across the industry. Analysts think that Bitcoin is poised to squeeze higher despite already gaining almost 9% in the past day’s trading session.
Analysts note that Bitcoin’s funding rates on leading futures markets are currently negative to barely positive. This suggests that the cryptocurrency has room to squeeze higher as there remain short holders.
“The other times that BTC tried to break $12k, funding and premium were positive. They are neutral/negative now. So yeah, this time is different.”

Fundamental trends are also bullish as the U.S. continues to push towards another fiscal stimulus bill. Analysts say that closure on this bill will push Bitcoin higher as it will mark a further injection of capital into the economy.
