Ethereum has strengthened by 3.5% in the past 24 hours, finding itself pegged at $2000. Other altcoins in the top 10 gained between 0.4% (Solana) and 5.5% (XRP).

Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market’s protracted tug-of-war promises to resolve with a strong move in one direction. However, there is hope for both bulls and bears. The latter has a minor advantage, as we saw this area touch down from above in January and June-July 2021. But now, all the fighting is concentrated below.
