ETH/USD has had an incredible past few weeks, consistent weekly gains have been observed for the past five consecutive weeks. As seen across most of the major altcoins, it appears to be that the longer-term trend is finally changing, after the heavy bearish moves seen from the start of the year. Ethereum has gained over 115% within the mentioned period.
