Upwards of $32 million worth of ETH tokens were unlocked, however ETH holders signaled their confidence in the altcoin, despite the mounting selling pressure on the second-largest asset by market capitalization.
These three catalysts are driving Ethereum price higher
The rise in crypto market capitalization, US PPI data and Twitter’s partnership with eToro for implementing crypto trading for users are the key catalysts that fueled Ethereum’s run up to the $2,000 level.
Crypto market capitalization is inching closer to $1.3 trillion after Bitcoin’s massive rally to the psychological barrier at $30,000. The rising market cap of digital assets is a sign of rising confidence among crypto traders for cryptocurrencies like Ethereum.
Interestingly, the release of US Consumer Price Index for March 2023 and PPI print on Thursday, shows that traders expect disinflation. This is a bullish sign for risk assets like Ethereum.

With social media giant Twitter enabling crypto trading through its partnership with eToro, traders gained confidence in cryptocurrencies and alternative cryptos like Ethereum. The anticipation surrounding the ETH upgrade was dispelled by a smooth completion of the Shanghai hard fork.
Where is Ethereum headed next
Bluntz_Capital, a crypto analyst and trader, predicted a rally in Ethereum price. Experts believe ETH is on track to rally to the zone between $2,400 and $2,800 level. Ethereum price could climb to the $2,400 level for lack of a critical resistance between $2,000 and $2,400.
