$700 Target is imminent for Ethereum, How long will it take?
Ethereum price successfully maintained and did a monthly close above $600, which indicates a bullish trend for the digital asset. The ETH price is on the verge to test the resistance levels at $618 and maintain above the levels to continue the bull run.
In fact, when the ETH price declined from $624 levels to as low as $478 levels within hours, many anticipated the price would drop down below $400. But it did the exact opposite and opted for a v-shaped recovery.
In the meantime, the ETH staking on the ETH 2.0 deposit contract address also exceeded the required amount by 50%. More than 700,000 ETH were staked and hence the launch of ETH 2.0 was triggered on 24 November 2020 as per the schedule.
As the ETH 2.0 beacon chain is expected to go live shortly, ETH price is expected to skyrocket. The prominent movement currently is to test the resistance levels at $618 and later to jump above $687 and finally surpass $700 in coming days.
However, considering the current price, ETH price at the time of composition stands at $607.7 with a gain of 4.03 percent in the past 24 hours. The market sentiments and the technical indicators are very bullish and point towards the ‘Buy’ signal.
