The Ethereum price has risen by 0.5% in the past 24 hours, reaching $1,866 as the cryptocurrency market enjoys a similar gain today.
ETH is now down by 2% in a week but up by 14% in the last 14 days, with the market's biggest altcoin also increasing by 56% since the beginning of the year.

Similarly, its 30-day moving average (yellow) has flattened out after looking as though it might be falling towards its 200-day average (blue), something which could indicate further gains to come.

This argument is supported by the fact that whales have spent much of the week apparently
