Ethereum (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>), the world’s second-largest <a href="https://finbold.com/guides/cryptocurrency/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a>, has reached an 8-month high as it continues its upward trend toward $2,000. The price of ETH rose to $1,909 on Wednesday, April 5, marking a 5% increase in just 24 hours, this surge comes amid a broader market rally that saw Bitcoin (<a href="https://finbold.com/cryptocurrency/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>), the largest cryptocurrency, test resistance at $29,000.Ethereum’s on-chain activity has been steadily increasing over the past few months, with more and more users utilizing the network for various purposes. This uptick in activity has led to a surge in demand for Ethereum, with sharks (addresses holding 100-10,000) ETH accumulated $4.24 billion in the past 9 months, per the <a href="https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/1643343268875505665/photo/1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a> from crypto analytics firm Santiment on April 5.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/68e08b586e534bc799fc8c982c0865ce.jpg" />Ethereum sharks are accumulating.

Furthermore, Martinez suggests that there are minimal resistance supply walls between Ethereum and this critical level.<blockquote>“On-chain data reveals that the next critical resistance area is between $2,100 and $2,150, where over 200K addresses had previously purchased over 18M ETH.”</blockquote><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/142919105bad4b4da6ebc39ddbeb5c80.jpg" />Ali Martinez resistance levels.
