Ethereum reclaims $3,000 for the second time in February

• ETH has started trading above $3,000.
• Open Interest remained above $10 billion.

After residing below this threshold for several days, Ethereum [ETH] has re-entered the $3,000 price range. This shift in the price range has concurrently led to an increase in ETH’s supply in profit.

Ethereum remains in the overbought zone

Analysis of Ethereum’s daily timeframe chart revealed a modest 2.43% increase on the 24th of February, pushing its price to approximately $2,992 at the close of the trading session.

Subsequently, Ethereum continued its positive momentum at the time of writing with an additional 1.5% increase, bringing the price back into the $3,000 range.

This was the second time that ETH had surpassed the $3,000 threshold this month, a level not observed for over a year.

These recent upward movements have also elevated Ethereum’s Relative Strength Index (RSI). Previously, the RSI had experienced a decline and settled at 70. But at press time, it stood at 75.

This indicated that Ethereum was still in a robust bull trend and was residing in the overbought zone at press time.

Ethereum supply in profit climbs to months-high

Ethereum’s Total Supply in Profit has consistently grown in recent weeks, with the surge beyond the $3,000 price level contributing significantly.

This surge has propelled the Total Supply in Profit to a level where over 90% of ETH’s entire ETH supply was in profit at press time.
