Ethereum Hits 4-Year High In Network Growth: ETH Struggles at $2,200

• Ethereum network growth has hit a 4-year high on Sunday, confirmed Santiment.
• There is an increased chance of the digital asset breaking from the $2.2K-$2.3K level.
• ETH ETFs fail to bring the necessary capital for a bullish outbreak in Ether’s price.

Ethereum’s network is flourishing, reaching a four-year high in growth even as ETH, its native token, struggles around the $2,200 mark. This surge in network activity, particularly during a period of price decline, hints at a potential price reversal according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment.

Santiment’s data reveals a remarkable increase in new Ethereum wallets, reaching the four-month high of 126,210. This suggests growing network utility and sets the stage for possible price rebounds from the $2,200-$2,300 level. The timing of this surge, occurring on a typically quiet Sunday, further amplifies its significance.

While the network thrives, ETH’s price is at $2,288.45, facing resistance at the $2,800-$3,000 zone. Santiment added:

Generally, whatever the mid-term trend is for prices, major rises in network activity are more indicative of a price reversal. This rise in network growth is more rare when prices are dropping.
