This marks a notable surge from its lows of $380 that were set yesterday morning.<\/p>\n<p>The rally from these lows came about due to the deployment of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/uniswap\/prolonged-defi-slump-impending-uniswap-volume-drops-83-since-peak\/\">ETH 2.0<\/a> deposit contract address.<\/p>\n<p>For the highly anticipated network update to occur, the contract needs to reach the ETH threshold of roughly 525,000 ETH.<\/p>\n<p>Once this threshold is reached, the Beacon Chain will be launched, and the full transition to ETH 2.0 will begin.<\/p>\n<p>Although this has widely been seen as a bullish catalyst, bulls&rsquo; response to yesterday&rsquo;s news was relatively lackluster.<\/p>\n<p>The crypto remains well below its key $420 resistance that has been holding strong throughout the past few weeks.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ETH Could Soon Trigger a Massive Altseason<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While sharing his thoughts on Ethereum&rsquo;s near-term outlook, one analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IamCryptoWolf\/status\/1324285234725244928\">explained<\/a> that it is about to reach a massive support level against its Bitcoin trading pair.<\/p>\n<p>He notes that this could trigger the next altseason.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo;To be clear.
