DeFi blue chips have also been rallying higher.<\/p>\n<p>The DeFi sector has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/btc\/the-number-of-active-bitcoin-addresses-is-rocketing-towards-all-time-highs\/\">Ethereum&rsquo;s<\/a> immense strength throughout the past day, with many posting V-shaped recoveries that appear to mark their recent lows as a long-term bottom.<\/p>\n<p>If these tokens continue rallying higher and mark their recent lows as a long-term bottom, there&rsquo;s a strong possibility that yield farming and trading volumes on decentralized exchanges will begin rising once again.<\/p>\n<p>This will greatly benefit ETH, driving transaction volume, fees, and further network utility to the blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>One well-known Ethereum whale &ndash; with a supposed average entry of below $2.00 per ETH &ndash; is now noting that the cryptocurrency is defying &ldquo;3-years of market structure&rdquo; with this latest push higher.<\/p>\n<p>He notes that any pullbacks in the near-term are unlikely to last long and will likely be followed by immense upside.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ethereum Holds Above $450 as Bulls Eye Upside<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/btc\/its-do-or-die-for-altcoins-as-bitcoin-continues-capturing-dominance\/\">Ethereum<\/a> is trading down just under 2% at its current price of $450. Bulls have been ardently trying to defend this price region throughout the past few hours.<\/p>\n<p>This level was previously resistance, but it could soon transform into support if bulls continue holding it above here throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>If flipped into a strong support level, this price could provide bulls with a great base to grow upon.<\/p>\n<p>The next key level to watch will be $500, as a rejection or break above this level will be significant and set the tone for where the market will trend in the months ahead.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Early ETH Investor: Upside is Likely Imminent for the Token<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One early Ethereum investor who goes by the pseudonym &ldquo;Tetranode&rdquo; explained in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tetranode\/status\/1324907990630105088\">a recent tweet<\/a> that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/ripple-xrp-price-could-surge-past-0-25\/\">cryptocurrency<\/a> is currently defying a multi-year bearish market structure &ndash; indicating that serious upside could be imminent.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&ldquo;Still on track, the cup formed and now I expect a handle. If there is a pullback as we hit the 460-480 range, it&rsquo;s probably not going to last very long. Defying 3-years of market structure is an exercise in futility.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"860\" height=\"489\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-449114\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/EmMDgLyVkAA5Rg1-860x489.png\" alt=\"Ethereum\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/EmMDgLyVkAA5Rg1-860x489.png 860w, https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/EmMDgLyVkAA5Rg1-460x262.png 460w, https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/EmMDgLyVkAA5Rg1-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/EmMDgLyVkAA5Rg1-750x427.png 750w, https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/EmMDgLyVkAA5Rg1-1140x649.png 1140w, https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/EmMDgLyVkAA5Rg1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\"\/><\/p>\n<pre>Image Courtesy of Tetranode.<\/pre>\n<p>The coming few days should provide insight into Ethereum&rsquo;s mid-term outlook, as a sustained bout of trading above $450 will likely provide it with some serious momentum.<\/p>\n<pre>Featured image from Unsplash.\nPricing data from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/ETHUSD\/\">TradingView<\/a>.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum is currently expressing some immense signs of strength as the cryptocurrency rallies higher while Bitcoin drifts lower.
