Despite the fact that the bull market has not fully taken off yet, ETH has proven to be sustainable, according to Ultra Sound Money.
This past month, Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, continued to stabilize, as can be seen by the statistics from CoinGecko; in the last 30 days, it gained about 36%. However, in the last seven days, ETH price recorded a 2.9% increase due to being floated within a narrow range between $1,670 and $1,550.
The strong performance in its price rise allowed Ethereum to start trading at levels not seen since before the sudden collapse of FTX.
