  • Ethereum price breaks past $3,000 igniting altseason sentiments. 
  • The price of ETH is outperforming BTC, despite Bitcoin’s latest ATH.
  • Whales and institutions are frantically buying more ETH or moving them to cold wallets.

The crypto market is in high spirits today as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is shooting through new ATH prices, starting with $113,000 and breaking past the $118,000 target . The same bullish frenzy is rippling through the rest of the crypto market, with most of the attention of the Ethereum (ETH) price. The pioneer altcoin asset’s slow movement finally seems to be at an end as the Ethereum price breaks past $3,000.

Ethereum Price Breaks Past $3,000 Target

The price of Ethereum had a very slow start this bull cycle, refusing to pump all through the previous year as Bitcoin went on to set a string of new ATH prices. This year, after Bitcoin’s Q1-long correction phase, the price of the pioneer altcoin asset finally bottomed at $1,700. Soon after, in the next quarter, the price of ETH pumped quickly to the $2,700 price range where it had been stuck. 

That is, until now, with Bitcoin’s latest rally past the $118,000 bull target, this seems to have finally given ETH enough fuel to break past the $3,000 price barrier. Analysts confirmed that the prolonged correction phase in Q1 led to a much healthier crypto market, which meant greater pumps for BTc and altcoins in particular. Since then, the crypto community has been waiting for any event to trigger the highly potential pioneer asset. 

According to CoinMarketCap analytics, the price of ETH is now trading just above the $3,000 price range. As the platform depicts, the pioneer altcoin asset has a total market cap of $362,620,217,938.22 and is boasting a 24-hour trading volume of $38,467,734,409.04. While the price of BTC is up over 6%, the price of ETH is up by almost 7% showing that ETH is indeed outperforming BTC .
