This focus on yield comes as Ethereum’s price shows short-term weakness. ETH traded around $1,570 at press time, down 4.01% over 24 hours according to CoinMarketCap, although it remained up over 7% for the week.
According to analyst Ted Pillows, the chances of ETH holding above the $1,550-$1,600 price level are high as the “global markets are gaining some strength.” The analyst expects a breakout above $1,670 and a rally upwards of $2,000 in the near future.
