According to Leon, these factors are causing the supply level to fall. Ethereum , which, if current demand continues or increases, will lead to a further increase in the value of the cryptocurrency.
The bullish rally in the ETH market began on November 6 after Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election was announced. Ethereum abruptly increased by 20% and reached $2880 on Thursday, the highest since early August. If Weidmann's prediction comes true, the upward trend will resume after the coin's price correction, which is currently observed.
