At present circumstances, solely short-term holders are promoting.
Nevertheless, accumulating addresses are absorbing the promoting strain from STH.
Subsequently, Ethereum is anticipated to proceed its consolidation part till recent demand emerges to drive a breakout above the $1.5k resistance vary within the mid-term.
A breakout from the consolidation will strengthen the altcoin to leap in direction of $1.8k.
