This extremely strong performance comes minutes after prominent crypto analysts called for a strong breakout as the asset neared $250.
$250 has been a pivotal resistance for Ethereum over the past few years, acting as a range high on multiple occasions. The fact that the asset surged past it with such strength is convincing bulls that a big bull run is imminent.
One trader shared the chart below in the wake of the move, writing that he still thinks the asset will trend higher towards 2019’s $350 highs.
