Ethereum price rally intensifies toward $3,000; bulls touch $2,800 for the first in history

Ethereum has continually led the price action this week, especially in the top ten cryptocurrencies. The pioneer smart contract token hit support at $2,000 twice last week before bulls focused on gains toward $3,000. Support at $2,000 was particularly vital to the upswing, which saw Ethereum hit highs above $2,700 and later brushed shoulders at $2,800.
