Why is Ethereum Price Rising Today?
Ethereum price performance relative to its peers shows strength. While altcoins gave gains back to the market due to Bitcoin’s sudden downtrend, Ethereum price climbs higher. This strength shows a paradigm shift that hints at an end of Ether’s lackluster performance. If BTC consolidates or climbs higher, the ETH price could extend its gains. But a drop in BTC toward $90k could delay this uptrend. could drop lower or climb higher.

How ETH Gas Affects Ethereum Price
The blockchain upgrades Ethereum receives aim to solve the trilemma of blockchain, i.e., balancing decentralization, security, and scalability. The switch to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) enhanced these aspects. Ethereum’s transaction fees (gas fees) plummeted post-upgrade, drawing more investors. Gas fees are like taxes, measured in Gwei, required for secure transactions.
As of November 30, the gas fee for a transaction on the ETH network as of 1 PM is 14 Gwei.
When Ethereum’s on-chain value grows, presenting opportunities, investors flock, driving gas fees up. This typically occurs during market upswings, peaking at all-time highs.

Ethereum Price Analysis: ETH Rallies As Sell Signals Emerge
Ethereum price flashes a sell signal on the daily chart due to the non-conformity between the price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). When the price produces higher highs and RSI sets up lower highs, it denotes that momentum is lacking. Such moves are often undone as reality hits. ETH is in such a situation where the hype has not died down. Most investors assume that this is a show of strength after months of lackluster performance.
While it may be true, the on-chain metric reveals that it might not be the case.
Santiment’s 30-day Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) indicator hints that unrealized profits are climbing and could pose a threat. This index tracks the average profit/loss of investors who purchased ETH in the past month. A high positive value shows that many investors are sitting on unrealized profits, which is a sell signal. These investors cover their gains by selling, triggering a correction.
For Ethereum price, the 30-day MVRV hitting 13% to 22% is that danger zone, where price has often reversed in the past year repeatedly. Now that this indicator is inside this zone, it likely adds to the bearish divergence sell signal and hints that it could resolve, leading to a correction.
All in all, investors can expect ETH to correct in November or early December. For the rest of the year, aka in December, ETH will most likely kickstart an uptrend to $4,000 and be a top contender to most altcoins and eye a retest of $5,000.
If it is strength that ETH is displaying, then there shouldn’t be a correction and should see Ethereum price climb higher. A retest of $4,000 psychological level should be next and would invalidate this short-term bearish thesis.
