Ether Hits $3,900 as Market Turns Bullish
The cryptocurrency market was bearish last week, with Bitcoin dropping to the $115k level. However, the market conditions have turned over the weekend, and Bitcoin is now trading close to $120k.
Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is up nearly 4% in the last 24 hours, making it the second-best performer in the top 10 behind BNB. The rally allowed Ether to cross the $3,900 mark once again and is now heading towards the $4k psychological level.
This latest development comes as Joseph Lubin-backed SharpLink Gaming has purchased an additional $295 million worth of Ethereum, as it continues its Ethereum accumulation strategy. The Nasdaq-listed firm currently holds about 438,017 ETH, worth $1.7 billion at current market prices.

While Bitcoin has hit a new all-time high in this cycle, Ether hasn’t. Ether is currently 20% away from the all-time high price of $4,891 it achieved in November 2021. If the current market conditions persist, Ether could rally to a new all-time high in the coming weeks or months.
