In the first half of the week, most of the cryptocurrencies were facing downtrends. The values of the major cryptocurrencies had been traveling into the lower levels.

There were huge selloffs in the crypto market due to the crashes of the banking firms in the United States. These banks were known for being huge supporters of crypto firms.

Although the crypto market drifted away from the bullish territory, it has started to move in a negative direction. The situation is now in favor of the crypto industry and most of the crypto is surging in trading values.

Ethereum’s Performance

ETH has experienced a 4.5% surge not only in the past 24-hours but has continued to experience strong surges in longer periods.

Shanghai Upgrade is Highly Anticipated

While the trading price of ETH is moving higher, there is another factor that may help push its price higher, the Shanghai upgrade.

The announcement has continued creating a lot of anticipation around the token. There is now a great level of anticipation among the entire crypto industry and with its implementation, the token’s adoption may rise.

This would throw more rallies and buying sprees in favor of Ethereum, pushing its trading price significantly higher than the current level.
