Despite the Gedempte Volatility, the forward rate of Ethereum-A measure for the expected future value is currently under the rate of the US 5% Treasury Bill, which indicates a weak trust in the short term.

“When the forward rates are so low, we often see the competitive price increases in the following weeks as the lifting tree positions become more attractive and the question builds,” he said.

The circulating range of Ethereum on centralized exchanges has fallen to a lowest point of nine years, which could strengthen every price reaction if demand rises.
