This post examines ETH/USD price and volume movement from Jan-01 to Feb-25.
2021 began with a rapid, low-volume drive from 750 USD up to 1250 USD, followed by a large volume of selling around 1250 USD in the second week of January.
Throughout the remainder of January, ETH/USD oscillated to consolidate around 1300 USD. From January 20 until February 1, there were medium-volume movements bouncing within a fairly narrow price channel less than 200 USD wide.
February started with a rapid jump to 1500 USD, which was confirmed by a substantial volume entering the market even after reaching 1500 USD.
The second week of February saw even more large-volume movement, which pushed ETH/USD up to 1750 USD.
After some lower-volume disagreement, ETH/USD topped out around 2000 USD before a low-volume crash back to 1650 USD.
In the final week of February, we see very high volume around 1650 USD, suggesting lots of ETH is changing hands at this price.
