Ethereum just won $ 1,000
While Ethereum faces initial resistance at $ 1,000, the cryptocurrency may have clear skies above this key level.
A crypto asset trader recently shared the following tweet. He claims that there is little selling pressure above $ 1,000 for Ethereum based on order book data.
If this data is correct, it means that a sharp move above $ 1,000 is likely to trigger a big leg higher.

Some resistance is expected for Ethereum in the $ 1,200-1,300 region, which is just below the all-time high for the price of ETH of $ 1,450.
