Ethereum has managed to get above the resistance level at $3,300 and is trying to develop additional upside momentum.

Bitcoin Dominance, which measures the market capitalization of Bitcoin as a percentage of total crypto market capitalization, is stuck near the multi-week lows at 44%, but the situation may change quickly if Bitcoin manages to settle above the $50,000 level and more speculative money flows into the the world’s main cryptocurrency.
