The blockchain also saw its active ETH address hit a new all-time high of 771,000. Previously held in November 2020 at 739,000.

ETH gas fees had dropped to weekly lows, with fast transactions costing just 54 gwei. While weekends generally see lower gas fees as traders take time away from trading, this is the lowest prices seen in weeks on the ETH blockchain.

The low fees appear to have lifted the price of ETH as it pushed back up on Sunday. ETH managed to climb 4.4% on Sunday as it reclaimed $2,300.
Also noticeable was ETH’s dominance, which had also climbed over 3% on Sunday. ETH’s dominance has slowly been gaining as the BTC dominance continues to decline. Previously this has been a bullish sign for altcoin season.

The ETH network is currently in the process of upgrading. The upgrades are set to mitigate the high gas fees that have been experienced in recent months. The ETH Berlin Upgrade has already been completed. With the London upgrade set to occur in July 2021.
ETH continues to look strong, even after the drop experiences last week by BTC. ETH was one of the few projects who did not see a dramatic price drop as BTC fell 15% over the last week.
