Ethereum price action
After Ether's price hit a new high of $4,867 on Nov. 10, interest in the Ethereum ecosystem has grown, but the rally was short-lived as overall market sentiment slipped into fear. Despite pushing for some recovery, ETH's price fell while reaching a low of $3,503.
The Ethereum price has shown continuous signs of recovery from the shock in the present week around the $4,000 mark, defending much of its uptrend by its support base. On Wednesday, the price of Ether was rejected at $4,074 and currently faces the $4,000 barrier.
At press time, Ethereum's price sits at $3,940, with $15,316,090,468 in 24-hour trading volume. In the previous 24 hours, it dropped 2.12%. With a live market cap of $467,242,699,326 as seen on CoinMarketCap, it currently ranks #2. The maximum supply is not known; however, it has a circulating supply of 118,857,239 ETH tokens.
