Ethereum managed to climb by 8% today as it pushed from $1375, breaking $1400 to reach $1456 as the current daily high. The cryptocurrency is now trading around the previous Jan-2018 ATH price, which was $1440, according to Bitstamp.

Even though ETH saw a higher price earlier in January, reaching as high as $1480, the coin couldn’t hold above and failed to close a daily candle above the previous ATH price area. Following the $1480 rejection, ETH plunged back into the $1200 support as of last week.

If ETH finally overcomes the $1440 previous ATH area, we can expect a huge move into the price discovery area. Where ETH/USD never traded before and not a lot of resistance is expected, just as Bitcoin did with the $20K previous ATH level.
