Over the past day, Ethereum (ETH) has managed to outperform the general cryptocurrency market, marking a rare occurrence that led to a 12-day high, signaling potential signs of recovery.
According to analytics firm Santiment, Ethereum displayed “mild signs” of a rebound, moving ahead of most altcoins as the week began.
Santiment highlighted that a significant portion of Ethereum’s supply continues to be moved off exchanges, with only 6.38% remaining on platforms. This behavior indicates long-term holding by investors, reducing the likelihood of a sudden sell-off.
The analysts observed that Ethereum has gained renewed attention from the crypto community in February, following a period of underperformance compared to other major cryptocurrencies.
While some, like crypto YouTuber Lark Davis, remain skeptical, the recent price movement has improved the ETH/BTC ratio slightly.
This metric, which compares Ethereum’s value to Bitcoin, has been at multi-year lows but saw a 7% increase on February 17, although it remains close to its weakest levels since December 2020.
