- ETH/USD recovered strongly ahead of Constantinople.
- Critical resistance lies with $140.00.
ETH/USD is changing hands at $137.70 off the high intraday set at $139.95. The second largest digital coin with a market value of $14.3B has gained over 11% since this time on Sunday and became the growth leader of the day.
Moreover, an average daily trading volume catapulted to over $5B from a little over $3B on Saturday. The coin is most actively traded at Bitfinex and Ethfinex with volatility close to a monthly peak.
Upcoming Constantinople updated is among the reasons that might have triggered strong ETH growth. As we reported earlier, Vitalik Buterin and lead ETH developers rejected the severity of the bug revealed in the recent version of the protocol. The update is scheduled on February 27.
