ETH has gained 16.7% in the past seven days and over 8% in the past 24 hours alone. This comes amid a heated rally in the broader cryptocurrency market where BTC’s price just reached a new all-time high above $118,000. Ironically, some warning signs are starting to pop already. According to popular on-chain monitoring resource Lookonchain, a wallet linked to the Ethereum Foundation has sold 1210 ETH for 3.5 million USDC at an average price of around $2890 over the past hours.
