Furthermore, data from the intelligence platform Santiment depicted that the development activity metric could use some effort from the developer end. This was because, at press time, ETH’s development activity stood at 39.32, which was strikingly lower considering the trend over the last few days.

However, ETH’s volume witnessed a spike as of 30 June. A rise in the volume along with a price movement in the positive direction could indicate a sign that investor were accumulating the altcoin.

Additionally, ETH’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line (blue) stood above the signal line (red) above the zero line. This indicated a strong bullish movement for ETH. However, despite the bulls supporting ETH as of 30 June, traders should maintain caution.

This was because ETH’s Awesome Oscillator (AO) flashed red bars above the zero line. A slight dip in the buying pressure may drive changes to the position of the indicators and a price correction for ETH.
