At the time of writing, the ETH price is dangling at one hundred and ninety dollars ($190.79) mark and holding. The price movement is likely to push upwards as soon as it finds support higher than the current support levels. While certain factors indicate the pattern is following-up to Bitocin, three major Ethereum price metrics are most important.
Ethereum price factors: active addresses
Holders remain strong. IntoTheBlock has stated that there is an increase of 10% of the number of active Ethereum addresses in the past week, indicating raised market movement.
Ethereum price factors: Large daily transactions
Ethereum witnessed an increase of seventy-five Percent (75%) on large daily transactions. A clear positive metric, more and more value (up to a hundred thousand dollars), is transacted each day, displaying an increase of over seventy-five percent.
Ethereum price factors: Trading volume
In the last twenty-four hours, the total volume hit 1.12 million ETH. The rise of transactions worth more than a hundred and twelve thousand dollars in just twenty-four hours indicates the consolidation of funds and increased trading.

Here are some solid fundamentals:
-We saw an increase in the active addresses by 10%
-Daily Large TX (+$100k) increased from 311 to 543
-The volume of those large TX also rises to a high of 1.12m –#ETH in the last 24h.— IntoTheBlock (@intotheblock) October 10, 2019
These positive metrics highlight the increased activity of Ethereum, but they are neither indicative of their catalyst-nature for further movements nor the idea of adoption.
It is of interest to note that Ethereum’s hard fork, namely ‘Istanbul,’ is also scheduled for release later this month.
