Users keep depositing their Ethereum coins to the ETH 2.0 contract to become validators as soon as the ETH 2.0 upgrade is implemented and the second biggest blockchain network switches to the Proof-of-Stake protocol, ditching the Proof-of-Work one.

At the time of writing, ETH is trading at $1,749, as per the data provided by CoinMarketCap. The second largest crypto dived below the $2,000 support on June 21 and that mark has now turned into resistance.

ETH has been testing it a few times since then but has been unable to fix above it.

Today’s $1,749 is close to the price range ETH traded in March this year before rallying to the $4,362 all-time high on May 12.
