The Ethereum price has seen a recent recovery, adding nearly 9% and reaching a local high of $2,692 over the past day. This price increase follows a plunge of 5.32% in a single red candle on the hourly chart, which took Ethereum from $2,591 to $2,455. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,650.
