Ethereum Breaks $400 on News of ETH2.0 Phase 0 Launch in December

Earlier today, it was highlighted that the code for ETH2.0’s deposit contract for staking was posted in GitHub. Additionally, it was predicted that if the deposit contract were legitimate, the price of Ethereum would attempt to break the $400 price level soon after.

At the time of writing, Ethereum is currently trading at $405 with its bullish momentum also being aided by Bitcoin breaking the important $14k resistance level.

Therefore, and as December 1st draws closer, Ethereum could very well break another important resistance level at $420 and usher in a new path towards retesting $500.
