Ethereum went higher on Saturday despite Bitcoin flatlining. The cryptocurrency is up 7.5% in the past 24 hours and is soaring more than $ 1,300 for the first time since January 2018.

The cryptocurrency remains below its all-time high of $ 1,450, despite the recent push higher and the recent Bitcoin rally to $ 42,000. ETH is the best performing crypto asset in the top 10 by market cap, except Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

KSI name drops Ethereum

The popular Youtuber “KSI”, also known as Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” Olatunji, recently tweeted “Ethereum” on Twitter. The influencer’s tweet can be seen below.

The tweet went cryptoviral and garnered tens of thousands of likes and thousands of comments.

Many in the cryptocurrency space responded to KSI’s tweet, telling him about Ethereum, and joking that it would be the future of the financial world.

This appears to be the first time the Youtuber has mentioned Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies. A Google search for “KSI Youtuber Bitcoin” will return nothing relevant to the Youtuber or its interactions with cryptocurrency.

Ethereum.

– KSI (@KSI) January 9, 2021

Note that it is unclear if the celebrity actually owns ETH or just commented on it to take advantage of the ongoing attention being paid to the cryptocurrency.

KSI is the latest celebrity to delve into Bitcoin, Ethereum and cryptocurrency amid the recent price hike.

Earlier, rapper Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, also known as “Logic”, put a significant portion of his net worth in Bitcoin late last year. Assuming he hasn’t sold (which he hasn’t announced), he should be more than 150% higher than his investment in the leading cryptocurrency.

Little resistance before ETH, data per order book

Data suggests that Ethereum may be poised to soar even higher in the coming weeks and months, which could validate KSI’s tweet about the cryptocurrency.

A crypto asset trader recently shared the chart below, which shows that there is little overhead resistance for Ethereum after USD 1,400. This means that, as with Bitcoin, once the previous all-time high ever breaks, there can be little resistance as the cryptocurrency enters a phase of a market known as price discovery.

However, the trader says Ethereum could face some resistance in the USD 1,350 range, which is only a few percent above the current price.

Okay, let me throw a serious tweet into the mix.

I feel like the books are just not at all suitable for this type of FOMO. There’s a little bit of resistance at 1350. A little bit more at 1400, and then … Nothing.$ ETH pic.twitter.com/EUN1HCRTPj
