Ether cleared $2,700 this week, part of a broader crypto rally that has pushed the token up 10.4% over the trailing week and back to price levels last seen in January, moving in close step with bitcoin's own climb past $86,000 over the same period. The two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization posted almost identical weekly percentage gains, a pattern that typically points to a shared macro or market-structure driver rather than a catalyst specific to either network.
