This comes after the surge higher in Ethereum overnight, climbing to its highest levels since May as seen here.

From a technical perspective, it's an encouraging sign for Bitcoin buyers after holding off the lows near $30,000 since May. The latest push also seems to be gathering support near the 200-day moving average (green line) over the past two weeks and that limits downside risks as buyers try to establish a fresh upside leg.
