To a certain extent, Ethereum has resonated with Ripple’s price trend as after today’s pullback, ETH has lost a price position from above $190.

Today, ETH has again hit the price mark above $192.25 with a spike followed by a rapid pullback to $188. Right now, the coin is uplifting from there and is trading at $189.30 at 04:31:29 UTC.
