April 14, 2026
Ethereum surged about 8.5% to roughly $2,370, outperforming Bitcoin and posting a roughly 12.4% weekly gain with a year-over-year rise near 46%.
Bitcoin remains in a defined range around $72,750, with support near $71,000 and resistance near $75,000, suggesting a potential retest of the lower bound and a possible move toward the higher bound if bullish momentum returns.
