Ethereum keeps its place in the ranking, now 2 days running. 3 national lists carry the coin today, among them India, Indonesia and Japan. Twenty-four hour change stands at +0.6%, with +0.1% over the week. Turnover sits at 4% — $11.83B traded against $297.62B of market value. The daily signal reads buy, with 70 out of 100 bullish conditions met. Hype risk is low at 10/100; days on the trending list contributes the most. Binance's hot list is the only source behind this entry.

From September 17, the day it entered the ranking, the change is -0.5%. Stretching the window to a month gives +28.0%. Size-wise the coin is number 2, one of the twenty largest coins by market value. The price is +9.5% above its 50-day average. Trend direction has been upward for 68 consecutive days. In the 90-day range the current price sits -3.1% from the highest close and +56.1% from the lowest. The remaining 23 markets we cover — Brazil and Bulgaria among them — do not have it trending.

This is the quiet version of a trending coin — visible, but without the risk markers that usually come with it.

Questions about Ethereum

Answered from today's data, regenerated every day

Why is Ethereum trending today?

Ethereum appears on 3 national trending lists (India, Indonesia and Japan) and scores 16 out of 100 on the combined trend score, which puts it at rank 21 worldwide today. The score is built from its position in the CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap trending feeds, how many countries list it and whether Binance marks it as hot. It measures attention only — nothing in it reflects the price direction.

Is Ethereum a buy right now?

This site does not give recommendations. What the data shows: the daily technical model scores 70 out of 100 on 10 checks, which reads as buy, while the hype-risk score is 10/100 (low). Those two numbers answer different questions, and a high trending rank is not part of either.

How risky is Ethereum compared with other trending coins?

Its hype-risk score is 10 out of 100, a low reading. The largest contributors are days on the trending list (2 consecutive days) and 7-day price change. The score is six measures added together and it is recalculated every day, so it moves as the coin ages on the list.

What is the ETH price and how much has it moved?

Ethereum trades at $2,440 at the last daily close, +0.6% over 24 hours and +0.1% over seven days, +28.0% over thirty. Prices on this site come from the daily close at 00:00 UTC and are not live quotes.

How long has Ethereum been trending?

It has been on the list for 2 consecutive days, with a best position of 2. Persistence is part of the picture: the longer a coin stays, the less of the risk score comes from novelty.
