ETH faces $4,100 annual high barrier amid US trader interest

After rising over a major falling trendline, ETH may challenge its annual high of $4,093.
Friday, Ethereum (ETH) is around $3,600 and might surge to $4,093, its annual high. ETH Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) open interest and Main chain USDT supply drive the surge.
Ethereum USDT supply rose 27% in November as ETH CME hits milestone.
For the first time, the ETH CME OI topped $2.8 billion last week, signaling considerable interest from US traders in the leading cryptocurrency.
