On-chain activity suggests Ethereum () and two altcoins could be primed for short-term price rallies, according to the crypto analytics firm Santiment.

ETH is trading at $1,648 at time of writing. The second-ranked crypto asset is up nearly 2% in the past 24 hours.
SHIB, a Dogecoin () rival, is trading at $0.000007 at time of writing. The 19th-ranked asset by market cap is up 0.67% in the past 24 hours.
Sushiswap is a multi-chain decentralized exchange (DEX). The project’s native asset, SUSHI, is trading around $0.578 at time of writing and is up more than 3% in the past 24 hours.
Santiment also that traders are bullish on Ethereum rival Avalanche () due to the buzz around the recently launched Friend.tech challenger Stars Arena, a decentralized social finance application (SocialFi) on the AVAX blockchain. The analytics firm notes the Stars Arena launch led to an “injection” of new AVAX address activity.
