Is it a sign of positive market recovery?
Not yet, it was down for today.
Many people predicted that that market will pick up after recent down fall.
I'm also one of those people that believe that it will come that way.
One thing is becoming clear that ETH is rising no matter bitcoin price rises or not.
Wrong. Eth is still depending to bitcoin so if bitcoin rise, eth will do but if bitcoin falls, eth will do the same either.
