ETH - Bottoming against BTC and USDT ?
2024-09-22

**Crypto (ETH/BTC and ETH) review**  

 *General outlook* 
Bitcoin is now facing resistance at a crucial pivot point to create the first higher high in months, BTC needs to break through the downward trendline (red) and the pivot high at $65,000. This breakthrough could push Bitcoin towards the highs of $69,000–$72,000 and bring an influx of capital to the broader cryptocurrency market.

Recently, ETH has garnered less attention as other Layer 1 and Layer 2 crypto projects have taken center stage. While ETH/BTC had initially broken down at levels not seen since april 2021, it's now reclaiming its range lows. Meanwhile, ETH/USDT has maintained its range, suggesting ETH might see gains in the coming weeks, provided Bitcoin doesn't break down.


 *ETH/BTC*  - On a macro scale, the ETH/BTC ratio appears to be moving in a large triangular consolidation pattern. The upward trendline, which will provide support, sits just below the 0.786 Fibonacci level of the entire last wave at 0.0369 ETH/BTC. With levels not seen since april 2021, it is possible that the narrative might shift in favour of ETH.
  

Zooming in, we can see a Hammer candle on high volume that created the low of the range—a potentially bullish signal. While we had broken down and confirmed from the range, ETH/BTC has since reclaimed it, though not yet confirmed. To confirm re-entry into the range, ETH/BTC needs to close with a daily candle above 0.0407 ETH/BTC. This could signal a quick push towards the range high, which coincides with the downward trendline that will serve as resistance at 0.4613 ETH/BTC.
  


 *ETH/USDT*  - ETH has held the low of the range that lies at the 1.618 extension of the previous big M-pattern and coincides with a pivot point now serving as support (see pic 2). The price has pushed through the 50D Moving Average and upward trendline (green) that served as resistance, indicating bullish strength returning to ETH. To confirm the push higher towards $3,000+, ETH needs to break $2,820. 
  
  

We're still early =)
