Bitcoin Stalls at $97,000 as Trump’s Insurrection Act Threat Fails to Spark Rally

Ethereum is back to trading just above $3,300 per ETH in a slow bullish 
extension over the past week. After months of wide swings and failed follow- 
throughs above $3,000, the structure on the monthly timeframe chart is 
beginning to look bullish in a way that traders should take seriously. A 
recent technical breakdown shared by Merlijn The Trader on X shows that 
Ethereum is approaching a moment where consolidation could give way to 
forceful expansion, with $5,000 as the most important inflection point. 
Bullish Pennant Says Bullish Momentum About To Be Unlocked The chart showing 
the technical analysis from Merlijn shows a bullish pennant forming on 
Ethereum’s monthly timeframe. This bullish pennant shows that price action has 
been compressing between a rising support line and a descending resistance 
line, and this has created a narrowing structure since 2021. Related Reading:

Ethereum briefly pushed above the upper boundary of this pennant in 2025, 
rallying to just under the $5,000 mark before momentum faded and corrective 
moves followed. Since then, price action appears to be gravitating back toward 
the former resistance line, now acting as a key area of interest. As it 
stands, Ethereum is now retesting the upper trendline of this bullish pennant 
for a final upward move. Based on this projection, the first major barrier for 
Ethereum to break is around $3,300. A clean break above that level would 
likely open a path toward $3,600, an area that previously acted as a turning 
point during past rallies. The most consequential zone, however, is around the 
August 2025 all-time high of $5,000. A break above this zone would unlock 
bullish momentum based on the bullish pennant and play out in the majority of 
2026. How Can This Breakout Play Out? Merlijn’s chart doesn’t stop at the 
breakout trigger once it breaks above the upper trendline of the pennant. It 
sketches a full road map for how the move could unfold once Ethereum leaves 
the pennant. The first step in that projection is a push above $3,600 before a 
more meaningful test around $5,000. Once Ethereum is able to break above 
$5,000, then the door is open for new price highs. Related Reading: Why The 
Ethereum Price Could Bounce Above $3,500 Soon However, the breakout is 
expected to come with volatility and retests, not a straight line upward, but 
still resolves higher if the pennant thesis holds. From $5,000, the projection 
turns into a two-stage expansion. The first stage shows a force move, where 
Ethereum goes on a rally to as high as $6,000, then chops through another 
sharp dip to $4,000 and another recovery sequence before the larger leg 
higher. The larger leg, higher projected on the chart, points to $8,400 as the 
final price target zone for Ethereum. Featured image from Getty Images, chart
