Ethereum is showing impressive resilience as it continues to hold above 
critical levels despite ongoing market volatility. While Bitcoin struggles to 
break past its all-time highs, ETH remains stable, maintaining bullish 
structure and fueling hopes for a broader altcoin rally. Analysts across the 
market are eyeing a potential altseason, with Ethereum expected to lead the 
charge once it clears major supply zones. Related Reading: Ethereum Daily 
Chart Signals Strength Amid Market Uncertainty – Analyst However, the 
spotlight is shifting to a less discussed but highly significant chart—ETHBTC. 
According to top analyst Daan, the ETHBTC pair has been consolidating in a 
tight range between 0.022 and 0.026 since the last squeeze. This consolidation 
suggests a period of accumulation and reduced volatility, but it also acts as 
a crucial signal for altcoin momentum. If ETHBTC breaks above the 0.026 
resistance level, Daan suggests it could trigger a temporary but powerful 
rally in ALT/BTC pairs. Sectors closely tied to Ethereum—such as DeFi 
protocols, ETH-based memecoins, and Layer 2 ecosystems—could benefit most from 
such a move. Until then, investors are closely monitoring ETH’s performance 
relative to BTC, as it remains one of the most reliable indicators of capital 
rotation within the crypto market. ETHBTC Chart Becomes Key to Altseason 
Outlook Ethereum is currently trading at a pivotal range, with investors 
closely watching for a breakout that could lead to new highs and potentially 
ignite the long-anticipated altseason. Despite global tensions and continued 
macroeconomic uncertainty—particularly surrounding the aggressive and unstable 
Bond market—ETH has remained relatively strong. Bulls are optimistic, viewing 
the current consolidation as a healthy pause before the next leg up. One of 
the most important signals for altcoin momentum is not found on the USD chart, 
but in the ETHBTC pair. Daan points out that Ethereum’s price relative to 
Bitcoin has been consolidating between the 0.022 and 0.026 BTC range since the 
recent squeeze. This range now acts as a pressure point for the market. A 
breakout above 0.026 would likely catalyze a surge in altcoin strength, 
especially among Ethereum-related assets like DeFi protocols, ETH-based 
memecoins, and Layer 2 solutions. However, Daan warns that if ETHBTC drops 
below 0.0224, it could signal weakness for alts relative to BTC. It’s 
important to remember that ALT/BTC pairs can fall even if altcoin USD prices 
rise, particularly during aggressive BTC rallies. The same applies in reverse. 
For now, ETH’s position in this range remains one of the most telling signs of 
where the broader crypto market might head next. Related Reading: Ethereum 
Reclaims Pivotal Level – Key Resistance Around $2,650 Ethereum Faces 
Resistance As Bulls Attempt Breakout Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading 
around $2,640, showing signs of strength after holding its ground above the 
$2,500 mark. On the daily chart, ETH is forming a clear consolidation pattern 
just below a key resistance zone defined by the 200-day moving average 
(currently at $2,676). This level has repeatedly capped price action over the 
past few weeks, signaling strong supply pressure in this area. Despite the 
lack of a decisive breakout, Ethereum is maintaining a bullish structure with 
higher lows and consistent volume support. The 34-day EMA has turned upward 
and currently sits at $2,418, providing dynamic support and reinforcing the 
short-term uptrend. If ETH can reclaim the 200-day SMA and push above $2,700, 
a broader rally could follow, potentially opening the path toward $3,000 and 
beyond. Related Reading: Solana Reclaims Key Support After Sweeping Lows – 
Early Signs Of Reversal? On the downside, if price fails to break this 
resistance and sellers take control, immediate support lies near $2,500, 
followed by stronger demand around $2,350–$2,400 where the 50- and 100-day 
SMAs converge. For now, Ethereum remains in a balanced state, showing 
resilience, but still needs a strong catalyst to overcome the technical 
ceiling that continues to stall upward momentum. Featured image from Dall-E,
