Ethereum Gains on Bitcoin as Altcoin Outperformance Is Expected

  • ETH/BTC breaks above long-term wedge with 0.80% weekly gain.
  • Breakout seen above 50-week MA on weekly timeframe chart.
  • Traders focus on altcoin rotation if Ethereum trend holds.

Ethereum is gaining attention after breaking out from a downward trend against Bitcoin on the weekly chart. This move has sparked interest across the market, as traders look for early signs of a possible altcoin rotation.

ETH/BTC Pushes Above Downward Channel After Consolidation

Ethereum has broken out of a falling wedge pattern against Bitcoin, based on the weekly chart tracked by TradingView. The ETH/BTC pair is currently trading at 0.03414 BTC, posting a 0.80% weekly gain. This move came after several weeks of consolidation below the wedge’s resistance line.

The breakout has occurred above the 50-week moving average, which had been acting as dynamic resistance. This technical shift may indicate a change in momentum between the two largest cryptocurrencies. 

Traders Eye Altcoin Rotation as Ethereum Shows Strength

Market watchers are now focusing on the potential for broader altcoin outperformance. Historically, when Ethereum gains ground against Bitcoin, it often leads to increased interest across the altcoin space.

Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto described the ETH/BTC setup as “one of the most bullish charts” and hinted at a possible altcoin rally. 

Still, confirmation is required through price continuation in the coming weeks. Analysts say volume and structure will play key roles in confirming strength.

If Ethereum maintains this breakout, it could serve as a signal for other altcoins to begin upward movement.
