Following the market’s recent performance, Ethereum (ETH) attempted to break out of a bullish formation. Some analysts believe the cryptocurrency is preparing to catch up with Bitcoin and aim for March highs.
This week, Ethereum has successfully reclaimed the $2,500 support zone following the market’s recent performance. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has seen an 8.6% increase in the last seven days, moving from the $2,300-$2,400 range to the $2,600 mark.
In the last 24 hours, ETH has retested the $2,600 resistance level, currently holding it as support as it attempts to reclaim the $2,700 price range. This zone is the next crucial level, as the cryptocurrency hasn’t successfully broken above it in nearly three months.
Market analyst CryptoWolf pointed out that Ethereum has been from the local top around this level twice since August’s market crash, making it the next big resistance to break.
However, once the zone is cleared, ETH’s price is “heading straight to the 3500s” since the analyst considers that the $3,000 mark “won’t stand a chance.” Similarly, crypto analyst Alex Clay that the King of Altcoins is about to “catch up on BTC” and rise toward $3,500.
To the analyst, Ethereum completed its local accumulation within the $2,100-$2,700 range, and “it’s ready to switch the short-term trend for the bullish.” Other market watchers also suggested that the market is near the bottom after the sideway moves, based on the ETH/BTC chart.
Tony Research that the chart “suggests that altcoins are currently cheap relative to Bitcoin. An increase in this chart will positively affect altcoins and their prices.” As the investor pointed out, altcoins could see significant growth during Q1 2025 since Q4s have historically been Bitcoin’s best time to grow.
ETH Attempts Breakout From Bullish Pattern
Analyst Crypto Yapper that Ethereum is trying to break from its consolidating formation. The cryptocurrency has been within a three-month symmetrical triangle pattern, and it attempted to break above the upper trendline on Tuesday.
Yesterday, ETH rose momentarily above the trendline after hitting $2,688 but quickly retraced to $2,550. Ethereum tried another breakout from the symmetrical triangle upper trendline on Wednesday, surging above $2,630 before settling around the $2,600 support zone.
To the analyst, Ethereum will target the $2,900 mark next if it breaks out of this formation. Recovering this level could propel ETH’s price to its March highs, as the $2,900-$3,000 price range was a key support zone during the rally’s first leg.
Meanwhile, season trader Peter Brandt recently highlighted an inverted Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern on ETH’s chart. The trader signaled that an H&S bottom is forming, also suggesting a massive breakout might be imminent.
As of this writing, ETH is trading at $2,612, a 1% increase in the daily timeframe.

From a young age, Rubmar was curious about how languages work, finding special interest in wordplay and the peculiarities of dialects. Her curiosity grew as she became an avid reader in her teenage years. She explored freedom and new words through her favorite books, which shaped her view of the world. Rubmar acquired the necessary skills for in-depth research and analytical thinking at university, where she studied Literature and Linguistics. Her studies have given her a sharp perspective on several topics and allowed her to turn every stone in her investigations.
In 2019, she first dipped her toes in the crypto industry when a friend introduced her to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but it wasn’t until 2020 that she started to dive into the depth of the industry. As Rubmar began to understand the mechanics of the crypto sphere, she saw a new world yet to be explored.
At the beginning of her crypto voyage, she discovered a new system that allowed her to have control over her finances. As a young adult of the 21st century, Rubmar has faced the challenges of the traditional banking system and the restrictions of fiat money.
After the failure of her home country’s economy, the limitations of traditional finances became clear. The bureaucratic, outdated structure made her feel hopeless and powerless amid an aggressive and distorted system created by hyperinflation. However, learning about decentralization and self-custody opened a realm of opportunities. Cryptocurrencies allowed her to experience financial control for the first time and expand her financial education.
Moreover, the peculiar nature of the crypto community sparked Rubmar’s curiosity about the other layers of the industry. As a result, she found a particular interest in discovering the diverse perspectives of investors, market watchers, experts, and developers. Her attempts to better understand the crypto space made her realize the strong links of the community with other industries, enriching her perspective of the sector. As someone who spends most of her day online, Rubmar enjoys finding the points where the crypto world meets with her other passions and hobbies –or her favorite memes.
In her free time, she usually finds joy in different art forms. As a child, she enlisted in every extra-curricular activity in her hometown, including music classes, dancing, jewelry making, and the local chorus. Despite her many attempts to learn different instruments, Rubmar only knows how to play the xylophone, which she played for 7 years in her school’s marching band.
She also has a passion for learning new languages and cultures, having set the goal to learn another six languages – currently attempting to learn Italian and Korean. Scrapbooking, paper crafting, and bookbinding are her biggest interests outside of work, constantly taking classes and attending workshops to learn new techniques. The rest of her free time is spent stressing over football matches and transfer market news or feeding cats –hers or stray.
In summary, Rubmar seeks to present entertaining and educational pieces to be enjoyed by everybody, aiming to report on the latest news and offer a unique perspective while adding a meme or a pun whenever possible.
