Bitcoin has broken higher following a sequence where gold prices dipped, VIX volatility eased, Nasdaq ($NQ) hit all-time highs and stabilized, paving the way for BTC to lead the charge. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe notes that other crypto charts, especially ETH, signal imminent breakouts, with the broader market poised to follow in days—unless BTC consolidates, allowing altcoins to catch up. This aligns with recent patterns over the last six months, where BTC dominance preceded altcoin rallies, boosting overall crypto market cap amid rising institutional interest in assets like TAO and BTC.

Zooming into the 4-hour ETH chart, price action at $2402.94 hugs the upper Bollinger Band resistance near $2411.41, backed by a bullish MACD golden cross at 15.67 that screams continuation strength. Yet with RSI neutral at 65.22, we're not overbought yet—price finds firm footing above the EMA50 support at $2326.59 and the longer-term EMA200 at $2220.56, suggesting any pullback targets that $2326 level before bulls reload for a push through resistance, mirroring the crypto market breakout vibes and ETH price prediction trends.
