ETH: Breakout vs BTC Ends Worst Period

ETH has put its worst stretch behind it as the pair versus BTC breaks higher and prints a higher low, restoring the uptrend. Three consecutive red quarters have never been followed by a fourth in Ethereum history, and the 4-year cycle participants who stepped aside now face the prospect of re-entering at elevated prices.

The Clarity Act approval is set to channel fresh liquidity into the Ethereum ecosystem, reinforcing the most hated trade on the board. With price testing upper Bollinger resistance at $1817.22 while RSI(14) at 72.47 flashes overbought and the MACD golden cross at 41.95 remains intact, a measured retracement toward the EMA50 support at $1662.47 looks probable before the next leg higher. ETH price prediction models and Ethereum ecosystem liquidity forecasts both point to continued strength once that pullback completes.
