ETH: First Real Upward Move vs BTC in Over a Year

ETH posted its first genuine advance against BTC in more than twelve months, lifting the pair after prolonged altcoin weakness that left many traders scarred.

Short-term consolidation remains likely before fresh capital rotates into altcoins once BTC completes its next leg higher.

Price action on the 4h chart shows ETH holding a bullish structure above the EMA50 at $1821.44 and EMA200 at $1765.31 while the MACD registers a golden cross at 32.14; with the pair pressing the upper Bollinger Band at $1972.77 and RSI at 59.24, a measured pullback toward the 50-EMA support at $1821.44 offers the next high-probability entry before continuation. This setup aligns with historical ETH price prediction models tied to Bitcoin dominance cycles impact on Ethereum price and broader altcoin rotation patterns.
