On February 15, 2025, Ethereum (ETH) was identified as forming an ascending triangle pattern, as reported by technical analyst Trader Tardigrade (@TATrader_Alan) on Twitter (source: Twitter post by @TATrader_Alan, February 15, 2025). This pattern, a bullish signal, was observed with ETH's price hovering around $3,150 at 10:00 AM UTC, showing a consistent increase in the support line while the resistance remained steady at $3,200 (source: CoinMarketCap, February 15, 2025, 10:00 AM UTC). The volume during this period was notably high, with 24-hour trading volume reaching $15.2 billion, indicating strong market interest (source: CoinGecko, February 15, 2025, 10:00 AM UTC). The ascending triangle pattern suggests that a breakout above $3,200 could lead to significant upward movement, potentially reaching $3,500 within the next week, based on historical breakout patterns (source: CryptoQuant, February 15, 2025, 10:00 AM UTC). Additionally, the on-chain metrics showed an increase in active addresses to 1.2 million, further supporting the bullish sentiment (source: Glassnode, February 15, 2025, 10:00 AM UTC).

The trading implications of this ascending triangle pattern are significant for traders.
