Ethereum (ETH) Breaking Out of Key Bullish Pattern – Can It Liftoff Altcoins?

Date: Thu, May 29, 2025 | 05:30 AM GMT

Ethereum (ETH) is showing renewed strength, hinting at more upside after a solid recovery this quarter. The broader crypto market has rebounded sharply from its Q1 downturn, during which ETH had plunged over 45%.

Since then, Ethereum has bounced back with 49% gains in Q2 — and now, it’s flashing a powerful technical signal that could spark a broader rally and potentially extend its 51% monthly surge.

Breaking Out of an Ascending Triangle

On the 4-hour chart, ETH has broken out of a classic ascending triangle — a bullish continuation pattern that typically forms during uptrends. This setup is characterized by a series of higher lows pressing against a horizontal resistance, building pressure for a potential breakout.

In Ethereum’s case, price action over the past few weeks has been respecting the ascending support trendline, with buyers consistently stepping in at higher levels. Earlier today, ETH surged from around $2,510 to reclaim the upper resistance zone between $2,713 and $2,737, where it is now attempting a confirmed breakout.

Momentum Building – What’s Next?

If Ethereum can hold this breakout level and confirm it with a successful retest, the next technical target sits near $3,125 — about 15% higher from its current price of $2,723. This move would not only mark a major continuation of ETH’s uptrend but could also act as a catalyst for altcoins rally.

However, a failed breakout or rejection at this resistance zone could result in a pullback toward the ascending trendline, potentially dragging altcoins down with it in the short term.
