Природниот токен на Ethereum Етер (ЕТХ) has dropped about 17% against the U.S. dollar in the last two weeks. But its performance against Bitcoin (БТК) has been less painful with the ETH/BTC pair down 4.5% over the same period.
The pair’s down-move appears as both ETH/USD and BTC/USD drop nearly in lockstep while reacting to the Federal Reserve’s potential to hike rates by 50 basis points and slash its balance sheet by $95 billion per month.
The latest numbers released on April 12 Покажи that consumer prices rose 8.5% in March, the most since 1981.
ETH/BTC triangle breakout
Several technicals remain bullish despite ETH/BTC dropping in the last two weeks. Based on a classic continuation pattern, the pair still looks poised to resume its strong bull run in 2022.
Notably, ETH/BTC has corrected from a horizontal resistance level that constitutes an ascending triangle range in conjunction with rising trendline support.
As a rule, ascending triangles send the price in the direction of their previous trends. Therefore, since ETH/BTC was митинг before forming one, there’s a decent chance its bull run could continue toward its Feb. 2018 highs near 0.1 BTC, based on the setup shown in the chart below.
Nonetheless, the interim market setup looks skewed to the downside, with ETH/BTC eyeing a correction towards the triangle’s lower trendline following its pullback from the upper trendline.
The bearish reversal scenario
Ascending triangle breakouts достигне their upside targets nearly 73% of all time, a study by Samurai Trading Academy shows.

Nonetheless, this still leaves ETH/BTC with a 30% chance to invalidate its ascending triangle setup.
As it happens, the pair will break below its triangle’s lower trendline, which also coincides with its 50-week exponential moving average (the red wave in the chart above) near 0.06 BTC, opening the door for a further drop to 0.05 BTC, a support area from May-June 2021.
