After a rough start to 2025—where even Ethereum (ETH) slumped by 45% in Q1—the crypto market is finally showing signs of life. ETH has bounced back by over 32% from its April 7th low, and this bullish energy is spilling over into major tokens as well.
However, today ETH is trading slightly in the red, adding some downside pressure across the altcoin and memecoin markets. Despite this, a promising fractal pattern might just clear the fog about Ethereum’s potential next move.

ETH Mirrors BTC’s Breakout Pattern
As shown in the comparison chart above, Bitcoin (BTC) recently completed the CD leg of a bullish harmonic cypher and surged over 14% after breaking above its 50-day moving average (marked with a circle). It’s now climbing toward its prior X point near $99,000.
Now, look to the right side of the chart—Ethereum (ETH) is following nearly the same path. It just broke above its 50-day MA and is trading around $1824, almost exactly where BTC was before its breakout began. The fractal resemblance is hard to ignore.
If ETH continues to mirror this BTC pattern, it could be on the verge of a sharp rally. The next key level is 100 Day MA and the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement at around $2555—a possible 40% upside from current levels. If bulls break through that, the next target would be the 1.0 Fibonacci level at $2865, offering a potential 56% gain.
What’s Ahead?
With ETH now above its 50-day MA and consistently printing higher lows, momentum is building. The similarities in the current setup with Bitcoin’s past movement suggest a breakout leg may be developing.
That said, nothing is guaranteed. Harmonic patterns are powerful, but they don’t always play out perfectly. A failure to hold 50 D MA and a daily close back below $1733 could be the first sign that this bullish structure is breaking down.
