Ethereum’s native token, Ether (ETH), looks ready to grow stronger compared to the U.S. dollar and Bitcoin (BTC) in the days leading up to its proof-of-stake transition in September.
ETH price chart bullish setup
The bullish outlook emerges from classic technical indicators on ETH/USD and ETH/BTC charts. For instance, ETH/USD has been forming a “falling wedge” pattern with a profit target sitting around 30% above the current prices.
Meanwhile, the ETH/BTC chart is painting a potential “bull flag” that could increase the price by approximately 10% from current price levels upon resolution.
Here’s how these bullish setups could play out.

Falling wedges form when the price trends lower inside a descending, contracting channel.
They typically resolve after the price breaks above their upper trendlines. Their breakout target is as high as the maximum distance between their upper and lower trendlines when measured from the breakout point
ETH’s price has been decreasing since mid-August in a falling wedge pattern. It recently rebounded after testing the structure’s lower trendline to hit the upper trendline and now eyes a breakout toward or above $2,000, as shown below.
The wedge’s profit target coincides with Ethereum’s 200-day exponential moving average (200-day EMA; the blue wave) at $2,055.
Moreover, the target appears to be a junction as ETH eyes an extended bull run toward $2,500. This level is the upside target of a broader ascending channel (the purple range) that has been forming since June.
In other words, ETH’s price could grow anywhere by 30%-55% in September.
