Ethereum Traders Say Eth Price Setting Up “Biggest Move of the Cycle” to $16K

Key takeaways:

  • Ether runs into resistance at $4,000, but strong technicals and rising institutional demand could drive ETH into price discovery.

  • Ether’s ascending triangle pattern targets an ETH price of as high as $16,700.

Ether (ETH) trades 23% below its $5,000 all-time high reached in November 2021, as the $4,000 level remains the key resistance to break.

Multiple analysts believe the largest altcoin is ready for a breakout that will usher in “its biggest move of the cycle.”

Ether technicals target a five-digit ETH price

ETH price has already risen by over 300% since establishing a cycle low of around $880 in June 2022. In doing so, its price has painted several chart patterns in the monthly time frame, suggesting an impending upside breakout.

Popular crypto investor Ivan On Tech shared a chart showing Ether seeking a breakout from a symmetrical triangle, signaling a massive upward move once it is confirmed.

The measured target of the triangle was $7,709, or a 105% price increase from the current levels.

“Ethereum coiling up for its biggest move of the cycle,” analyst Bitcoinsensus said about Ether’s symmetrical triangle pattern on the monthly chart, adding:

“Ethereum is set for a macro breakout. It will spark off a huge altseason if it happens,” the analyst said in a Wednesday post on X, adding:

 “A very critical moment for Ethereum.”

The pattern will resolve once the price breaks above the triangle’s resistance line at $4,000. If this happens, the price could rise by as much as the maximum distance between the triangle’s trendlines.

That puts Ether’s breakout target for 2025–2026 at about $16,700, up by more than 350% from current price levels.

The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator has produced a “bullish cross” on the monthly chart.

Previous instances show that ETH tends to rise sharply when the MACD line (blue) crosses above the signal line (orange). The gains were 2,000% during the 2020-2021 cycle and 130% in Q4/2023.
