ETH Underperformance relative to BTCWhile CRYPTOCAP:BTC is back at its February highs, CRYPTOCAP:ETH is still battling to break above its early April peak.
IF CRYPTOCAP:BTC keeps pushing, CRYPTOCAP:ETH will most likely follow on it's USDT pair.
IF CRYPTOCAP:BTC rejects and goes lower, CRYPTOCAP:ETH will most likely go to the local lows or create new lows.

Ethereum (ETH): Possible Zone of Rejection | Waiting For MSDWe are waiting for further market structure development in order to get the confirmation on upcoming downward movement, which we are looking for currently.
After the fill of bullish CME, we had a nice rejection and first signs of weakness, which might turn into a bigger rejection from our golden zone.
As soon as we see a proper MSB form below that zone, we are going to look for downward movement from there!

Ethereum vs SolanaIn 2025, the competition between Ethereum and Solana is no longer just a rivalry — it’s a pivotal chapter in blockchain evolution.
We are witnessing a clash of two philosophies:
Ethereum — maturity, security, and deep ecosystem
vs.
Solana — speed, efficiency, and adaptability.
📈 Price Resilience vs. Market Legacy
While Ethereum still holds the crown in market cap and institutional trust, Solana is rewriting the rules with superior transaction speed and cost-effectiveness.
The question is no longer "Who is better?"
It’s "Who is evolving faster?"
⚡ Key Drivers Shaping the Ethereum-Solana Rivalry
1️⃣ Scalability vs. Stability
Solana leads with up to 65,000 TPS, attracting high-frequency traders, NFT creators, and DeFi innovators.
Ethereum, relying on its Layer-2 solutions, tries to balance security with scalability.
2️⃣ Institutional Shifts
Funds like Galaxy Digital and Ark Invest are reallocating capital towards Solana, betting on efficiency and growth.
Ethereum, meanwhile, is waiting on ETF approvals to regain momentum.
3️⃣ Technological Innovation
Ethereum focuses on sharding and Layer-2 expansion.
Solana pushes aggressive ecosystem growth but pays the price with occasional network instability.
📊 Market Performance Snapshot — 2025
Ethereum: ▼ 56% YTD | ~$1,600
Solana: ▼ 40% YTD | ~$135
Solana’s DEX market share jumped to 39.6% in Q1, driven by meme coins and retail traders.
Ethereum’s dominance continues to erode under macro pressures and rising competition.
But don’t be fooled — Ethereum's foundation remains strong. Institutional adoption and infrastructure upgrades still offer potential for a rebound.
📉 ETH/BTC Looks Like a Meme
ETH/BTC:
SOL/BTC: Potential -50% in next 160 weeks ➡️
ETH/SOL:
⚡ Where Did the Liquidity Go?
The real question isn’t why ETH is dropping —
It’s why no one cares.
Layer 2 solutions — Arbitrum, Optimism, Base — have drained liquidity from Ethereum’s mainnet.
DeFi activity? → Migrated to L2
Users? → Choosing lower fees and speed
Ethereum L1? → A blockchain for whales and archives
No liquidity = No rally
No narrative = No attention
Funds are betting on Solana and L2, not Ethereum’s base layer.
🎯 When Could ETH Take Off?
Only if we see:
A strong “Liquidity Returns to L1” narrative (RWA could be a trigger)
Spot ETH ETFs launching with institutional accumulation
A new DeFi wave on L1 (unlikely with current gas fees)
Or simply — when the market decides to pump forgotten assets
For now, Ethereum is about patience.
Smart money is flowing into L2, Solana, and high-risk narratives.
🕒 But Time Will Tell...
Today, we debate ETH vs. SOL.
Tomorrow — the bull market ends, and we’ll be discussing entirely different narratives.
Are you SOL or ETH?
As always, stay one step ahead.
Best regards,
EXCAVO

ETH SCENARIOS - LONG/SHORTThat's what I'm looking at in the near future.
Just some ideas :)
Crypto Introduction
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.
Will book 50% of short at 1:1RR (if given) to make it risk free.
Raw R:R is over 8 so there is room to play with.
$ETH | #4h & #12h structure overview The upper boundaries of both the 4h and 12h ranges have been swept — a textbook HTF trigger for shorts within a broader bearish range context.
🔻 Breakdown:
— Both ranges remain bearish
— Sweep of H4/H12 highs confirmed → signaling possible continuation down
— Below lies FVGs and equal lows, prime targets for liquidity grabs
🧠 There’s clear downside potential into liquidation zones. Watching for M15/LTF confirmations to engage — otherwise waiting on a pullback for a safer entry.
ETH/USDT ready to breakdown?? Inverted Cup & HandleETH/USDT
BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P
ETH is up 16.94% since our previous call. Currently, it has formed an inverted cup and handle pattern, which is a strong bearish setup.
If the price breaks below the white line (neckline), the pattern confirms and presents a short opportunity.
On confirmation, we expect a retest of the blue lines below, with a potential maximum target at the yellow line.
However, if the price breaks above the red line, the pattern becomes invalid.
Stay patient, avoid FOMO, and wait for clear confirmation/rejection before taking any position.
ETH - New ATH Approaching?Bitcoin has been full of surprises over the past few days, and this will most definitely affect Ethereum as well - which has not made a previous ATH when BTC did , a point we should not be forgetting.
This would also bring about the beginning of a new ALTSEASON.
But before we get too excited about all of the above - let's first see if Bitcoin can continue to CLOSE daily candles above the key support zone, as pointed out in the video.

Ethereum Uptrend Holds: Key Support Zones Before $1,800 BreakEthereum has shown solid strength after bouncing from recent lows, reclaiming higher ground and forming a clean intraday uptrend. With the $1,800 resistance now freshly tested, the market is entering a crucial decision zone. This post outlines the most actionable support levels and how price may react in the coming sessions.
📊 Technical Analysis:
Ethereum is currently maintaining a strong intraday uptrend, supported by a clean ascending trendline that began after a sharp bounce from the $1,550 region. The price recently tapped into $1,799 — a known resistance — and is now consolidating near $1,770.
We’ve identified three clear support zones based on structure and timeframes:
🔴 $1,703 – 1H Support (High Risk):
Early buyers may defend here, but it’s highly reactive and vulnerable to liquidity grabs.
🟠 $1,654 – 4H Daily Support (Medium Risk):
A more structurally sound area of demand. Offers a higher-probability bounce with cleaner market structure.
🟢 $1,590 – Last 1H Support (Low Risk):
The strongest recent base and the most attractive R:R long setup. If price revisits this zone, it’s likely where smart money reaccumulates.
As long as Ethereum holds above $1,703, this uptrend remains healthy. A break below both the trendline and the $1,654 support would shift the bias neutral-to-bearish short term.
✅ Conclusion:
Ethereum is trading inside a well-defined structure with supportive bullish momentum. If buyers step in at one of the mentioned support zones, we could see another push toward $1,799 and eventually $1,840+. Until a breakdown occurs below $1,654, the bias remains bullish on pullbacks.

ETH-----Sell around 1770, target 1700 areaTechnical analysis of ETH contract on April 24: Today, the large-cycle daily level closed with a small positive line yesterday, the K-line pattern continued to rise, the price was at a high level, and the attached indicator was running in a golden cross. The general trend of rising is relatively obvious, but there are two points we should pay attention to. First: After the current four-hour chart is under pressure, the K-line pattern is continuous and negative, the price is below the moving average, and the fast and slow lines of the attached indicator have signs of sticking and dead cross; Second: Yesterday's high did not continue, so a retracement and decline within the day is a high probability event; the short-cycle hourly chart did not continue to break upward after yesterday's price continued to fluctuate at a high level. Today, it began to retreat under pressure. The current price is below the moving average, and the attached indicator is running in a dead cross, so let's take a look at the strength of the decline within the day.
Today's ETH short-term contract trading strategy: Sell directly at the current price of 1770 area, stop loss in the 1800 area, and target the 1700 area;
Ethereum (ETH): Golden Zone for Short | Sellers Took OverWe reached our golden zone on Ethereum and had a nice rejection from here, as we had been waiting for.
Now we are aiming to see the price test the $1,666 zone as a first target and from there we will see if we break this zone; then lower support zones are our targets but if we see an MSB form there, then we will be looking for an upward retest of the golden zone.

Ethereum (ETH): Reached "Golden Zone" | Zone of Rejection?Ethereum has done a decent pump since bottoming, where now the price has reached our golden zone where we had a nice 10% pump so far, which filled our CME, touched our resistance zone and also formed a nice liq candle above 200EMA.
If all goes well, we might see an MSB form here, which would send the price to lower zones here, but if we see any sort of further movement to upper zones and buyers manage to secure that resistance zone and turn it into a support zone, then we will be looking for the $2,000 area.

Ethereum Hits Critical Resistance — Is a Drop to $1400 Next?Introduction
Ethereum has been in a sustained downtrend over the past weeks, struggling to gain any real bullish traction. After a sharp decline last Sunday, the market remains under pressure, and although we’ve seen short-term attempts to recover, the broader trend still points downward. Technical indicators and price structure suggest this may not be over, with both Fibonacci levels and momentum oscillators hinting at further downside potential.
Resistance from the FVG and Fibonacci
Last Sunday, Ethereum dropped over 10% in a single move, forming a large 4-hour Fair Value Gap (FVG) in the process. This gap signaled a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers, with sellers clearly in control. Earlier this week, ETH managed to retrace up to the 50% level of that FVG but faced immediate rejection, highlighting the strength of the resistance. Currently, price is once again moving into the FVG zone and has reached the golden pocket Fibonacci level between $1650 and $1664. This area often acts as a key pivot for price direction. If bulls manage to break through, the next logical target would be the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement at $1724, potentially completing the fill of the FVG.
Stochastic RSI weakening on the daily timeframe
While the short-term price action shows some bullish effort, the daily Stochastic RSI tells a different story. It has now almost entered the overbought zone, suggesting that Ethereum’s current upward move may be running out of steam. This indicator often precedes a shift in momentum, and if history repeats itself, we could soon see bears stepping back in. With ETH still unable to break recent highs, the setup favors a continuation of the downtrend. If selling pressure resumes, we could be looking at a move down to the $1400 level, or potentially even lower.

Trading Update – ETH/USD – Lord MEDZ Ethereum has tapped into a key breaker block on the weekly timeframe. This level has historically acted as a springboard for major moves. The confluence of demand in this zone suggests a high-probability reversal setup in play.
Support Zone: $1,795 - $1,832 (Order Block)
Current Price: $2,074
Target: $4,093+ (97% upside potential)
Stop Loss: $1,795 (Risk ~13.45%)
Risk/Reward Ratio: 7.23
Worst case, if the breaker fails then we could see a test of the order block below.
The strategic cryptocurrency reserves by the money-printing machine (USA) add another layer to this thesis. This could be the shakeout before the next major rally.
Stay patient, manage risk, and let price action confirm the move.
ETH/USDT Price Action Update – by Lord MEDZMarch 29, 2025
(Not financial advice)
Price has moved down from GB83, but based on current structure, GB83 may not be a rejection point — it could be the Sign of Strength (SOS) in a broader Wyckoff Accumulation.
That means the move down toward GB59 ($1,284) isn’t necessarily weakness — it could be a Last Point of Support (LPS) or even a final spring test before a potential mark-up phase begins.
Current View:
GB83: Potential Sign of Strength (SOS) – a strong move above prior structure followed by a controlled retrace.
Weekly Distribution Candle: Formed near the low, currently expanding downward. This aligns with distribution behavior, but within accumulation context, this could be part of the final test.
GB59 ($1,284): Still valid as the Goldbach pathway termination, and now a critical support to confirm the LPS/spring narrative.
Wyckoff Context:
If GB83 = SOS → GB59 = LPS
A bounce and structure reclaim from GB59 would validate the larger accumulation thesis
Failure to hold GB59 would put that theory at risk
Bias:
Short-term: Bearish pressure still in play
Mid to long-term: Bullish bias intact if GB59 holds as support
Summary:
GB83 may be the SOS, not the top
GB59 is a key reaction zone
Structure still fits within Wyckoff Accumulation
Watching for a bounce and reclaim to confirm LPS → mark-up
Lord MEDZ Final Word:
“If GB59 holds, this isn’t distribution. It’s preparation.”
ETH gives a strong exit from the descending channel!Hello everyone, I invite you to review the current situation on ETH, because you can see a significant rebound at the level of 30% from the last low. When we enter the four-hour interval, we can see how the ETH price moved in the local downtrend channel, from which we got an exit at the top, such a scenario often gives increases at the level of the channel height, which would bring the price closer to the levels of $ 2100.
Here you can see how the current rebound brought the movement closer to the resistance at the level of $ 1830, and then resistance is visible at the price of $ 1950, where the ETH price must then face a strong resistance zone from $ 2060 to $ 2100, where there could potentially be an upward movement after leaving the channel as in this case.
Looking the other way, you can see that when the trend reverses, we first have support at the level of $ 1730, but if it is broken, the ETH price may continue to fall and return to a strong support zone from $ 1480 to $ 1380.
It is worth paying attention to the MACD and RSI indicators because you can see how in the 4H interval we have gone beyond the upper limits of the ranges, which may translate into visible price consolidation on the chart in order to cool the situation.
