The analysis, which is based on the 2-week (2W) timeframe of the ETH/BTC pair, shows Ethereum’s price action breaking decisively above a long-term descending trendline that has held since 2017. At the time of the analysis, the ETH/BTC pair was trading around 0.04077 after a 7% price gain for Ethereum.
However, Pillows tempered his optimism with a caveat: “I just want a 2W confirmation above this level, and you’ll be surprised to see the Ethereum rally,” he said. This means confirmation is important in order for Ethereum to continue outperforming Bitcoin. The breakout will be validated once the 2-week candle closes above resistance, and this might then turn the former downtrend into a base of support on the ETH/BTC pair.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at $4,748.
