Weโre covering this particular tweet because of a compelling technical analysis on why Ethereum is bullish against bitcoin. Within the same tweet, the person behind the account created a thread to support the forecast.
For instance, on May 24, the analyst emphasized how Ethereum converted the former resistance of 0.03 into support. In our book, thatโs seemingly bullish price action as it shows rejection of lower prices.
Here is an illustration of Ethereum flipping a key resistance area into support:
Zoomed in because you can’t actually see the stop on previous post.
Decisive close under this swing low + HTF s/r flip and i’m out.

Longer Timeframe Ethereum Analysis
The analysis also points to an ultra bullish take on a longer time frame. Based on the tweet, the resistance into support (S/R) flip and the retest of the three-day order block (OB) looks clean on the longer timeframe. In technical analysis jargon, order block is another term for a support or demand area.

With the cryptocurrency flashing bullish signals, Rampage posted a chart where the targets are specified. The first target is 0.040873 and the second target is 0.053449. Ethereum is trading at 0.030858 as of press time. If the analysis turns out to be accurate, long postitions in the market can potentially boost Ethereum holdings against bitcoin by over 70 percent.

It has been three weeks since the prediction was made, and Ethereum has yet to make its move. However, bulls have a legitimate chance in the next 24 to 48 hours to finally make their presence felt. The key level to take out is the resistance between 0.031 and 0.032.

A look at the daily chart shows that the cryptocurrency is painting a large falling wedge. This is regarded as a bullish pattern. The breach of the diagonal resistance should start the fireworks for Ethereum.
The good news is that bulls are in the perfect position to break out of the pattern. They have been threatening to take out the diagonal resistance for almost a month now. During that period, the daily RSI has gone bullish. It broke out of a triple bottom pattern when it converted resistance of 47 into support. This is a very good signal indicating that the market is gaining significant bullish momentum. All of which supports the analystโs forecast and price targets.
So far, we have a confluence of several events that support the analystโs forecast. First, we have a clean support into resistance flip (S/R) in both the shorter and longer timeframes. In addition, bulls look ready to break out of a falling wedge on the daily chart. The bullish momentum gained as seen on the daily RSI will likely give the bulls the push they need to go over the edge.
With these factors, we may very likely see Ethereum trading at 0.040873 and then 0.053449 in the coming weeks.
