Ethereum (ETH) $3,379 is on the brink of a significant movement, according to Raoul Pal, a prominent financial expert and CEO of Real Vision. Pal highlighted the formation of a bullish flag pattern on Ethereum’s weekly chart, indicating that a considerable price jump is imminent. He noted, “The weekly chart for Ethereum has not yet broken, but it is very close. This pattern is a strong signal in the cryptocurrency market and heralds a significant movement.”
Bullish Flag Pattern Observed in ETH/BTC Chart
Pal also pointed out that Ethereum is displaying a similar bullish flag formation against Bitcoin $96,251 (ETH/BTC). He stated that this pattern shows Ethereum’s ability to maintain its value over the long term, suggesting that a significant movement is near. Currently, ETH/BTC is trading at 0.03501 BTC ($3,354). Pal remarked, “Ethereum is at the same level as in 2017, and we see it maintaining its value over time. When this pattern breaks, it is likely that Ethereum will outpace Bitcoin.”
Pal emphasized that if ETH/BTC moves upward from its base channel, it could reach much higher levels. Alternatively, it may trade within a wider range; however, the primary scenario anticipates an upward breakout for ETH, allowing it to advance against Bitcoin.
Economic Indicators Support Ethereum’s Movement
Another factor supporting Ethereum’s movement lies in the ISM Manufacturing Index, which gauges the overall health of the U.S. economy. Pal explained, “An increase in the ISM could enable Ethereum to outperform Bitcoin. This would result from confidence in the economy and businesses’ ability to generate free cash flow.”
Pal forecasts that the price could explode following a potential retest stemming from liquidity in January. He advised investors to closely monitor both the technical and economic indicators related to Ethereum, as these analyses might present significant opportunities in the cryptocurrency market ahead.
