Ethereum is gaining momentum against Bitcoin after reclaiming its bull market support band, signaling a potential shift in strength between the two leading cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum reclaims bull market support against Bitcoin, eyes 0.035 BTC target
Ethereum challenges Bitcoin after long period of underperformance
Recent analysis by MikybullCrypto indicates that Ethereum (ETH) has regained its weekly bull market support band, measured against Bitcoin (BTC). This move is seen as a sign that ETH may be entering a phase of renewed relative strength following a prolonged period of lagging behind Bitcoin.
The ETH/BTC pair has also surpassed a descending trendline that has defined its broader downtrend. Analysts note that the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching the midpoint at 50, which often signals an improving momentum.
Should ETH maintain its position above this support band, the next key resistance levels could emerge at 0.031 BTC and 0.035 BTC. Analysts emphasize the importance of remaining above the reclaimed support, as a close below this level may undermine the current bullish setup and reaffirm Bitcoin’s dominance.
Maintaining ETH/BTC above the weekly bull market support band could mark a significant trend shift, increasing the likelihood of Ethereum outperforming Bitcoin if 0.03 BTC is held.
Technical breakout remains unconfirmed, next targets in focus
For the first time since late 2025, Ethereum has closed above its weekly bull market support band versus Bitcoin, according to Daan Crypto Trades. The ETH/BTC pair is also testing a break of its extended descending channel, which may further support a bullish turnaround if confirmed.
A sustained move above the 0.03 BTC level is viewed as critical for confirming this breakout and opening the path toward higher resistance levels near 0.032 BTC and 0.035 BTC.
However, at the time of reporting, the breakout remains tentative as ETH/BTC is still trading below 0.03 BTC. If Ethereum loses the support band at approximately 0.0287 BTC, there is an increased risk of further declines toward the 0.0262 BTC zone.
The ongoing battle around this key support and resistance structure will likely determine whether Ethereum can sustain its gains against Bitcoin in the coming weeks.
| 0.03 BTC | Not yet surpassed | 0.0287 BTC |

The crypto community continues to monitor the ETH/BTC pair closely as technical factors and relative strength signals could reshape the market’s current trend.
