Ethereum Faces High-Risk Setup: Leverage-Driven Rallies Signal Volatility

The recent surge carried ETH to $4,886, yet the rally stopped short of the much-anticipated $5,000 milestone. While bulls continue to show resilience, the market now faces a pivotal moment. Analysts are divided: some expect Ethereum to continue its upward march into price discovery, while others warn that the market could be preparing for a deeper correction.

Bitcoin is entering a pivotal moment after failing to secure a close above the highly watched $125,000 all-time high. The rejection at this level triggered a sharp retrace, leaving bulls defending critical demand zones around $110,000–$112,000. This range is now seen as the line in the sand that could determine whether BTC resumes its bullish trajectory or faces deeper consolidation.

Crypto analyst Astronomer (@astronomer_zero) says his long-standing bottom thesis on the ETH/BTC pair has played out and published explicit cycle targets anchored to the cross. In a chart shared on X, he reiterated that “ETH bottom call” is in and framed the roadmap entirely through ETH/BTC levels rather than ETH/USD, arguing that Ether’s outperformance typically follows Bitcoin’s impulse and that “all major liquidity comes from BTC.” How High Can Ethereum Go This Cycle? Astronomer’s post centers on a multi-month “zone” on ETH/BTC that he had marked in advance as a potential cyclical....
On-chain data shows the Bitcoin leverage ratio still has a very high value, a sign that has usually proven to be bearish for the crypto in recent months. Bitcoin Exchange Leverage Ratio Has Been Going Up In Recent Weeks As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the BTC all exchanges leverage ratio is still quite high, suggesting that the crypto could still see further downtrend. The “leverage ratio” is an indicator that is defined as the ratio between the open interest and the all derivatives exchange reserve. Here, the “open interest” is a measure of the....
Bitcoin managed to touch the 5th arc pair of resistance on the 2-hour chart setup. This generated a sell signal. Since then it managed to re-test the arc and was rejected. The long-term trend is still up. But the short-term trend is likely going to be down. Looking at this bull setup, a reasonable target is the 1×2 Gann angle at ~ 940. Let’s look at a bear setup from the swing high of $1050 (Kraken): I have overlaid the bear setup on top of the bull setup and have labelled the intersection of the 5th arc pair of each setup. There are arrows at each point that stand out as likely targets in....
Ethereum has not yet broken through arc resistance – it just can’t seem to get out of the arc pair, which keeps pulling it down. So unsurprisingly, ethxbt has fallen through 5th square support of the setup I was using. This means my setup was too small. Taking the setup to the next larger size yields this picture of the 8-hour chart: The drop through support, and consequest re-sizing of my setup strongly suggests that contrary to my thinking 12 hours go, it is Bitcoin which will out-perform ethereum for the foreseeable future. As of this writing it appears that Bitcoin is going to take out....
