Ethereum Outperforms Bitcoin During Geopolitical Chaos – Is Altseason About To Ignite? | Bitcoinist.com

However, repeated rejections from this area signal that buyers are hesitating, possibly due to the broader market’s caution and unclear macroeconomic outlook.
Top analyst Ted Pillows highlighted a notable development: despite heightened global tensions, the ETH/BTC pair is up on the weekly timeframe. This suggests relative strength from Ethereum and may indicate that the worst of the downside could be behind it. If the pair continues outperforming Bitcoin, it could signal the beginning of a new altcoin trend — but much depends on whether Ethereum can reclaim and sustain levels above $2,700 in the face of growing geopolitical risks and tightening market conditions.
Ethereum Eyes Breakout As ETH/BTC Chart Shows Strength
Ethereum is positioning for a decisive move after more than six weeks of consolidation just below the $2,800 level. Price action has been trapped between $2,500 and $2,800, with bulls repeatedly testing the upper boundary while bears continue to defend it. This prolonged standoff suggests a build-up of pressure that could soon erupt into a major directional shift.
Bulls are attempting to reclaim control as the broader crypto market stabilizes, but uncertainty remains elevated. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, along with the looming risk of US involvement, continues to weigh heavily on sentiment. Investors are cautiously watching for clarity, and until geopolitical risks ease, Ethereum and other risk assets are likely to remain in a sideways trend.
Ted Pillows points to the ETH/BTC weekly chart as a leading signal. According to his analysis, despite extreme macro stress, ETH/BTC is climbing — a sign that Ethereum has likely bottomed relative to Bitcoin for this cycle. Historically, such bottom formations often precede strong altcoin rallies.

ETH Consolidates At Critical Support
The 12-hour chart for Ethereum (ETH) shows continued consolidation within a well-defined range between $2,500 and $2,800. ETH recently tested the lower boundary of this range around $2,500 and held, suggesting bulls are still defending key demand levels. However, upside momentum has stalled multiple times at the $2,675–$2,800 resistance zone, marked by the yellow highlighted region on the chart.

If ETH loses the $2,500 level with strong volume, a drop toward the 100-day moving average around $2,427 becomes likely. On the other hand, a clean break and close above $2,800 could open the door to a fast move toward $3,000–$3,200. For now, all eyes are on the range boundaries as market participants await resolution.
