Ethereum price has been trading more than 50% below its all-time high of $4,800 all year and shows no signs of returning to previous all-time highs. However, this slow trend may not last much longer as cryptocurrency analysts have identified a pattern that could trigger a rebound to previous highs.
Ethereum is trapped in a bullish triangle.
In an analysis published on TradingView, cryptocurrency analyst FieryTrading identified a unique pattern in which the price of Ethereum has been trading for nearly two years. This pattern was a bullish triangle and lasted for over a year and a half.
Looking at the chart, Ethereum price has not broken out of this bullish triangle and has not succeeded in breaking out of it. The love triangle began in mid-2022, when the Terra Network collapse triggered a collapse across cryptocurrency markets. Despite several major recoveries since then, the price of the altcoin has remained within this triangle.

The bottom of this bullish triangle is at the cycle low of $887, while the top is tracking just above $2,100. Considering this range, it suggests that Ethereum would need to clear the $2,200 resistance to break out of this bullish triangle.
What happens if ETH breaks out of this pattern?
As highlighted by cryptocurrency analysts, a breakout of this pattern would lead to a massive rally. The high point of this breakout rally could eventually see Ethereum price return to its all-time highs in 2021, reaching above $4,800.

“In my eyes, a break from this pattern could lead to big gains for ETH,” FieryTrading said. This is because this pattern bursts an area full of short-term stop losses, forcing you to buy back the position,” FieryTrading said. A move to $4,800 would represent a 130% increase from current price levels.
However, the cryptocurrency analyst explains that this may be a long-term achievement, so the cryptocurrency is unlikely to complete this move until at least 2024. However, this paints a good and optimistic picture for altcoins going forward. .
This year on its own, the Ethereum price has performed quite well, especially over the past 30 days. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the price of ETH has risen 16.53% in one month, breaking the $2,000 resistance level, which has now been converted into support.
Ethereum remains the second largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of approximately $250 billion.
