Ethereum Forms Pivotal Bullish Breakout Pattern
Leading Binance futures trader Logan Han expects for Ethereum to continue its ascent after forming a bullish breakout. He noted that the coin recently broke above a descending triangle pattern after weeks of consolidation, suggesting the medium-term trend is bullish.
He shared a chart suggesting that head into the end of 2020, Ethereum will continue the ascent it has seen in the middle of the year.
This comes shortly after he noted that ETH’s price action now looks similar to that seen prior to the exponential rally at the end of 2017 and the start of 2018.

Others expect the asset to break higher. One crypto analyst noted that as long as the cryptocurrency holds the $350 region on a macro time frame, it will move towards $700 in the months ahead.
The chart shows that $350 has been pivotal for Ethereum over recent years. In 2017, it acted as a launchpad for a rally to $1,400 while in 2018, it acted at a point where the asset underwent a dead cat bounce.
