Ethereum (ETH) is forming a familiar chart setup that has led to strong gains in past market cycles. On the 3-day chart, a MACD golden cross has aligned with a 9\/21 moving average crossover. This same combination previously marked the beginning of large price increases.<\/p>\n
In three recent cases, this same signal combination led to strong gains. ETH rose by over 61% in September 2024, gained 51% in April 2025, and jumped 89% in July 2025. Each rally began after the MACD turned positive, followed by a short-term moving average crossing above a longer one.<\/p>\n
On the 3-day chart for $ETH<\/a><\/p>\n The last 3 times we got a MACD golden cross followed by the 9\/21 MA golden cross, ETH delivered face-melting gains.<\/p>\n A similar setup is forming again<\/p>\n Will history repeat itself once again? pic.twitter.com\/6NB8WOafEb<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lark Davis (@LarkDavis) January 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n The current setup began forming on December 18, 2025. The crossover is confirmed, and MACD momentum has turned higher. ETH is trading near $3,140 at press time, with a daily volume of $22 billion. The price is up slightly on the day but is still lower by 3% over the past week.<\/p>\n In the meantime, Ethereum has been fluctuating<\/a> between $2,600 and $3,350 over the last two months. Analysts are observing a rise beyond $3,200 as an indication to open the path to the $3,300-$4,000 range. Contrastingly, a major short-term support is at around $3,000.<\/p>\n CPI data is due today, and traders expect<\/a> higher volatility. CW8900 noted<\/a> that ETH \u201cstill has CME gap around 3k<\/em>,\u201d which could act as a magnet in the short term. Lennaert Snyder outlined<\/a> possible trades for both directions, depending on how the price reacts to the $3,170 and $3,060 levels.<\/p>\n Ethereum\u2019s value relative to Bitcoin is also being tracked closely. A chart from analyst Alex Wacy shows<\/a> ETH\/BTC moving out of a multi-year downtrend, similar to the one seen between 2015 and 2018. That earlier setup was followed by a large breakout in ETH\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n The ETH\/BTC ratio now sits at 0.0343. The chart points to a possible move toward 0.15, if the current breakout holds. Wacy described the move as \u201cthe biggest $ETH rotation in 8 years<\/em>,\u201d adding that it \u201ctests patience, not intelligence.<\/em>\u201d The pattern appears similar, but the current market includes more capital and larger players.<\/p>\n Moreover, analyst Kyledoops shared<\/a> that Standard Chartered has raised its ETH projections. The bank now sees the asset at $30,000 by 2029 and $40,000 by 2030. He clarified, \u201cNot a trade call. Not cycle timing<\/em>.\u201d The view is based on Ethereum\u2019s role in on-chain finance over time.<\/p>\n The post Ethereum (ETH) Golden Cross Signals Huge Rally Incoming?<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ethereum (ETH) is forming a familiar chart setup that has led to strong gains in past market cycles.
