Make or break ETH consolidation patternRecent ETH rises in fiat crosses seem to follow a pattern of sudden jump, narrow swing, range, consolidation pattern and further push upwards. As we test that all-important $100 level it's now make or break. Either ETH pushes through this level or we may enter a period of bearish activity.
ETHEUR
ETHETC: Watch these price targets and time targetAs much as I dislike ETC, the chart here shows some levels where price could reverse...as well as the time target expiration for the last rally in this pair. Overall, I am in favor of investing in Vitalik Buterin's project, so, from day 1 I didn't think ETC was a good thing to hold. The chart has proved me right thus far, but at one point, it might become a good 'Ethereum hedge' in case of a top in the rally.
This could coincide with the point when the monthly trend tops in ETHEUR, so it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case.
Just set some alerts here, and stay ready for updates. It might just keep going until the time expires, then we would need to revisit the chart and track progress and update the fundamentals.
Cheers,

ETH Doom pt 2.Blood will be spilled as the charts are painted crimson over the coming days. This is following on from the original ETH doom idea which I posted at the end of March. Support will be found on the bottom of the weekly Keltner channel ($18-20) and this is where I will be buying back/longing.
ETHUSD ETHBTC My thoughts on the direction of ETHIf you look at my last idea, you can see where this idea originates. I think it will break the current resistance at ~45 and continue up to the ~$48-50 resistance mark. I will be selling shares around then because I feel it may go back down to what would be the ~$45 support (or even lower) to finish off the head and shoulders pattern. What do you think?
ETH Rise During Bitcoin DowntrendIt has become clear in recent times that the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices directly correlate with each other. Whales are constantly pumping one while they dump the other; rinse and repeat. Therefore as Bitcoin is now completing the final shoulder of the IH&S, ETH will pump up to potential new highs.
ETHBTC: ratio chart updateETHXBT has been rallying steadily for now, and is approaching a strong resistance zone. We can expect a short term top or consolidation here, if not, aim for the next level on chart.
I'm holding my positions and won't sell until the monthly targets are hit.
We can trade this pair in the short term though, and capture short term declines with margin positions. Keep an eye on the key levels above, and my next updates.
Good luck,
Ivan Labrie.
ETHXBT: Ethereum has a weekly uptrendThe target hasn't been hit yet, but we might end up hitting it, and stalling there for some time, as I had explained in the monthly chart I posted. If you're long, look into closing margin longs on target, or if you own more than 50% account, go back to BTC to maintain equal weights in your cash account (spot, no leverage).
The support here is strong, so you can probably look into going long if this support zone holds.
$BTCUSD is right against resistance, derived from the ETF decision news price action. It's a good idea to short with a stop at 1190+, or simply buying $ETHXBT alternatively (if you didn't yet).
We closed our margin longs on the previous bar, and now reentered. With some luck, we won't go any lower before hitting the weekly 'Time at Mode' target.
Good luck,
Ivan Labrie.
