Ethereum’s Ether (ETH) token may rally by over 80% versus Bitcoin (BTC) in 2026, according to a classic bullish reversal scenario developing on its long-term charts.

Key points:

ETH/BTC charts point to a potential move toward 0.059–0.063 BTC in 2026.

Rejection at the long-term trendline could send the pair back toward 0.0175 BTC.

Ether price chart hints at 80% rally versus Bitcoin

As of December, ETH/BTC’s 2-week chart displayed a textbook inverse head-and-shoulders (IH&S) formation, a classic bullish reversal pattern that typically follows prolonged downtrends.

The pattern’s left shoulder formed during late-2024 weakness, followed by an aggressive capitulation in April 2025 that carved out the head around 0.0176 BTC. This subsequent recovery established a higher low in Q4 2025, forming the right shoulder.

The neckline was around 0.0400 BTC, situated between the 50-period (red) and 200-period (blue) exponential moving averages (EMAs).

A decisive breakout above this zone will likely confirm the IH&S pattern, paving the way for a measured move toward 0.063 BTC in 2026.

This upside target was up 80% from the ETH/BTC rates recorded as of Thursday.

Can ETH copy its 450% parabolic move from 2020?

ETH/BTC’s current rebound closely mirrored the breakout that followed its 2019-2020 accumulation phase.

The pair rallied nearly 450% after bottoming within the same 0.0160–0.0200 BTC demand zone.

Ether’s 2025 recovery originated from this identical structural floor, and price is now pressing into the same early-stage resistance cluster (represented via red circles in the chart above) that preceded the 2020 parabolic expansion.

ETH/BTC could climb toward the 0.059 BTC Fibonacci zone, a level consistent with the IH&S breakout trajectory heading into 2026, if this fractal continues to play out.

Ethereum is still in a downtrend vs. Bitcoin

However, the ETH bulls will have to prove that the long-term downtrend is actually over.

Ether remains capped by a multiyear descending trendline that has rejected every breakout attempt against Bitcoin since 2017.

A fresh failure at this barrier would undermine the IH&S and fractal setups and raise the risk of a pullback toward the long-standing 0.0175 BTC support in 2026.

The Holiday Season is near its peak as Christmas is about two weeks away, and naturally, this bullish moment will likely drive crypto assets’ value higher. Many crypto tokens are also nearing their peak and could reach it in this duration.

In line with the same, BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins which could hit new all-time highs before Christmas 2025.

Rain (RAIN)

RAIN is trading at $0.0075, sitting 14.3% below its all-time high of $0.0086. The token will likely need stronger support from the broader market to retest this peak, as recent momentum alone may not be sufficient to trigger a decisive breakout.

The Parabolic SAR indicates an active uptrend, signaling that bullish momentum is building. If RAIN can breach $0.0079 and flip it into support, it could accelerate buying interest and push the price toward its all-time high.

However, if investors take profits or market conditions weaken, RAIN could slip through the $0.0074 support. A breakdown below this level may send the price to $0.0068 or lower. This would invalidate the bullish thesis and stall recovery efforts.

Undead Games (UDS)

UDS is trading at $2.54, positioned just below the $2.59 resistance level. The altcoin remains 35.6% below its all-time high of $3.44. This leaves considerable ground to cover before a full recovery can take shape.

The Ichimoku Cloud signals strengthening bullish momentum, suggesting the UDS could break above $2.59 soon. A successful move past this barrier may push the price to $2.73 and set up a climb toward the psychological $3.00 mark if broader market conditions remain supportive.

However, if bearish pressure returns, UDS could fall through the $2.48 support level. Losing this floor may send the altcoin toward $2.29, and a further drop to $2.12 would invalidate the bullish thesis and weaken recovery prospects.

Monero (XMR)

XMR is trading at $397, holding above the $387 support while pushing toward the $417 resistance. The privacy token sits 18.4% below its all-time high of $471, leaving room for a potential upward move if market conditions strengthen.

The strongest catalyst for Monero is the sharp rise in capital inflows. The Chaikin Money Flow shows a steep uptick, signaling renewed investor confidence. This bullish shift could propel XMR past the $417 barrier and toward the $450 resistance. A breakout above that level may set up a full retest of the $471 ATH.

However, if momentum weakens or holders begin selling, XMR could slip below $387. Losing that support may trigger a decline toward $361 or lower. This would invalidate the bullish thesis and delay any attempt at reclaiming previous highs.
