Altseason is still in the early stages, with Ethereum on the early mover list and broader altcoins waiting to pick up the momentum following their recent downturns.
ETH is trading between $4,280 and $4,380, resistance is solid and volume has typified mixed buyer-seller pressure.
A break above the level of 4,350 would open tests up to 4,400 and rejection may lead to another pullback to 4,280 support.
The cryptocurrency market is an indicator of future fall before the larger altcoin trend comes back. Past trends indicate that in most cases, short term declines precondition the emergence of more powerful rallies. Etherium is the dominant indicator and its trends define the future of the next altseason.
Altcoin Cycle in Transition
Market data highlights recurring cycles where altcoin rallies are followed by sharp corrections. These phases typically align with shifts in Bitcoin dominance and liquidity rotation. Current conditions reflect this same structure, with Ethereum leading and other tokens lagging.

This chart looks as if a further decline is imminent.
In other words: Altcoinseason will continue.$ETH has already taken the first steps. Everything else ALWAYS comes afterwards. And things get really wild towards the end of the cycle.

Ethereum’s early movement signals that broader altseason activity has not yet reached its peak. Historical cycles show that ETH often rallies first while smaller tokens accelerate later. This suggests a transitional stage, with volatility still shaping the cycle’s outcome.
Volatility remains a key element, especially near the end of each cycle. Liquidity rotating from Bitcoin into altcoins tends to amplify rapid price swings. However, analysis indicates that the market has not yet reached this extreme stage.
Ethereum Price Action
Ethereum trades near $4,329 within a $4,280 to $4,380 range. Resistance remains at $4,350 to $4,380, where sellers have repeatedly emerged. Support is visible around $4,280, limiting deeper downside so far.

Volume patterns reveal sharp spikes during both upward and downward wicks. This shows aggressive participation from buyers and sellers, though no group holds clear dominance. Lower volume on recent rises suggests momentum remains fragile.
The Bollinger Band %B indicator sits near 0.83, signaling moderate bullish bias. A breakout above $4,350 would open tests of $4,400. Conversely, rejection would likely return ETH toward its $4,280 support zone.
