Hey everyone, been watching the ETH/BTC chart and damn, things are looking exciting. Analysts are spotting classic bullish setups — both a cup‑and‑handle and a bull‑flag against BTC. A breakout above ~0.02596 BTC could send ETH/BTC flying to ~0.03814 BTC (~55% gain), or at least up to ~0.03235 BTC (~30% gain) by July.

Trader Tardigrade even believes that if ETH/BTC breaks out, it could trigger alt-season 2.0 for the first time since 2021. Sensei and Moustache back it too — the altcoin market cap is retesting long-term support, and alts are breaking out of a 7‑year falling wedge. These setups have historically led to massive rallies: think +9,000% and even +180,000% in past cycles.

But here’s the big question: ETH has been surprisingly underwhelming this year, especially in USD terms. So how much weight can we put on this ETH/BTC signal? Is the ratio setup still reliable if ETH’s momentum is weak?

So — let’s get into the fun part:

1. Which alts are you positioning for if ETH/BTC breaks out? Personally, I’m watching L2s (Arbitrum/Optimism), Layer‑1 challengers like Solana, and some high-potential DeFi tokens that tend to pump when ETH/BTC leads.

2. Is this time different? ETH’s lackluster run makes me cautious — but maybe this is the shake‑out before the next big move. Still, a lot depends on Bitcoin losing dominance and capital rotating into smaller cap alts.

3. Risk vs. Reward? This setup is textbook bullish, but if ETH/BTC fails to break cleanly, it could trap latecomers. How are you managing your entries and stops?

🗣️ Your turn — what’s your altcoin pick for alt-season 2025? And does the ETH/BTC breakout signal still hold water, despite ETH’s weakness this year? Let’s hear your takes!
