Ethereum is approaching a decisive part that would carry it into five-figure territory, in keeping with a multi-timeframe evaluation from dealer Cantonese Cat (@Cantonmeow).
Ethereum Ready To Smash All-Time Highs
In a video printed at the moment, the analyst argues that ETH has cleared a cluster of late-cycle resistances and is now exhibiting a confluence of technical indicators—on month-to-month, weekly, day by day, and intraday charts—that “favor some of the higher targets to be met, maybe 1.272, 1.414, 1.618, anywhere around potentially five figures.” These Fib ranges would put ETH at $7,752, $9,883 and $14,011 respectively.
On the month-to-month chart, the analyst facilities his case on the log-scale Fibonacci construction and volatility regime. ETH, he says, spent months stalling across the 0.886 retracement close to $4,000—the identical zone that repeatedly repelled the market in prior makes an attempt—however “last month, we had the break through that here, convincingly.”

He notes that the wick of the most recent push already poked above the wick from the November 2021 peak, reinforcing the concept that provide on the former high is thinning. Simultaneously, the month-to-month Bollinger Bands are increasing whereas value “is impulsively going to the upside here along with the upper Bollinger Band,” a backdrop he describes as in line with pattern acceleration relatively than imply reversion. “It does favor some of the higher targets to be met,” he mentioned, whereas stressing sequencing: “We need to kind of break above the previous all-time high here first before we can actually talk about moving further up.”
A second pillar of the bullish thesis is the Ichimoku profile throughout cycles—particularly the fusion of Tenkan-sen (conversion line) and Kijun-sen (bottom line). “When you have the Tenkan and Kijin fused together and price is riding up along with it, this fusion over here is called Katana,” he defined. Historically, he mentioned, this “precipitates a big move,” and with value now above the Katana, “the Katana is shooting the price up.” On the present construction: “We got a Katana here being built up and price is currently impulsively going to the upside, so that is also favorable for Ethereum.”
On the weekly timeframe, Cantonese Cat frames ETH’s advance by means of a three-cycle template outlined by a “cycle liquidity zone” performing as a pivot. Each prior cycle noticed deviations above and under a governing pattern line earlier than a sustained transfer as soon as the zone was recaptured. He locations the current consolidation straight on that blueprint: after breaking the “$4,000 liquidity level,” ETH is “consoling sideways… trying to find some energy before breaking up higher.” A back-test is feasible however not required, he mentioned; the “primary case” stays continuation until the chart invalidates.
Lower Timeframe Signals
The decrease timeframes, in his view, are already aligning with that end result. On the day by day chart, he highlights a creating “Adam and Eve continuation pattern” nested inside a basic cup-and-handle, the place “the handle… volume is not that great,” which he views as textbook, adopted by “a pretty decent volume bullish engulfing candle.”
Measured in opposition to log-scale retracements, value was rejected at 0.786, discovered assist at 0.5, and is now “trying to break through 0.6… work our way back… to 0.786,” a rhythm he says “is being respected pretty decently.” He additionally factors to a short-term bottoming sequence—“you can see something called a tweezer bottom… if you have anywhere around two or three of these kind of wick sticking down like that, that’s usually a pretty decent bottom”—and a three-candle “morning star” reversal: “It’s a reversal pattern and it could end up leading to a reversal here… seems to be working out pretty well.”

On the 12-hour chart, he reads the construction as reaccumulation in a Wyckoff sense, referencing the “rounded bottom,” a strengthening secondary take a look at—“the ST is higher than the VCLX”—and the emergence of a “creek” overhead that value seems able to vault. “It does look like a reaccumulation type pattern… showing some strength… consolidating sideways… to reaccumulate before [a] bullish continuation,” he mentioned, including that after the prior vertical leg, digestion at elevated ranges is constructive.
Relative-strength diagnostics, he argues, reinforce the ETH-led narrative. Ethereum’s market-share gauge (ETH.D) “has broken above the Ichimoku cloud… with strength,” then “back-tested the cloud for about four weeks,” and could also be ready for the Tenkan to “rise… as support” earlier than the following leg. On a month-to-month volatility foundation, he provides, “the 20-month moving average was reclaimed… and we simply spent a month here back-testing” it—proof that dominance may pattern larger if the back-test holds. “That’s basically meaning that Ethereum wants to continue to outperform the rest of the cryptocurrency market here for [the] foreseeable future,” he mentioned.
Breadth indicators outdoors of ETH additionally tilt risk-on in his framework. The Total3 index (whole crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum) is “trying to break above and form an all-time high” on a month-to-month “cup and handle” construction, whereas the “Others” index (market cap excluding the highest 10 cash) has punched by means of the 0.786 stage on the weekly and is “gravitat[ing]… to the next level, the 0.886.”
He emphasizes the excellence between log and linear retracements, noting a failed linear 0.886 breakout in a previous try: “If we were to break above the linear, as well as the log 0.886 here with style, then I think Others would end up performing extremely well and would end up following the footsteps of Ethereum.” His conclusion is unambiguous: “I am bullish on Ethereum. I’m bullish on altcoin. I’m bullish on the cryptocurrency market space in general.”
At press time, ETH traded at $4,565.
