ETHBTC Breaks Its Downtrend as Chart Shows First Clean Retest and Lift

Ethereum’s ratio against Bitcoin is showing its clearest bullish structure in months after breaking out of the descending channel that shaped the entire autumn move. The chart from BitBull highlights how price pushed above the upper trendline for the first time, paused on a clean retest and then turned higher again. That sequence often signals a shift in momentum as sellers lose control of the range.
