Ethereum has seen a strong macro rally over the past two months, rallying from $240 to $420 as of this article’s writing.
ETH traded higher, as high as $440 just two weeks ago.
The Tom Demark Sequential predicts that ETH’s rally will pause for a number of weeks, and maybe reverse lower.
This assertion comes courtesy of a historically accurate signal for Ethereum.
Bitcoin’s price action may end up determining ETH’s, though.
Ethereum’s Price Rally Will Pause in the Near Future
According to a Telegram channel tracking appearance of the Tom Demark Sequential “9” candle, Ethereum is bearish.
The Telegram channel shared this chart below on the morning of August 31st. It shows that ETH has formed a “sell 9” candle against the dollar on its weekly chart. Such “9” candles are seen prior to bearish inflection points in the trend of an asset.
The Tom Demark Sequential has had eerie accuracy in predicting Ethereum price action over recent years. As the chart below shows, there was a “sell 9” candle at the May highs, prior to a four-week retracement, and there was a “buy 13” at the March capitulation lows.
There are also three other instances shown in the chart below where ETH has come in handy.

The appearance of this bearish signal comes as crypto analysts have flipped bullish on ETH after it managed to print a reversal candle just this past week.
As reported by Bitcoinist, one certain trader targeted $405 as the point that they would turn from bearish to bullish on Ethereum. The coin now trades for $420.
“If you ask “why?” $405 represents the cleanest set up with the best stopping point for me to believe that the correction is over and the uptrend resumes. It’s simply the line in the sand for my set ups, below, short favoured, above, we resume upside movement. Good movement on $ETH right up into $405. Somewhere around here is the major decision point for me,” the trader said on the importance of price action around $405.

Dictated by Bitcoin’s Price Action
What may end up pushing Ethereum higher from this consolidation is price action in Bitcoin. The leading cryptocurrency, after all, dictates the directionality of the rest of the cryptocurrency market.
Analysts are currently expecting BTC to soon break higher as the fundamentals of the asset continue to strengthen. For instance, investing giant Fidelity Investments revealed last week that it has its own Bitcoin fund.

This Historically Accurate Signal Predicts Ethereum's Rally Will Pause
Crypto enthusiasts could make $122K per year mining Ethereum with this setup

Simon Byrne has taken at-home crypto mining to a whole new level as he looks to capitalize on Ethereum’s (ETH) enormous price potential.
As first reported by Anthony Garreffa, Byrne has set up an ETH mining rig consisting of 78 GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards. Although the RTX 3080 is marketed toward high-end PC gamers, crypto miners are using these powerful specs to enhance their capabilities.
With each card using roughly 300W of power, Byrne’s setup uses 23.4KW of energy. And that doesn’t even factor in associated costs like AC. All said, his electricity bill is estimated to run up to around $2,166 per month.
The RTX 3080 launched in September at a price of $699, but supply shortages have caused the per-unit cost to swell to $1,199. At the shortage price, that’s a price tag of $93,522 for Byrne’s setup.
Still, these costs could be offset by the operation’s mining capability. One GeForce RTX 3080 graphic card has a hash rate of around 83MH/s using Ethash, which should generate roughly 0.22236870 ETH per month, according to Garreffa. All 78 cards would therefore generate 17.3 ETH per month, which is equivalent to around $12,352 at today’s prices.
Stripping away the electricity costs, that’s roughly $10,200 per month or $122,000 per year. And that’s not factoring in Ethereum’s price potential during the next bull market.
Ether’s price zipped past $700 over the weekend, the first such move since mid-2018. The return of altseason, as some have predicted, could send ETH’s price even higher over the medium term as investors cycle from Bitcoin to other large-cap cryptocurrencies.

BTC price dips as Coinbase halts XRP trading
Data from Cointelegraph Markets, Coin360 and TradingView showed BTC/USD hitting lows of $25,830 during Tuesday trading.
$27,000 support failed to hold overnight, sparking a retest of lower levels which now center on $26,000. At the weekend, Bitcoin hit all-time highs of $28,400 before swiftly reversing.
The latest losses come as XRP, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, hits $0.23 thanks to major U.S. exchange Coinbase opting to suspend trading from next month. The reason is a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which threatens to classify XRP as an unlicensed security and make trading it all but impossible.
“There is going to be a rangebound construction, after which 2021 will most likely break out again,” Cointelegraph Markets analyst Michaël van de Poppe summarized about Bitcoin’s short-term perspectives in a video update on Monday.
Analyst braced for altseason
Van de Poppe is eyeing altcoins as next in line to see major gains. XRP notwithstanding, the market is already showing signs of life, with Ether (ETH) climbing above $700 for the first time since May 2018 this week.
Another winner on Tuesday was Polkadot (DOT), now the seventh-largest token by market cap, which saw a 22.5% daily rise, capping weekly performance of nearly 34%.
For Van de Poppe, the next “impulse wave” on Bitcoin in 2021 should take the market to $40,000 or $50,000, but “until then, altcoins will most likely do well.”
He additionally pointed to a likely top in Bitcoin market cap dominance, which at almost 70% should soon give way to altcoin presence. December tends to see BTC dominance peaks, with 2017, the time of Bitcoin’s first attempt to crack $20,000, a notable comparison.
