#Strategy加仓BTC Can Ethereum surpass Bitcoin? Just look at this technical pattern

Recently, an interesting phenomenon has emerged — based on the relative performance of $ETH and $BTC , Ethereum is brewing a rally. Since the low point on November 3rd, the price has not retested the bottom, and structurally, it has clearly formed an inverse head and shoulders pattern. This type of pattern often signals the beginning of a medium-term reversal.

Using Fibonacci retracement to estimate potential target levels:

• 50% retracement: around $5,766
• 61.8% golden ratio: near $6,658
• 100% full retracement: around $9,547

This is not just short-term volatility but a resonance of two forces: relative strength and structural correction.

Once the ratio of $ETH to $BTC continues to move upward, outperforming Bitcoin will no longer be surprising. Of course, $SOL is also involved here, but the current focus is on whether Ethereum can sustain this reversal momentum.

BTC-2,21%

ETH-2,93%

Inverse Head and Shoulders? The last time I heard this term, I lost five figures... But it does seem to have some validity, I just feel that if this target level drops below 5766, I’ll have to liquidate everything, I really can't hold on anymore.

Inverse Head and Shoulders? Is this for real this time, or have we said that several times before? --- If the 6658 level can hold, it’s definitely interesting, but the premise is that BTC doesn’t cause any surprises again. --- Honestly, I’m tired of the narrative that ETH will surpass BTC. Let’s see if it can reach 9547 first. --- Wait, according to your logic, what about SOL? Why does it suddenly become less important? --- Here comes Fibonacci again haha. I’ll believe it if the ratio can break new highs this time. --- Reversal, reversal, always reversing. When will it truly rise? --- The key is whether the low in November can hold, otherwise it’s all pointless. --- Relative strength? When Bitcoin is in a bloodsucking phase, no one can match it. --- Honestly, I’m optimistic about ETH, but entering now is a bit painful. Let’s talk again if it drops to 5000. --- Head and shoulders patterns all look the same; those who truly make money never follow the charts blindly.

Inverse head and shoulders sound pretty intimidating, let's wait and see if it can really stabilize. Whether this wave can break 9500 is the key; don't jump off again. ETH rebound? I'll believe you this time, but it still depends on BTC's mood.

Here we go again with the head and shoulders pattern, every time claiming a reversal is starting, but in the end... let's just see what the coin's attitude is.

Inverse Head and Shoulders? Here we go again. Last time I saw this pattern, I got cut again. Wait, your target range is so wide—6658 or 9547. How am I supposed to know which one to trust? Is it really possible for ETH to surpass BTC? Wake up, Bitcoin's position isn't so easily shaken.
