The cryptocurrency market remains volatile as Ethereum (ETH) slipped to $4,320 before recovering to its current price of $4,548, following its fresh all-time high of $4,880 earlier this week.

The retracement has added pressure across the altcoin market, yet beneath the surface, ETH may be preparing for something much bigger — a fractal pattern that could signal the start of a powerful rally.

Fractal Suggests Bullish Rally Ahead

A fractal comparison shared by analyst Max draws parallels between Bitcoin’s 2020 breakout and Ethereum’s current structure in 2025.

On the left side of the chart, BTC’s price action in late 2020 shows how it swept the previous cycle’s all-time high (ATH) around $19,800, briefly dipped, and then ignited a parabolic rally toward $40K and beyond.

On the right, ETH’s chart in 2025 appears to be echoing this exact pattern. ETH recently swept its previous cycle ATH at $4,868, before retracing and consolidating below resistance — a move strikingly similar to BTC’s behavior before its historic breakout.

Adding to the similarity, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows a comparable reset after the ATH sweep, hinting at cooling momentum before a potential fresh expansion phase.

What’s Next for ETH?

If the fractal continues to play out, ETH may be gearing up for a major bullish rally once it confirms strength above the $4,868 ATH level. A clean breakout could open the doors toward $8,000 and higher, mimicking BTC’s 2020-style expansion.

On the downside, failure to reclaim ATH levels quickly could leave ETH vulnerable to deeper pullbacks toward $4,000 support, where buyers may step in again.
