Over the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has shown mixed signals. Bitcoin eased slightly below the $117,000 threshold, while many altcoins including Ethereum, Solana, and XRP saw modest declines. Investor sentiment remains cautious as markets absorb regulatory updates and macroeconomic indicators. Among the biggest news: new rules from the U.S. SEC that simplify listing standards for spot crypto ETFs, which could open doors for more crypto assets to be packaged into regulated investment funds.
• Bitcoin (BTC) has dipped slightly after recent gains, trading around $116,100–$117,000. Ethereum (ETH) is experiencing mild downward pressure, as traders weigh ETH prospects versus regulatory clarity and upcoming technical patterns.
• Altcoins (SOL, XRP, BNB, etc.) showed a mix of stagnation and small losses some were weak, others held steady. Investor focus remains on ETF approvals, macro policy (especially in the U.S.), and technical resistance/support levels.
There’s growing technical analysis suggesting Ether may gain significantly versus Bitcoin by year’s end:
• An inverse head-and-shoulders (IH&S) formation appears to be building on ETH/BTC’s weekly chart since early September. If ETH/BTC breaks above the neckline (~0.0420 BTC), the pattern’s height points to a target near 0.066 BTC, about 75% above current levels.
• Additional bullish signals: a potential golden cross between its 20-week EMA and 50-week EMA, which historically has preceded strong uptrends.
