Ethereum Price Needs Decisive Break Above $0.028 vs BTC to Confirm Uptrend

The Ethereum price needs to break above $0.028 versus BTC to confirm a new uptrend, according to trader @CryptoMichNL.

Momentum in the Ethereum ecosystem is currently strong, with AAVE and UNI displaying fresh strength that raises the odds of an eventual breakout if Bitcoin maintains its footing.

On the 4h chart, ETH is sitting at $1743.98, just above the EMA50 at $1734.87, while the EMA200 at $1891.51 caps upside. The neutral RSI and MACD death cross keep near-term bias cautious, but any sustained push through the upper band could accelerate toward the 0.028 BTC trigger once Bitcoin stabilizes.
