Analysis of the current crypto markets: Bitcoin and Ethereum are poised for decisive moves as institutional investors take action.

Bitcoin rally in sight? Ethereum Consolidates, Could Break Out!
The cryptocurrency market is currently showing a lot of movement and excitement, especially with regard to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin has recently stabilized at critical support on the 4-hour chart. With tighter price action represented by falling highs and a stable support line, current patterns suggest an impending breakout, although the direction remains uncertain. A break above $110,000 or a fall below support could result in significant price movements. Finanz.net reports that Institutional investors have been massively accumulating BTC recently, while individual investors are acting cautiously.
Recent data shows that BlackRock recommends a 2% Bitcoin weighting in portfolios and has over $400 million invested in BTC. In addition, Donald Trump's media company plans to use $2.5 billion to accumulate Bitcoin. Interestingly, the funding rates on many stock exchanges are in negative territory, which historically is often associated with bottoms and rises.
Ethereum in focus
Ethereum, on the other hand, is currently consolidating below horizontal resistance. This structure resembles an ascending triangle, indicating a possible bullish breakout. The price could rise quickly if it breaks the $3,100 to $3,200 mark. Recent chart analysis shows that the ETH/BTC chart is pointing to an increase in relative strength, highlighting Ethereum's increasing dominance. Crypto Magazine highlights that the institutional investors and technical analysts are showing great interest in Ethereum.
While Ethereum managed to stabilize above $1,800, the charts are showing signs of bottoming out. Analysts see parallels between Ethereum and Bitcoin ahead of its recent rally. The Ethereum price was at $1,837.19 at midday on Thursday, up 2.44%. Resistances at $1,810 and $1,850 are crucial; A breakout could catapult the price to $1,920 and even $2,100.
New trends and developments
Layer 2 solution Solaxy ($SOLX), meanwhile, has seen high demand, with more than $41.5 million raised in presale. Solaxy offers a solution to reduce scaling issues for Solana and is trading at an entry price of $0.001738 per token. Dynamic staking that offers up to 97% APY could be appealing to investors.
Looking at the overall development of market conditions, on-chain data shows a possible undervaluation of Ethereum and long-term investors are holding their positions. Furthermore, short sellers are retreating, further reinforcing the bullish sentiment. Although Ethereum has lost around 46% of its value this year and is over 60% below its all-time high at the end of 2021, there is still hope for positive trend reversals.
