Ethereum Vs. Bitcoin: ETH Price Poised For 80% Rally In 2026

Ether's inverse head-and-shoulders pattern and rebound from a key accumulation zone signal a potential 80% rally in 2026.

Ethereum’s Ether (ETH) token may rally by over 80% versus Bitcoin (BTC) in 2026, according to a classic bullish reversal scenario developing on its long-term charts.

ETH/BTC charts point to a potential move toward 0.059–0.063 BTC in 2026.

Rejection at the long-term trendline could send the pair back toward 0.0175 BTC.

As of December, ETH/BTC’s 2-week chart displayed a textbook inverse head-and-shoulders (IH&S) formation, a classic bullish reversal pattern that typically follows prolonged downtrends.

The pattern’s left shoulder formed during late-2024 weakness, followed by an aggressive capitulation in April 2025 that carved out the head around 0.0176 BTC. This subsequent recovery established a higher low in Q4 2025, forming the right shoulder.

The neckline was around 0.0400 BTC, situated between the 50-period (red) and 200-period (blue) exponential moving averages (EMAs).

A decisive breakout above this zone will likely confirm the IH&S pattern, paving the way for a measured move toward 0.063 BTC in 2026.

This upside target was up 80% from the ETH/BTC rates recorded as of Thursday.
