In the recent months, the market has seen massive surges for Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT) and Cosmos (ATOM).<\/p>\n<p>These altcoins have been seeing impressive gains as Ether (ETH) has been facing scalability issues and high network fees. This is resulting in negative sentiment on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a>, where some investors and traders are doubting whether a bullish breakout will happen for Ether price. <\/p>\n<p>But this is might be exactly the period to become interested in the second biggest cryptocurrency, especially with major upgrades expected for Ethereum in the summer. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ether_holds_a_critical_level_for_continuation\"><\/span>Ether holds a critical level for continuation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-03\/539a9819-7030-44b9-95b6-bdf4946b8c3d.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>ETH\/USD 1-day chart.

This was a 35% correction and pretty healthy for the bull market before it can resume. <\/p>\n<p>The bull cycle is intact as long as it doesn&#8217;t lose the critical levels, namely the $1,300 region, which was confirmed during this latest pullback. Luckily for the bulls, Ether&#8217;s price didn&#8217;t drop below this level, as the chart above shows.<\/p>\n<p>However, what comes next is debatable. There&#8217;s a clear resistance zone between $1,800 and $1,900, while support levels are shown by the green boxes. The primary box is found between $1,475 and $1,550. <\/p>\n<p>There are several important things to point out here. First of all, the momentum and sentiment were comparable to a funeral once Ether&#8217;s price hit the $1,300 level. Usually, such rock bottom market sentiment is a big indicator to start looking for entry positions.<\/p>\n<p>Now, ETH sentiment has flipped as the public typically becomes bullish at resistance. Therefore, the most likely case here would be range-bound action for the coming weeks before a new impulse wave can start. Such an impulse move could trigger continuation toward $2,500 or higher.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_the_ETHBTC_pair\"><\/span>Watch the ETH\/BTC pair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-03\/0e389c74-d5d1-4d25-a868-742792e328c9.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>ETH\/BTC 1-day chart.

For instance, the all-time high for ETH\/BTC was 0.112 sats in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The chart shows a clear rejection at the 0.035 sats level, which means further consolidation is likely before a potential shift in momentum. If the 0.03 sats area holds, additional compression and sideways action should start, which may then kick off a new impulse wave. <\/p>\n<p>Currently, Ether is making another higher low in the BTC pair, which may add further strength toward a new higher high. This can then open the path toward 0.06 or 0.08 sats. <\/p>\n<p>Bullish <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> can also boost the value of ETH in the short to medium terms. Specifically, the major upgrade\u00a0dubbed \u201cLondon,\u201d expected\u00a0in July, should alleviate the high network fees and also add deflationary pressure on the ETH token.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitcoin_dominance_nears_critical_level\"><\/span>Bitcoin dominance nears critical level<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-03\/38002fa2-ebe9-4025-810b-1f7b53c37d4b.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>BTC Dominance 3-day chart.

In this case, BTC dominance has topped out in December, which was followed by a massive \u201calt season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But now, the Bitcoin dominance chart shows a potential bottoming construction at a key support level. In other words, after such a big multi-month rally in altcoins, a correction wouldn\u2019t be a surprise alongside rising BTC dominance. <\/p>\n<p>This could mean that Bitcoin will rally in dollar terms. Or, if BTC corrects against the dollar, altcoins will likely see an even bigger pullback than BTC.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, if history repeats, the dominance will crawl up, alongside Ether testing the 0.03 sats area. After that, I expect the summer to be a very bullish period for altcoins. <\/p>\n<p><em>The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the <\/em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cryptomichnl?lang=en\"><em>author<\/em><\/a><em> and do not necessarily reflect the views of Cointelegraph.
