Looking at the recent exchange rate trends, Ethereum indeed seems poised for a breakout. From a technical perspective, since Ethereum's first breakthrough in May 2025, it has experienced two waves— the first in May and the second in July. Now, as of January 2026, the signal for the third wave's breakout has already appeared. This timing is quite interesting; if history repeats itself, there could be significant room for this rally.

Strategically, the current approach is to buy on dips and build positions gradually. Some traders already judged in December 2025 that Ethereum had reached a temporary bottom and are optimistic about the upward momentum in the first quarter of this year. It now appears that this judgment is coming true. Especially for the ETH/BTC trading pair, it is still in the accumulation phase before a major surge, and the exchange rate relationship has not yet fully unfolded.

For trend trading, the key is not to be afraid of chasing. Of course, leverage should be used cautiously, and opening positions slightly lower can ensure stability. The real profit often comes from holding during the mid-term of a trend rather than trying to catch the exact bottom. Currently, this is just the initial stage of the rally, with considerable potential ahead, making it worth continued monitoring.
