Ether (CRYPTO:ETH) and Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) are the only cryptocurrency tokens mentioned in the article, with no reference to Australia and a clear focus on ETH/BTC price trends.
Analyst projections suggest Ether could rally by more than 80% against Bitcoin in 2026 if a long-term inverse head-and-shoulders structure confirms.
The ETH/BTC two-week chart shows a developing inverse head-and-shoulders pattern with a neckline near 0.0400 BTC.
The pattern’s left shoulder formed during late-2024 weakness, while April 2025’s capitulation marked the head at around 0.0176 BTC.
A higher low established in Q4 2025 completed the right shoulder, strengthening the bullish reversal structure.
A confirmed breakout above the neckline could send ETH/BTC toward 0.059–0.063 BTC next year.
This target represents an approximate 80% upside from current levels recorded on Thursday.
The recovery mirrors Ether’s 2019–2020 accumulation phase, which preceded a 450% parabolic rally.
