- Kaleo says Bitcoin clearing $130,000 trendline could trigger vertical acceleration, with historical cycles implying potential path toward $280,000.
- ETH/BTC trends higher as resistance approaches; Kaleo expects continuation, highlighting relative strength and constructive market structure versus Bitcoin.
Crypto trader Kaleo says Bitcoin is approaching a line that has a capped price near $130,000. He argues that a clean break above that trendline would start a “vertical acceleration,” lifting BTC and, by extension, other tokens.
Bottom looks like it's in fellas.
Look at the trend from the previous bull markets when price has come up against similar HTF resistances.

He points to earlier cycles where rallies expanded after price met similar long-range lines. His shared chart implies upside room toward $280,000 if momentum holds.

The trader frames recent drawdowns as part of a longer pattern in which markets pause before they run. He adds that common cycle gauges do not yet show a peak. He cites three checks: peak-style metrics are absent, sentiment does not look overheated, and exponential moving averages still sit below levels seen near prior tops.
Reminder: up only szn is almost here.
Each bull markets saw significant acceleration higher at inflection points tracing back to trendlines touching previous cycle's highs.

He also tracks Ethereum’s progress against Bitcoin. ETH/BTC trends higher and presses resistance. He calls it “Ethereum season,” suggesting relative strength may continue if the pair breaks out. At print, ETH/BTC trades around 0.03867 BTC (about $4,311 for ETH), modestly higher on the day.
For Dogecoin, he highlights a break from a descending channel. He expects faster movement above $0.25 if buyers keep control. DOGE trades near $0.24 after a small dip, with the ceiling in view. The read is simple: clear $0.25 and momentum can pick up.
Finally, he maps Sui within a symmetrical triangle. He notes that $3.00 support held and that a push through the upper boundary could carry SUI to new highs. He labels $10+ a “magnet,” which captures the pull traders often feel when price crowds an old high.
None of this erases risk. Breakouts can fail. Liquidity can thin. Still, the checklist is concrete: watch BTC near $130,000, ETH/BTC resistance, DOGE at $0.25, and SUI’s triangle edge. The tape will do the talking.
ETH/BTC trading pair stands at 0.03810 BTC, showing a 1.42% decline over the last 24 hours and a 2.01% drop on the weekly timeframe, according to data from TradingView.
Despite the short-term weakness, the monthly gain remains positive at 6.99%, and the six-month performance reflects a strong rise of 65.77%, suggesting a longer-term recovery trend is still in play.
The current daily price range has fluctuated between 0.03800 and 0.03927 BTC, with volume around 16.7K ETH. Technical indicators show a neutral trend, with oscillators not confirming a strong directional bias.
Moving averages also signal neutrality, suggesting that the market may be awaiting a catalyst before a decisive move. On the macro chart, ETH/BTC remains within a large symmetrical triangle, and price is hovering near the lower band of this formation.
However, caution remains. ETHNews analysts, such as Isai Alexei, point out that RSI levels suggest a pullback phase, and that ETH/BTC historically shows volatility before altcoin seasons. A retest of the 0.036–0.037 support zone is not ruled out. For bullish continuation, the pair must reclaim the 0.0395–0.0405 level with convincing volume.
