Ethereum price could trigger a massive breakout rally, says Veteran trader Peter Brandt. Although Brandt did not explicitly mention this, his ETH daily bar chart spoke for itself. Based on the trader’s chart and Ethereum price analysis, the ongoing consolidation could trigger a bullish rally.

Peter Brandt Hints Ethereum Price Edging Closer to Breakout

In a recent post, Peter Brandt hinted that Ethereum price is ready to break out. Specifically, he said, “Every dog has its day — woof woof $ETH,” along with a daily Ethereum bar chart depicting a symmetrical triangle.

Judging based on the symmetrical triangle, there’s no specific breakout directional bias. However, if one considers the 50% rally noted between May 8 and 13, this pattern would morph into a bullish pennant. A bullish pennant is a continuation pattern that forecasts a continuation of the bull trend.
