Ethereum is flashing early warning signs as momentum begins to shift beneath the surface. The RSI trendline break on the USDT pair suggests weakening strength, while the ETH/BTC pair now sits on the edge of following suit. With a familiar breakdown pattern taking shape, the risk of a double confirmation is rising, one that could open the door to a sharper move lower.
RSI Breakdown Signals Early Weakness On Ethereum/USDT
According to a recent Ethereum analysis from Umair Crypto, the USDT pair has already seen its RSI trendline break, signaling an initial shift in momentum. The ETH/BTC pair is expected to follow suit shortly, making a new lower low a matter of when, not if.
This pattern mirrors a sequence recently observed with Solana. In that instance, the USDT pair’s RSI trendline fractured first while the BTC pair initially appeared to maintain its strength. Ethereum is now replicating this exact behavior, setting the stage for a similar recursive breakdown.

While the ETH/BTC pair is currently holding its levels, the analysis suggests this resilience is temporary. However, once the BTC pair loses its footing, the lack of support across both denominations will likely trigger a sharp move to the downside. This alignment represents the most volatile and high-risk version of a market breakdown for Ethereum.
Resilience Under Pressure, But At What Cost?
The analyst went on to emphasize that both Bitcoin and Ethereum have shown notable strength throughout the intensity of the broader macro battle. That resilience is undeniable, but it hasn’t come without a cost. Rather than forming a solid base, the market has effectively been running on borrowed time, and the fatigue now visible on the charts suggests that the cost of that strength is beginning to surface. From this point, a move toward a lower low should not come as a surprise.
A major catalyst is adding to the current tension. Over $2.1 billion in BTC and ETH options is set to expire today, alongside Wall Street’s massive $5.7 trillion Triple Witching event. While such large expiries don’t directly trigger market direction, they tend to magnify existing momentum. In this case, the underlying structure already points to the downside, meaning any move could be accelerated under these conditions.
The breakdown sequence is also becoming increasingly clear. The USDT pair was the first to show weakness, losing its key structure and signaling the initial shift in momentum.
Now, attention turns to confirmation from the ETH/BTC pair. When this alignment occurs, it typically leads to a more decisive and aggressive move lower as bearish pressure takes full control.
