Ethereum RSI breaks; ETH/BTC confirmation and $2.1B options expiry threaten selloff

RSI break puts Ethereum on the back foot. A second signal on ETH/BTC could unlock a sharper drop.

The setup mirrors Solana’s recent sequence. SOL first broke its USDT RSI while its BTC pair looked firm, then rolled over. NewsBTC on the SOL pattern.

Key signals
- ETH/USDT RSI trendline broke, flagging early momentum loss. Umair’s chart
- ETH/BTC is holding for now, but the analysis expects a fresh lower low. NewsBTC summary
- Double confirmation across USDT and BTC pairs historically accelerates downside. NewsBTC
- $2.1B in BTC and ETH options expire today; Wall Street’s Triple Witching notional is ~$5.7T, which can amplify the prevailing move. NewsBTC

The analyst adds that both Bitcoin and Ethereum showed strength during the macro fight but now show fatigue on charts. A lower low “should not surprise,” if ETH/BTC confirms. NewsBTC
