The crypto market witnessed a modest rally in Ethereum (ETH) today, with a 1.2% increase in its price, primarily occurring within the last few hours. This uptick in Ethereum’s price comes after a period where its performance did not meet the expectations of market participants, despite its movements still aligning with the broader market trends. 
The spark for today’s price movement appears to be linked to <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/ethereum-to-introduce-alignment-metrics-for-projects-says-vitalik-buterin/">Vitalik Buterin</a>. Buterin engaged with the community on X , where he made a post that many interpreted as bullish. Following this, Ethereum’s price temporarily rose to $2,476 before undergoing a slight correction due to sell-offs. 
While the price change might seem minor, Ethereum’s market dominance saw a significant relative increase today, climbing to 13.86%. This reflects the tangible impact of Buterin’s online activity on the market. 
Buterin’s post, simply stating <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/vitalik-buterin-reveals-shocking-truth-about-layer-2-security/">“Ethereum is good”</a> served as an ironic nod to community members who have been urging him to make a positive statement about the altcoin to potentially bolster its market standing. 
Over recent months, Ethereum has lagged behind its peers like Bitcoin and Solana, drawing critiques from investors and enthusiasts who look to Buterin for leadership in rallying the market. 
In response, Buterin has adopted a unique approach to addressing these expectations. He has started to post images generated by artificial intelligence, often featuring cartoon bulls holding signs that proclaim “Ethereum is good.”&nbsp; 
This <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/vitalik-buterin-reveals-why-cryptocurrencies-are-at-a-governance-crossroads-whats-next/">latest post by ETHNews</a> follows that trend and demonstrates that even these seemingly whimsical gestures can influence market movements. Initially perceived as slightly out of context, it is now evident that the market does respond to Buterin’s unconventional methods of engagement, dubbed by some as “bullposting.”

@TATrader_Alan<a href="https://x.com/TATrader_Alan/status/1843214189135102288"> explains</a> that Ethereum (ETH) has been following an ascending trendline since June 2022. This trendline acts as a support, meaning whenever ETH’s price approaches it, the price tends to bounce back upwards. 
Furthermore, the tweet points out that every time ETH nears this trendline, it forms a symmetrical triangle. A symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern indicating consolidation, where the price fluctuates within a narrowing range before making a decisive move, either upwards or downwards.
