Ethereum could once again outperform BTCFrom a technical perspective, the ETH/BTC ratio appears ready to resume its upward movement after several weeks of consolidation. Both timeframes — daily and weekly — point to a bullish scenario for Ethereum against Bitcoin.
On the daily chart, the ratio is trading in an uptrend established since spring. The three green arrows mark successive rebounds on a solid ascending trendline. The next touchpoint, in November 2025, could show a precise rebound on this dynamic support, accompanied by a stabilization of momentum indicators (RSI and MACD). This setup suggests that the recent correction may be merely a pause before a new bullish impulse. As long as the ratio stays above 0.030 BTC, the structure remains constructive.
On the weekly chart, the long-term perspective reinforces this scenario. The ratio has formed a broad “cup” pattern, supported by an area identified as “Extreme Support” around 0.020 BTC. After several years of decline, Ethereum has regained relative positive momentum versus Bitcoin. A break above the 50-week moving average, followed by an orderly consolidation phase, could precede a new bullish extension toward the 0.045–0.05 BTC zone, or even higher in the medium term. Historically, every rebound from this support zone has been accompanied by a marked outperformance of ETH versus BTC.
ETF flows support the momentum
On-chain analysis and capital flows also reinforce this scenario. The chart of Ethereum spot ETF inflows and outflows shows a return of significant positive flows since mid-2025. After a period of net outflows during the summer, the trend has stabilized, reflecting renewed institutional interest. Historically, such inflows often precede sustained price increases for ETH.
In a context where Ethereum spot ETFs gain adoption and institutional demand grows, fundamentals support a recovery of the ETH/BTC ratio. If the current zone confirms its role as a floor, Ethereum could enter a new phase of outperformance versus Bitcoin in the coming weeks, supported both by technical structure and market flows.
