Ethereum is back at a point on its Bitcoin pair where the price action has always started to ask a dangerous question: is ETH still weak, or is it being priced for another rotation?
Ethereum Returns To The Same ETH/BTC Buy ZoneBy May, ETH/BTC had fallen below 0.027 after recording 14 consecutive lower closes, dragging it to its lowest level since July 2025. That decline means that the Ethereum price has not only been falling in dollar terms or struggling with the broader crypto market but has also been losing ground directly against Bitcoin.
However, the most recent red candle on the ETH/BTC pair turned out to be a doji candlestick, which is the ultimate candlestick of indecision. The current candlestick is still green, and the Ethereum price is now in a position of outperforming the Bitcoin price.
Interestingly, the deeper point in BLADE’s analysis is where the decline has brought the pair. The ETH/BTC RSI has returned to the same support zone that appeared around the February low, near the lower 30s on the indicator. That zone is highlighted on the chart below as the area where momentum became stretched enough in February for Ethereum to begin recovering against Bitcoin.
What’s Next For Ethereum?At the time of writing, the ETH/BTC pair is trading at 0.02835, which is about 35% below its August 2025 high of 0.0434. This was the last time the Ethereum price was in a period of peak outperformance against Bitcoin, and it led to a breakout above $4,000 and its current all-time high of $4,946.
