ETH-BTC rebounds 38% from April low in first real rally of 2025
The post ETH-BTC rebounds 38% from April low in first real rally of 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The ETH/BTC ratio mounted a comeback in May, reversing months of Ethereum‘s relentless underperformance against Bitcoin. After reaching an 11-month low of 0.01805 on April 21, ETH/BTC surged to 0.02501 by May 15, marking a 38.6% recovery in less than a month and a 17% rise in the past seven days. The sharp ascent marks Ethereum’s first showing of relative strength since early February and reopens the question of whether ETH can regain at least some lost ground after a difficult start to 2025. The ETH/BTC rebound came as ETH cleared the $2,000 psychological barrier for the first time since early March. From May 8 to May 15, ETH jumped 15.8%, climbing from $2,206 to $2,554. In contrast, Bitcoin slipped 0.9% over the same time stretch, dipping from $103,641 to $102,680. The divergence confirms that ETH/BTC’s rise reflects real capital rotation into Ethereum rather than simply riding Bitcoin’s coattails.

ETH/BTCnow trades comfortably above its 30-day SMA of 0.02031 after spending most of the past three months beneath it. This stretch of sustained strength, twelve consecutive closes above the moving average, marks a structural break from the collapse seen through March and April, when Ethereum lagged not just Bitcoin but the entire market. Several signals point to the possibility that this move could carry further. First, the ETH/BTC rally began from an extreme low that historically correlated with capitulation and eventual reversal. The 0.0180 low printed in April matches levels last seen during the March 2020 crash, when pandemic fears crushed risk assets across the board. Second, ETH’s surge over $2,000 seems to have unlocked a wave of speculative interest that had been absent earlier this year. The…
