Ethereum (ETH) is showing signs of recovery against Bitcoin (BTC) after several weeks of relative weakness, with analysts highlighting a potential buy zone for the altcoin.
Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Trading and a respected crypto analyst, shared his bullish outlook on ETH’s performance against BTC in a recent post on X.
According to van de Poppe’s ETH/BTC analysis, ETH’s downtrend could soon end as the pair enters a crucial accumulation zone, offering a strategic entry point for investors positioning for the next leg up.
ETH/BTC Enters Ideal Buy Zone
van de Poppe’s one-week ETH/BTC chart shows that ETH has been in a recovery phase since bottoming at 0.01796 BTC in May 2025. From that low, ETH surged by more than 144%, reaching 0.04327 BTC in August.
However, Bitcoin’s stronger performance in the following 12 weeks caused ETH’s value to decline by 24%, dropping to 0.03250 BTC at the time of his update. According to his analysis, the current level around 0.0325 BTC marks an ideal zone for buying ETH.
The recent price rejection near 0.03 BTC also indicates that buyers are actively accumulating, defending a critical support area.
He further emphasized that if the support zone between 0.03 BTC and 0.034 BTC continues to hold, ETH could rally back to retest 0.043 BTC in the short term, potentially confirming a new upward trend.
Growing Market Confidence in Ethereum
Echoing van de Poppe’s insights, community member Silvio Rodriguez remarked that ETH appeacrs to be building quiet momentum even as most market attention remains focused on bitcoin.
Rodriguez also suggested that institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals may be accumulating ETH at these price levels, anticipating stronger performance once Bitcoin’s dominance cools off.
