A crypto analyst has pointed out that Ether is showing signs of breaking out relative to Bitcoin in January 2025. According to TradingView, the ETH/BTC ratio, which measures Ether’s strength against Bitcoin, is currently at 0.0356.
Potential Breakthrough Ahead
MN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe expressed his thoughts on this development in a Dec. 24 Xpost. He stated that he wouldn’t be surprised if the ETH/BTC ratio breaks through 0.04 in January. This would mark a significant milestone for Ether, as the last time the ratio touched 0.04 was on Dec. 8, when ETH traded just above the $4,000 psychological price level at $4,018.
Ethereum ‘Altcoin Run’ Imminent?
Van de Poppe’s predictions suggest that while there will be more inflow into Ether in January 2025, Bitcoin may see outflows. This could lead to a price consolidation for Bitcoin and set off an "altcoin run" in the Ethereum ecosystem.
ETH/BTC Ratio Sees Significant Growth
The ETH/BTC ratio has seen significant growth over the past month, with a 3.26% increase over the past 30 days, according to TradingView.
Altcoins See Surge in Value

Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to trade below $100,000 at $98,805, according to CoinMarketCap data. It reached the six-figure milestone price for the first time on Dec. 5.

Benjamin Cowen’s Thoughts
This comes not long after a crypto analyst said that Ether’s underperformance against Bitcoin may be nearing its end. Into The Cryptoverse founder Benjamin Cowen wrote on X on Dec. 4 that he thinks "the ETH/BTC collapse is over (or nearly over), and it should go higher over the next 6-12 months."
