Ethereum Up 3%: Can It Outperform Bitcoin From Here On?

Khyathi Dalal

June 03, 2025

Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) appears to be gaining momentum against Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) for the first time in over a year and traders are watching closely.

A breakout could mark the start of a broad altcoin resurgence, provided Bitcoin continues its upward trend.

What Happened: Crypto analyst Kevin shared extensive analysis in his exclusive Patreon, saying that Ethereum is showing strong signs of a long-term trend reversal.

After consolidating for nearly three years, multiple technical indicators are aligning for a breakout:

April’s "massive demand candle" and May's 41% gain underscore growing buyer interest.
ETH is holding firm at its monthly super trend support.
A pending V-shaped cross on the Stochastic RSI and a coiling MACD (in formation since 2020) suggest rising momentum.
ETH's RSI remains below 70, leaving room for a potential parabolic move.

Kevin also points to ETH dominance bouncing from historical levels that triggered previous outperformance (notably 2019–2020), and for the first time in over a year, ETH/BTC momentum has turned positive.

"It's a monthly setup, this will take time," Kevin noted, emphasizing that Ethereum's success still hinges on Bitcoin's strength and macro tailwinds.

While ‘Dogecoin Millionaire’ Glauber Contessoto declared it's "Ethereum's time to moon", trader Altcoin Sherpa remains cautious.

He sees ETH reaching $4,000 but doesn't consider that move impressive and says ETH/BTC still looks weak.

"The real ETH season hasn't arrived yet. I'd rather buy confirmed strength than gamble early."

$ETH will eventually go to 4k but that's not saying much; ethbtc still is a pretty ugly chart. We've all been waiting for 'eth szn' for months now. Although the chart looks pretty decent, I'd rather buy it on the way up vs. trying to preposition myself pic.twitter.com/a5b9hpzJcG

Trader Jelle believes ETH is approaching a critical resistance zone, noting that clearing $3,000 is the "last hurdle" before altcoin season ignites.
