Ethereum's ETH/BTC pair flashes a rare MACD golden cross, hinting at potential outperformance against Bitcoin, mirroring a bullish pattern from 2020.
Ethereum's Golden Cross: A Bullish Signal Against Bitcoin?
Word on the street is that Ethereum might be gearing up for another run against Bitcoin. A rare technical indicator has flashed, and it's got folks talking. Let's dive in, shall we?
The Rare MACD Golden Cross
Ethereum's ETH/BTC pair has confirmed a 3-week MACD golden cross. For those not fluent in technical analysis, this is a big deal. It means the shorter-term moving average has crossed above the longer-term one, suggesting a shift in momentum. Historically, this signal has preceded significant bullish cycles, most notably Ethereum’s strong outperformance against Bitcoin in 2020.
Currently, ETH/BTC has rebounded to 0.03353 BTC, a 9.47% increase. This follows a downtrend that bottomed out around 0.018 BTC in early 2025. The MACD indicator shows its blue line crossing above the orange signal line from deeply negative territory. Sound familiar? It mirrors the 2020 setup, which signaled the start of a multi-month bullish phase.
Why This Matters
Analyst Merlijn The Trader points out that this event typically occurs only once per cycle and has historically been a strong predictor. The current technical conditions appear even stronger than in 2020, with cleaner fundamentals and increased institutional interest.
If buying pressure continues, the ETH/BTC ratio could target key levels between 0.050 and 0.070 BTC, based on past performance. However, a drop below 0.030 BTC would negate the bullish structure and could lead to further declines.
Bitcoin Swift (BTC3) Gains Traction
While Ethereum and Bitcoin battle it out, another player is making waves. Bitcoin Swift (BTC3) is gaining attention with its APY system and decentralized identity (DID) layer. Currently in Stage 4 of its presale, BTC3 has attracted over 2,100 participants and secured more than $580K in sales. The project is priced at $4 per token during this stage, with the next stage set at $5, and a confirmed launch price of $15 expected. The APY for Stage 4 stands at 106%.
Dogecoin's Market Cap
Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently trading around $0.197, with a market cap in the ballpark of $30–40 billion. Ethereum (ETH), on the other hand, sits at roughly $3,475 per ETH, carrying a market cap of about $450 billion. If Dogecoin were to scale up to half of ETH’s market cap, that is, approximately $225 billion, this represents a potential increase of around 7× from DOGE’s current valuation, consistent with projections based on current ratios.
Final Thoughts
So, is Ethereum about to outshine Bitcoin again? The golden cross suggests it might. Keep an eye on those key levels and watch for any shifts in momentum. And while you're at it, don't forget to keep an eye on up-and-comers like Bitcoin Swift (BTC3). The crypto world never sleeps, and there's always something brewing. Stay tuned, stay informed, and happy trading!
