Ether’s ETH/BTC golden cross signals continued outperformance

CoinDesk says the ETH/BTC ratio has climbed 25% from its June 6 low as the 50-day average rises above the 200-day level.

CoinDesk reports that a bullish golden cross has formed on the ETH/BTC ratio, a technical signal that points to ether potentially extending its outperformance versus bitcoin.

According to the outlet, the ratio has risen 25% from its June 6 low, with the latest crossover occurring when the 50-day moving average climbs above the 200-day average.

The article also notes that golden crosses are based on historical price action, not a forward-looking forecast, and that their track record on ETH/BTC has been mixed.

As examples, CoinDesk cites the most recent crossover dated July 25, 2025, when the ratio rallied 36% over the next four weeks before reversing into a sharper downtrend, while a February 2021 golden cross preceded a 93% rally.
