The crypto market is still trying to establish renewed bullish momentum after struggling for much of Q1 2025. But we are finally seeing some positive signs within the price action that suggest we could be getting closer. As far as bitcoin goes, we’ve highlighted the need for bitcoin to get back above the March high just over $95k to send a stronger bullish message. But on a short-term basis, a break back above $87,500 would be encouraging. ETH price action has also been welcome of late. Last week, ETH finally managed to reclaim $2k after consolidating below the level for many sessions. And this week already, ETH has extended the recovery run to multi-session highs. Yet another bullish price action update comes from the relationship between ETH and bitcoin. ETH has been severely underperforming against bitcoin since 2022 and is desperate to put in a bottom of some kind. ETH has been showing signs of outperformance since bottoming on March 13th and the outperformance against bitcoin suggests appetite for crypto assets overall is picking back up, with investors looking to take on exposure beyond bitcoin. Fundamentally speaking, we believe the return of inflows into the bitcoin ETFs, more dovish leaning Fed decision, and diffusion in tension associated with worry around the severity of US tariffs have all been helping to inspire the across the board renewed bid in crypto assets. |
