Ether Holds a Slight Edge Over Bitcoin; Buy on Weakness
I expect Ether to retain a modest edge over Bitcoin in the near term. Santiment’s observation that ETH social chatter is cooler despite stronger recent performance — and the ETH/BTC ratio rising ~33% over 30 days — suggests upside without the same frothy crowding seen in BTC.
Both assets pulled back from recent highs, with BTC down ~5% from its ATH and ETH trading a few percent below its 2021 record. That retracement and muted ETH dip-buying reduce the immediate risk of a parabolic top for Ether.
Institutional demand and stablecoin adoption support a constructive medium-term outlook; analyst targets between $7,500 and $8,500 imply significant upside if Bitcoin continues higher. I remain cautiously optimistic but expect volatility and recommend disciplined sizing.
