Santiment noted that “the current outlook shows a slightly more bullish path for Ethereum due to the lack of interest in dip buying compared to Bitcoin”. The sentiment platform added that Bitcoin’s social media coverage had become overly optimistic at its highest prices. “We can see that the greed spike on BTC coincided perfectly with the ATH and local top,” said Santiment.
The platform’s data also indicated that the crypto community has shown greater interest in purchasing Bitcoin after price declines than Ether, even though Ether outperformed Bitcoin over the past three months. Some market observers attribute recent optimism for Ether to increased institutional investments and the wider use of stablecoins following regulatory changes in the United States.
Crypto trader Yashasedu suggested that Ether’s price could exceed $8,500 if Bitcoin were to reach $150,000, citing historic bull market trends. Meanwhile, Standard Chartered recently increased its 2025 price forecast for Ether to $7,500, up from its previous target of $4,000.
Both Bitcoin and Ether experienced price pullbacks after Bitcoin’s all-time high. According to CoinMarketCap, Ether has climbed nearly 33% over the past month, while analyst sentiment and institutional activities remain focused on future growth for both cryptocurrencies.
