ETH/BTC Pulls Back After Massive Rally

After months of strong performance, the ETH / BTC trading pair is showing signs of short-term weakness, a natural cooldown following a 150% rally. Analysts say this pause is both expected and healthy, as Ethereum consolidates against Bitcoin before the next potential leg higher.

The pair’s recent rally has been one of the most notable in recent months, fueled by growing optimism around Ethereum’s Layer-2 growth, regulatory clarity, and institutional accumulation. However, Bitcoin’s resurgence has shifted market dynamics—causing ETH/BTC to retrace slightly as capital flows back toward BTC.

Bitcoin Dominance Strengthens

A key reason for ETH’s relative underperformance is Bitcoin dominance, which has been trending upward in recent weeks. When Bitcoin dominance rises, it typically signals that traders are rotating capital from altcoins back into BTC, especially during periods of uncertainty or macro shifts.

This is often seen as part of a normal market cycle: Bitcoin leads the charge, and altcoins follow once BTC stabilizes. As one analyst noted, “ETH/BTC is cooling off, not breaking down.”

ETH/BTC is showing some weakness here.

It's normal, as ETH/BTC had a 150% rally in a few months.

Also, Bitcoin dominance is showing some strength, so an ETH/BTC correction could happen.

Healthy Correction Ahead?

Technical analysts suggest that a retest of the 0.031–0.033 BTC zone could serve as a key support area before ETH resumes strength. This range has historically acted as a base for major reversals, providing a foundation for future upside.

If Bitcoin dominance continues rising in the short term, ETH may drift lower within this range—but such a correction could actually reset market conditions and attract fresh buying interest.

Long-term sentiment around Ethereum remains positive, with many traders expecting the ETH/BTC pair to recover once Bitcoin consolidates.

After the US October CPI exceeded expectations, Goldman Sachs and Nomura added a forecast for an interest rate hike in March next year, while Deutsche Bank included a forecast for a rate hike in January next year. Currently, the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point rate hike in December, with a 13% probability for a 50 basis point hike. On Wednesday, the US Treasury spot market was closed, but Treasury futures continued to fall, with corresponding yields rising by about 2 to 4 basis points, and spot gold came under pressure, dropping by 1.1%.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
