Can Ethereum Reclaim Its 2021 Highs Against Bitcoin As Fundamentals Strengthen?
As the crypto market matures, the relative strength between Ethereum and Bitcoin is becoming one of the most discussed narratives. The ETH ecosystem is entering a new phase of growth, fueled by scaling solutions, rising staking participation, and a more efficient supply structure. These improvements are steadily reinforcing the ETH fundamentals and long-term utility within decentralized finance and beyond. Ethereum, Bitcoin Recovery Depends On Adoption And Market Rotation The debate around whether Ethereum can reclaim its 2021 highs against Bitcoin is gaining renewed momentum as institutional voices turn increasingly optimistic. Crypto analyst Walter Bloomberg revealed on X that Geoff Kendrick of Standard Chartered remains strongly bullish on ETH despite its prolonged underperformance against BTC. Related Reading: Ethereum’s Price Pulls Back Close To $1,900, But Large Holders Remain Unfazed Geoff Kendrick argues that the current disconnection between ETH’s strong fundamentals and its weak price performance is only temporary. Meanwhile, ETH has experienced a significant drawdown to $2,100, a 57% since August 2025, with the ETH/BTC ratio declining by 37%. However, the on-chain transaction levels and total value locked (TVL) across the ecosystem have reportedly remained near all-time highs. Standard Chartered reportedly compares the current ETH situation to a major technology company, Amazon, during the 2021 dot-com crash, suggesting ETH could bounce back. The bank maintains aggressive long-term targets, projecting Ethereum to reach $4,000 by 2026 and potentially reaching $40,000 by 2030. A move of that scale would also push the ETH/BTC ratio back toward its 2021 peak. The bullish thesis is largely driven by ETH’s dominant 50-65% position in stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), with both sectors expected to experience massive growth. Macro Technical Levels Continue To Shape ETH/BTC Direction A partner with sizeprop known as Scient on X has mentioned that the broader Ethereum and Bitcoin macro prediction has now completed a textbook pattern, closely following the plan mapped out at the February lows. After a sustained 3-month rally, the price delivered a clean bearish retest of the daily market structure shift (MSS) and breaker zone, before rotating lower to sweep liquidity at the February range lows and fill the fair value gap. This move represents a textbook technical execution of the thesis.

If ETH/BTC is going to establish a meaningful bottom, this would be the area where it will happen. On the lower timeframes, the 12-hour chart reveals an important development. The price has been holding its lows quietly for over a week, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) printing bullish divergence, often a signal of classic accumulation at a key level. Scient noted that the confirmation of a sustained move higher is still pending, and the current setup places ETH/BTC at a decisive moment. Either way, the coming days are likely pivotal for determining the next major direction. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

Michael Saylor’s Strategy sparks Bitcoin sale fears after 411 BTC move
Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR ) has sparked fresh fears of Bitcoin ( BTC ) sales after transferring 411 BTC to Coinbase Prime on May 29. On Friday, Strategy deposited a total of 411 BTC, valued at approximately $30.24 million at press time, into Coinbase Prime, an institutional-grade crypto prime brokerage platform backed by Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN ), according to on-chain data from Arkham Intelligence. Transactions showing Strategy depositing BTC to Coinbase Prime. Source: Arkham The move aligned with Michael Saylor’s statement during Strategy’s Q1 2026 earnings call that the company could sell some of its BTC holdings to cover dividend obligations. At press time, the company held approximately $871 million in cash reserves, following its recent early debt repayment, as Finbold reported . Prediction markets bet on Strategy selling BTC in 2026 Following the Coinbase Prime deposit, prediction market traders increased their bets that Strategy could sell Bitcoin before the end of 2026. Specifically, Polymarket traders are betting a 91% chance, up 68% over the last 24 hours, that Strategy could sell any BTC by December 31, 2026. Contract for Strategy selling any BTC in 2026. Source: Polymarket Phong Lee defend the company’s Bitcoin plan? During a Fox Business interview on May 28, Phong Le, CEO of Strategy, admitted that the company could sell some of its BTC to increase its shareholders’ coins per share in the long term. Furthermore, Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin buying during price spikes has created batches of coins purchased at high prices, often above $80,000. “Will likely sell Bitcoin at some point in time, but we will be net increasing our Bitcoin and, more importantly, increasing your Bitcoin per share,” Le stated . With BTC price having dropped below the company’s average cost basis of about $75,000, Le explained that the company could generate large unrealized tax losses on its books due to Bitcoin’s volatility. Le explained that they can strategically sell portions of these higher-cost coins to realize those losses. Moreover, the move could provide valuable tax savings, thereby allowing the company to immediately repurchase more Bitcoin at the lower price and still end up with a net increase in holdings and a lower overall cost basis. As such, Saylor’s Strategy move to deposit BTC to Coinbase Prime could be technical, as Le explained.
