Is Ethereum Poised for Breakout Against Bitcoin?
Ethereum (ETH) may be poised for a strong breakout versus Bitcoin (BTC), according to popular crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe. In his latest chart analysis, van de Poppe suggests that ETH is on the verge of escaping its current consolidation range, with a key resistance level now in sight.
Despite trading in what he calls “no man’s land” on the ETH/BTC pair, van de Poppe believes the momentum is building. The critical level to watch is the 0.02325 BTC mark. A move above this could trigger a wave of bullish price action, he says.
Momentum Builds as Ethereum Continues to Outperform
Ethereum has been outperforming Bitcoin since early April, and that trend may continue if bulls can clear the final resistance line. According to van de Poppe, ETH is showing underlying strength, and sentiment could quickly flip bullish with a successful breakout.
His chart marks a key trendline and support zone that ETH has held for several weeks. The RSI indicator remains neutral, suggesting room for further upside if volume increases. The chart also shows an “ideal zone for entries” just below current levels, signaling what van de Poppe sees as an accumulation range.
Traders Watching 0.02325 BTC Level Closely
So far, ETH has struggled to break the downtrend, but van de Poppe believes the lack of selling pressure and recent resilience are positive signs. Once the 0.02325 BTC resistance is breached, the market could see a quick move higher as confidence returns.
For now, Ethereum remains in a holding pattern—but one that could soon give way to a decisive move. If the breakout occurs, it would mark a continuation of ETH’s lead over Bitcoin in 2025.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
