ETH Liquidity Sweep Before Recovery
Ethereum is more likely to bottom before Bitcoin as downside liquidity has been exhausted, with potential sweep of $1,300-$1,400 zone before upside begins
Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (6 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.
Still mostly niche and specialist coverage — not yet picked up broadly by mainstream press.
"Bitcoin dominance turning down while ETH/BTC climbs is the classic early pair; the index and the retail wave usually confirm later, once the move is already running."
"Bitcoin's move above $62,000 lifted sentiment across major tokens. Bitcoin strength, as usual, boosted demand in major altcoins."
"Corporate treasury activity has continued to favor Ethereum even as the token struggles to recover. Bitmine disclosed that it purchased another 27,084 ETH during the past week, increasing its holdings to roughly 5.7 million ETH valued at nearly $9 billion."
"In past cycles, after Bitcoin leads a move and its dominance peaks, capital has frequently rotated into Ether and the broader altcoin complex in a late-cycle altcoin season that drives the ETH/BTC ratio sharply higher, and bulls argue the current extreme in Bitcoin dominance and Ether weakness is exactly the kind of setup that precedes such a rotation."
"The model sees a path to $4,500 to $6,000 by the end of 2026, roughly 170% to 260% above where ETH trades today. The bull thesis at least starts by admitting the pain instead of hiding it."
"Analyst Ted Pillows claimed ETH is more likely to bottom before BTC as most of the downside liquidity has been taken out. He predicts Ethereum might sweep the $1,300-$1,400 zone, but upside liquidity will start to look more interesting."
