#ChristmasMarketAnalysis Benjamin Cowan: Ether will start growing faster than bitcoin in the coming months

Drawing on historical cryptocurrency market cycles, Benjamin Cowen said that the ETH/BTC pair will start rising early next year, and regardless of the performance of BTC/USD.

“Historically, the ETH/BTC pair has bottomed in December or January. December is coming to an end, and I think ether will remain weak against bitcoin for the rest of the year, maybe into early January. But then I expect ETH/BTC to rise, regardless of BTC/USD movement,” the analyst said.

Cowan also said that 2025 should be quite a good year for traders of the ETH/BTC pair. He compared data from 2021 and 2022, analyzed movements in 2017 and said that next year should be a green year for ether:

“I would say you'll see more green candles on the quarterly charts in 2025 and maybe even early 2026.”

Earlier, Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Consultancy, predicted a possible bitcoin decline in January 2025.
