Ether targets 95 percent upside versus Bitcoin
Gold attracts the inflation hedge trade while BTC lags.
[BTC vs gold]: BTC priced in gold sits near two year lows under 20 ounces.
[Hard money flows]: Gold and silver hit new highs while BTC trades about 20 percent under its peak.
“The debasement trade is Gold and Silver, not Bitcoin,” said Karel Mercx.
Fed fight loads Bitcoin with volatility
Legal pressure on Powell and key inflation data drive fast BTC swings.
[Weekend spike]: BTC touched around 92,000 dollars, traders target shorts toward the low 80,000s.
[Leverage moves]: Order books show liquidation hunts on both sides, not strong spot demand.
“Trump versus Powell will result in even more volatility,” said The Kobeissi Letter.

BlackRock moves 361 million dollars in BTC and ETH
Big transfers spark talk of short term sell pressure.
[Size]: BlackRock sent about 3,743 BTC and 7,204 ETH, worth roughly 361 million dollars, to Coinbase Prime.
[Market reaction]: BTC trades near 90,800 dollars and ETH near 3,100 dollars while volumes jump over 160 percent.
Traders view these flows as “a warning signal for BTC and ETH in the short term,”
Ether targets 95 percent upside versus Bitcoin
ETH/BTC builds a bullish reversal with clear target and risk level.
[Upside zone]: A clean break above 0.042 BTC targets around 0.066 BTC, about 95 percent higher.
[Fail zone]: A drop toward 0.024 to 0.025 BTC would keep ETH underperforming BTC.
“ETH/BTC bottomed in April 2025 and now prepares for further gains in 2026,” said Michaël van de Poppe.
