• Ether since July with a strong increase in price – Bitcoin is lagging behind
• Historically correlated ETH strength with stock highs
• Expert warns of higher volatility if BTC dominates again
Ether’s performance has clearly exceeded Bitcoin in recent months. While Ether, according to Coinmarketcap, has been able to grow by more than 77 percent since the beginning of July, Bitcoin was just up to around 4 percent in the same period (as of September 7, 2025). However, if this outperformance declines and ether ether falls behind Bitcoin, this could have an impact on the stock market.

Ether/Bitcoin ratio in focus
As Tom Essaye, founder and president of the market analysis company Sevens Report Research, recently stated in a message, an increasing ether/Bitcoin relationship has so far often been accompanied by strong, short-lived price rises for stocks that led to highest stalls on the market, reports Marketwatch. “In the past ten years, the share prices have been sneaked up every time we have seen such a robust and pronounced increase in the cryptopaares ETH/BTC,” said essaye.
For the market-wide US index S&P 500, 4.57 percent have been up to 6,481.50 points since the beginning of July (as of: closing course from September 5, 2025).
What happens if the dynamic subsides?
However, it is crucial what happens if the outperformance of Ether is lower. Because the story showed that a resuscitation of Bitcoin, in which the oldest and market capitalization exceeds the largest cryptocurrency ether, could be a warning signal for increasing volatility on the stock markets. In past cycles, the volatility on the stock markets has increased as a result of a declining dynamic, whereby the market width S&P 500 usually recorded a decrease of 10 to 20 percent, reports Marketwatch.
Underestimated risk?
As Marketwatch reports, the relationship between ether and Bitcoin has also increased by 130 percent since his five -year low in April this year. According to Essaye, it developed in parallel to the strong, technology -driven recovery of the stock markets. On August 24, the ETH/BTC ratio was 0.043 according to the TradingView – that was the highest level since September 2024.
Essaye referred to signs of slowing down this dynamic and warned: “The risk that the Long-Eth/Short-BTC trade exhausted seems to be underestimated”. In his opinion, the upward trend, which has been ongoing since August, could soon be put to the test from a technical point of view.
