Since this cycle began, it is not a secret that Ether Leeum's performance has been tamed than Bitcoin. However, this trend became most obvious at the beginning of the year, when the price of ETH dropped to $ 3,000, the BTC continued to move to more than $ 100,000.
When Bitcoin's price eventually lost $ 100,000 in the first quarter, Etherrium's value has already been nearly $ 2,000. Premier Cryptocurrency has recently reached its newest level, but “King of Altcoins” is faced with a significant resistance of about $ 2,800.
Will radiation lead to re -evaluation of investment strategy?
In the last few weeks and months, the price growth rate of two assets provides insight into the reduction of the relationship between Bitcoin and Ether Leeum. Chain analyst CARMELO ALEMAN from a recent Quicktake post on the Cryptoquant platform said that there was a separation between the world's two largest cryptocurrencies.
ALEMAN defined his correlation in his post.
The correlation is a statistical measurement of the relationship between the two variables. In financial analysis, it helps to determine whether the two assets tend to move to the same direction (positive correlation), the opposite direction (negative correlation) or independently (0).
Historically, Bitcoin and Ethereum have always maintained a strong positive correlation (usually 0.7 or more). This long -term trend explains why most BTC movements have often been reflected by Etherrium prices over the past few years.

But Aleman pointed out that there was a separation between the top two assets since the beginning of this year. According to the data of the BTC-ATS correlation matrix (annual), the correlation is 0.63 on January 1, 2025 before it fell to 0.05 by May 22, 2025.

From an investment perspective, this main difference is a reevaluation of strategies based on the correlation between Bitcoin-Terreiium correlation by breaking one of the most consistent patterns of the encryption market. “We are adding uncertainty to investors who can't expect ETH to follow BTC anymore.”
The warm chain analyst said:
Portfolio models, risk strategies and revenue predictions must now be adapted. This can also reflect how Ether Limium is independent by its own internal factors such as protocol upgrades, regulations or defects.
ALEMAN also stated that this change means that ether and assets are high in the bull market. This effect is mainly observed in 2025, when the price of bitcoin has risen, while the value of Altcoin related to ETH and other Etherrium is often stopped or rejected.

At this point, Bitcoin and Ethereum are about $ 107,450 and $ 2,507, respectively. Last week, BTC prices rose more than 5%, while ETH's value rose to less than half of the same period.
