Bitcoin vs. Ethereum: 1-Year Comparison Reveals Massive Performance Gap
Bitcoin has significantly outpaced Ethereum over the past year, but analysts suggest the tables could soon turn.
According to a chart, BTC rose 74%, while ETH declined 28%, creating a large performance gap that now appears stretched.
The data shows that BTC began outperforming Ethereum in mid-2024, and the performance divergence has only grown wider. But with that strength comes risk. Observers say Bitcoin’s dominance is now overextended, while Ethereum has become undervalued, under-owned, and primed for a catch-up phase.
“Rotation season is near,” the post noted—referring to capital rotating out of Bitcoin and into altcoins, especially ETH.
BTC Dominance Stretched as ETH Enters Rebound Territory
The 12-month BTC vs. ETH comparison highlights a clear inflection point when Bitcoin’s outperformance began, followed by a persistent downward trend for ETH. With Ethereum sitting near multi-month lows, the potential for mean reversion and capital reallocation grows stronger.
Historically, such wide gaps between BTC and ETH performance tend to normalize as investor interest in alternative Layer 1 assets resurfaces—especially when macro conditions favor risk rotation.
What to Watch
- ETH dominance may begin to rise if momentum shifts toward undervalued altcoins.
- Bitcoin’s overbought status could spark consolidation, making ETH more attractive.
- Market sentiment, ETF flows, and L2 ecosystem growth could fuel a rebound in Ethereum demand.
With positioning now heavily tilted toward Bitcoin, the stage may be set for Ethereum to narrow the gap in the coming months—potentially kicking off a new altcoin rotation cycle.
