Ethereum Surges 8%, Analysts Split Between Bullish 'Accelerated Phase' And Underperformance Against Bitcoin
Portfolio Pulse from Khyathi Dalal
Ethereum (ETH) has seen an 8% increase week-over-week, with mixed analyst views on its performance against Bitcoin (BTC). While some traders expect ETH to underperform BTC, others anticipate a potential bottom for ETH/BTC due to rumors of an Ethereum ETF approval. The SEC has delayed decisions on ETF proposals from Grayscale and BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust. Bullish factors for Ethereum include increased staking, deflation, less availability on exchanges, and upcoming upgrades like the Dencun Upgrade. Major projects on the Ethereum network are expected to contribute to its growth, and the BTC/ETH correlation has dropped, suggesting a potential divergence in price movements. Ethereum aims to maintain its lead over Solana (SOL), which is seen as a growing competitor.
