Bitcoin, though also correcting, saw a smaller decline below 15%. This reflects a broader trend in the crypto market where inflows and interest went toward Bitcoin and a few altcoins, leaving Ethereum struggling to regain momentum. Ethereum’s Underperformance Vs. Bitcoin In Q1


Bitcoin began Q1 on a notably bullish trajectory due to increasing institutional interest and strong inflows into Spot Bitcoin ETFs, a combination which pushed the price to a new all-time high of $108,786 on January 20. This price marked the peak of a steady upward movement that has placed Bitcoin firmly in the spotlight since October 2023. 


However, a pronounced downtrend followed this peak, particularly in March, when the Bitcoin price dipped below $80,000 for the first time since November 2024. An already struggling Ethereum pricefared much worse and broke below a strong support of $1,900.


Bitcoin has shown resiliencesince this break, bouncing back above $83,000 and even recently touching $87,000. On the other hand, Ethereum continues to trade below $1,900 and is now at risk of losing $1,800and breaking below.


According to data from Cryptorank, Ethereum closed Q1 2025 with a 45.3% decrease from its quarterly open. This marks the second-worst Q1 performance for Ethereum, behind a 47.5% decline in Q1 2018. Bitcoin, on the other hand, ended Q1 2025 with an 11.7% decrease from its opening price.

Ethereum’s decline has been amplified by a visible drop in trading interest and inflows even in Spot Ethereum ETFs. Most of the attention has been on Bitcoin, with Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP taking the mostsignificant share of interest in the altcoin market. 


Nonetheless, many crypto analysts are still bullish on Ethereum and are on the outlook of a bounce as it is now nearing a bottomaround $1,800.

This outlook is based on this level, which acted as resistance in the 2022 bear market and is expected to flip to become support. Another analyst (Crypto Fella) noted thata reversal at this point “would be very good for alts,” suggesting a possible broader market recovery for altcoins if Ethereum finds solid footing here.
