Ethereum’s Ether Underperforms Compared to Bitcoin: Speculators on the Edge of Panic

Title: Ethereum Speculators on the Edge of Panic as ETH Underperforms Compared to Bitcoin

In a recent newsletter, analytics firm Glassnode highlighted the underperformance of Ethereum’s Ether (ETH) compared to Bitcoin (BTC) this cycle, putting new holders at risk of falling into losses.

Despite both Bitcoin and Ether experiencing downside price action following Bitcoin’s block subsidy halving in April, Ethereum bulls have been hit hard in recent weeks. Glassnode noted that Ethereum’s deepest drawdown of the cycle has been -44%, twice as severe as Bitcoin’s at -21%, indicating Ethereum’s relative underperformance over the past two years.

The newsletter also pointed out that Ethereum’s short-term holders (STHs) are facing potential losses, with their aggregate cost basis at around $3,000, the current trading level of ETH/USD. A drop in the market could prompt panic among these entities, according to Glassnode’s analysis of Ethereum’s market value to realized value (MVRV) metric.

On the other hand, long-term holders (LTHs) of Ethereum appear to be holding onto their positions, waiting for better profit-taking opportunities despite already achieving healthy profit margins. Glassnode suggested that the market is eagerly awaiting signals from United States regulators regarding the fate of spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Overall, the market sentiment for Ethereum remains uncertain, with speculators teetering on the edge of panic as the price of ETH continues to underperform compared to Bitcoin. Investors are advised to conduct their own research and exercise caution when making investment decisions.
