Weekly Summary
The crypto market showed strong upward momentum this week, with Ethereum leading the charge:
| Asset | Weekly Change |
|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | +10% |
| Ethereum (ETH) | +40% |
Capital Shift: From BTC to ETH
I began last week to move profits from BTC to ETH on its decline to the $1500 level. This was based on the relative underperformance and breakout potential of Ethereum in the future. The transition was not emotional; Ethereum already had a 32% weighting within my portfolio, which indicates long-term confidence in its upside.
Ethereum Market Structure
In contrast to Bitcoin, which may be near the peak of its present bull cycle, Ethereum is very much within the confines of its last bear market. As I estimate, ETH is forming wave (D) of a triangle pattern. In other words, a period of consolidation may continue before a firm movement occurs. If deeper correction were to happen, I plan to continue purchasing ETH.
Bitcoin Risk Strategy
I currently hold a hedge short on BTC, which will be closed if the asset breaks above its all-time high. This would confirm a continuation of the bull trend. At that point, I’ll wait for the full market structure to complete and lock in the remaining 10% of my position.
Fact of the Week
- Ethereum’s weekly performance beat Bitcoin by 4x — 40% vs. 10%.
- Portfolios with 32% ETH holdings gained the most from the recent rally.
- ETH remains in a triangle pattern, suggesting potential future accumulation.
Conclusion
The week reiterated the function of strategic rotation and patient accumulation. Bitcoin may initiate the cycle, but Ethereum’s structure implies a lagging — and potentially explosive — move. My strategy remains dynamic, with ETH accumulation remaining one of my favorite plays in the future.
FAQ
Why did Ethereum surpass Bitcoin this week?
Ethereum will probably lag behind in early bull cycles and catch up in sharp waves. The +40% gain this week might be a catch-up wave since ETH is gaining traction again.
Is it already too late to join Ethereum?
Not yet. ETH is still in a long-term triangle and not yet broken out. Entering during consolidation can give gigantic upside if breakout indeed occurs.
Do I hold onto Bitcoin?
Yes, if you have a bullish outlook. BTC remains the market leader. However, it may offer slower gains compared to ETH in the current stage of the cycle.
What are the signs of breakout in Ethereum?
A clean breakout above triangle resistance on the ETH/BTC or ETH/USD chart with significant volume would be evidence of an impending breakout situation.
