Yesterday Prezzo di EthereumFor the second time in the past two weeks, has tried to surpass that of BitcoinAnd for the second time, the attempt has failed.
In reality, in the first half of May, a very first attempt had succeeded, but it was just a rebound.
The situation has now returned to normal, but many expect other attempts from Ethereum to outdo Bitcoin, and some of them could finally succeed.
Ethereum's suffering: Bitcoin always dominates
THE Prezzo di Ethereum is still in Sofferenza.
At the end of October of last year, he oscillated about $ 2,400, but thanks to the so-called Trump Trade He managed to return to $ 4,000. However, this mini-bulle began to break out already in the second half of December, and from February, it completely broke out.
In fact, to tell the truth, at the end of February, the price of the ETH has even fallen below the $ 2,400 initials, reaching a background in 2025 below $ 1,500.
The problem could have been the strong Solana competitionGiven that, in the past, ETH also benefited, indirectly, from the success of many same on Ethereum, while now the vast majority of the same are launched on Solana.
When Trump announced the launch of his same on Solana in January, Ethereum ended up suffering a little.
Note that the current price of ETH, just above $ 2,600, is not much higher than that of October 2024.
The comparison between Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC)
Instead, the price Bitcoin During the same period, went from less than $ 70,000 to more than $ 100,000.
To get a more precise idea of ​​how much BTC is to outperform EthnIt is useful to analyze the trend over time of the price of Ethereum expressed in bitcoin.
At the end of October, 1 ETH was worth around 0.035 BTC, and with Trump trade, it temporarily increased to 0.040.
The problem is that from mid-December, it had already fallen below 0.035 BTC, and during the month of January, it even fell to 0.030.
So from October to January, Ethereum had underperform Bitcoin.
From February, an additional retirement began, which did not end until in early May, causing Prix ​​from Ethereum to Bitcoin To drop first to 0.027 BTC, then even below 0.020.
The minimum peak of 0.018 BTC reached on April 12 was reached at such a low level that it had not been seen since January 2020.
In light of this, it is obvious that something serious has happened in Ethereum, and it is very likely that the problem is that already mentioned before, namely the very strong competition of Solana in the same sector.
The turning point of Ethereum (ETH)
On May 8, however, there was a turning point.
Not only has the descending phase ended, but there was also a real bull rebound.
In fact, in just three days, the price from Ethereum to Bitcoin returned above the brand of 0.024 BTC, which is still well below 0.035 of October, but significantly higher than the 2025 background.
However, it was only a rebound, and not a restart, so much so that the price of Ethereum in dollars is even more or less at October.
In the past two weeks, however, there have been two attempts to return at least 0.025 BTC.
The first occurred between May 13 and 14 and it failed in just over 24 hours. The second, however, occurred yesterday, and it failed in less than 24 hours.
In the same days, the price of Ethereum in dollars tried twice to exceed $ 2,700. The first time, he did not even manage to rise temporarily, while at least yesterday, he even managed to go up above $ 2,750 for a few hours.
However, these two attempts failed in less than 24 hours.
Forecasts on the cryptography market
Despite this, several analysts believe that Ethereum can possibly manage to return securely above $ 2,700.
In particular, a hypothesis which circulates largely is that which predicts a decrease in the domination of bitcoin.
In October 2024, the domination of Bitcoin was less than 60%. During mini-suisison In November, caused by Trump's trade, it fell 55%, but from December, it started a new ascending phase which first exceeded it 60%, then on May 7, 2025, even above 65%.
Well, on May 8, a slowdown started which not only interrupted the upward trend, but in a few days brought it to 62%.
Thereafter, however, there was a rebound, so much so that it has now returned above 64%, but the upward trend seems to be interrupted.
According to several analysts, it is possible that it will return to 60%, or perhaps even lower, which means that altcoins would surpass bitcoin.
