**Ethereum's Struggles: Buy the Dip or Wait for a Reversal?**
Since its launch nearly a decade ago, Ethereum has only outperformed Bitcoin for about 15% of all trading days, according to recent analysis by James Check. Data shows that while Ether had a few bursts of outperformance, particularly in its early years from 2015 to mid-2017, Bitcoin has consistently held the upper hand in the past five years.
On April 9, 2025, the ETH/BTC ratio fell to a five-year low of 0.018, signaling Ethereum’s persistent struggles in comparison to Bitcoin. The last time this ratio dipped below this level was in December 2019 when ETH was trading as low as $125 while Bitcoin stood at around $7,000. Fast-forward to today, and Ethereum has lost all the gains from the last seven years, plummeting 10% in just 24 hours to below $1,450. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has faced a smaller decline, dropping 6% to $75,000, which is still 275% higher than its peak during the 2017 bull market.
Despite its recent downturn, the question remains: Is now the time to buy the dip in Ethereum, or should investors wait for clearer signs of a reversal? While Bitcoin’s resilience is evident, Ethereum’s future could hinge on upcoming technological upgrades or shifts in market sentiment. If you're considering entering or adding to your crypto portfolio, the current market conditions certainly offer a compelling, albeit risky, opportunity. However, cautious optimism might be the best approach, as the market remains highly volatile.
