Bitcoin Stalls While Ethereum Heats Up – A Shift in Momentum?

Bitcoin (BTC) is holding steady around \$103,800, showing little movement over the past 24 hours. Despite a brief push toward \$105K, BTC has been stuck near the \$104K zone for nearly a week, signaling possible exhaustion at these levels. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) is quietly stealing the spotlight with a solid 4.8% gain, trading near \$2,636. Traders are starting to shift focus toward altcoins as BTC’s momentum slows, and Ethereum seems to be leading the pack.

The overall crypto market cap also surged 2.7%, touching \$3.4 trillion—its highest point since early February. This suggests growing confidence across the board, especially in Layer 1 ecosystems like ETH. While Bitcoin still sets the tone, Ethereum’s breakout could be the start of an altcoin revival.

Smart money might soon rotate—so if you're all-in on BTC, it might be time to watch ETH closely. The tide could be turning.
