💥 Ethereum Outpaces Bitcoin — Altcoin Boom Incoming?

Ethereum is outperforming Bitcoin after one week in July. Ethereum outperforming Bitcoin for the second time this year may imply a brighter future for altcoins. According to history, altcoin seasons start with ETH outperforming BTC, so if this continues, one may be coming. Let's examine both assets' performance.

In July, Ethereum has started putting in more green candles, signaling bulls are back. This has resulted to a minor outperformance relative to Bitcoin and may indicate the start of altcoin season.

Ethereum has risen over 2.50% since July, according to CryptoRank.

Ethereum would outperform Bitcoin for the second time in 2025 if this trend continues. First, Ethereum rose 41% in May. This was significant compared to Bitcoin's 11.1% month-end rise.

Ethereum struggles and hovers below $4,800, while Bitcoin reached fresh all-time highs in May. However, Ethereum's gain boosted altcoins like PEPE and BONK by over 100%.

Ethereum has dominated altcoin season before, so its outperformance of Bitcoin at this level is good. If that continues, altcoin prices may rise. Ethereum might reach $4,000 if it increases another 41%.

July is not Ethereum's finest month, with an average return of +5.13%. Over the last decade, the cryptocurrency has had similar numbers of green and red closures in the third quarter. The ETH price's performance this quarter and whether it can overtake Bitcoin are unknown.
