Both $BTC and $ETH are crypto giants, but their trends and roles differ significantly.

Price & Market Performance

BTC: ~$114,489.64, +0.33% (24h), market cap ~$2.27T. Holding above $112K support, with resistance at $118K-$120K

ETH: ~$2,800, +7% (24h), market cap ~$325.42B. Rebounded from $1,400 lows, eyeing $3,000 resistance. Strong ETF inflows (+$1.85B vs. BTC’s +$72.06M this week) signal growing investor interest.

Market Trends & Sentiment

BTC: More stable, less volatile (7.38% vs. ETH’s 16.53% volatility). Institutional adoption (e.g., MicroStrategy’s 240,000+ BTC) and ETF inflows bolster its dominance (48.3% of crypto market). Bearish short-term signals (RSI 35.58, bearish divergence) but bullish long-term due to halving cycles.

ETH: Outperforming BTC recently (ETH/BTC ratio rising). Dencun upgrade (2024) boosted scalability, driving Layer-2 adoption. Higher risk/reward with DeFi and NFT exposure but faces gas fee volatility.

BTC: Safer bet for stability and long-term wealth preservation. Ideal for institutional investors and those prioritizing scarcity. Watch $112K support for downside risks.

$ETH : Higher growth potential but riskier due to volatility and network complexity. Suited for those bullish on Web3 and DeFi. Monitor $3,000 resistance for upside.
