ETH Lags Behind – Solana Steals the Spotlight?
Ethereum (ETH) has rebounded to $1,600, gaining 10% on the day — but don’t let the green candle fool you. This recovery comes after a brutal multi-month decline of over 50% in 90 days, and nearly 55% in one year. Compared to BTC’s bounce and strength, ETH looks significantly weaker.
ETH Underperforms Across All Timeframes
• 7D: -15.8%
• 30D: -20.7%
• 90D: -51.8%
• 1Y: -54.6%
• Massive underperformance vs BTC and even some altcoins
Solana Rising While ETH Stalls
As ETH struggles, Solana (SOL) is gaining momentum. Faster transaction speeds, lower gas fees, and a thriving ecosystem of DeFi + NFTs make Solana increasingly attractive to both retail and institutional players.
The narrative is shifting — not just a price rotation, but a structural power shift in Layer 1 dominance.
What to Watch
• ETH under $1,700 = long-term weakness remains
• SOL/ETH ratio climbing = more rotation ahead
• Layer 2 narrative hasn’t stopped ETH bleeding
Conclusion
ETH is losing ground — in both price and relevance. If this trend continues, Solana could emerge as the new Layer 1 leader, especially if Ethereum fails to deliver meaningful scaling or innovation in the near term.
