Bitcoin is showing a modest increase today, reaching $103.713, which represents a return of 0,98% over the past 24 hours. However, this is nothing compared to Ethereum, which is up an impressive 8,96% at $2.673. In just seven days, Ethereum has even seen a growth of 46,11%.
Ethereum currently seems to be on a roll, quickly gaining ground on Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market.
The biggest clue to the market recently came from Donald Trump. He stated just days before a major trade deal between the US and China that it was an excellent time to buy US stocks. Statements like this often have a positive effect on the crypto market.
This is also evident, especially for Ethereum, which has seen a strong increase. XRP followed with a nice gain of 20% in the past week.
What makes it even more interesting is that about 12 hours ago, Trump reiterated that the markets are going much higher.
It seems that Trump is supporting the markets with his policies, which may bring us a strong period for Ethereum. This could be the beginning of a bull market for altcoins.
If it were up to Michaël van de Poppe, the trend would be unmistakable: Bitcoin would head towards an all-time high in the next two weeks, and Ethereum would be the best performer in the crypto world.
He points out that it is notable that retail investors often enter the market too late. They usually wait until Bitcoin has reached its all-time high and altcoins have already risen three times before making large purchases.
“It's going to happen, and they're going to get in again at excessively high prices,” Van de Poppe emphasizes.
This suggests that we are on the cusp of a new bull market, one that may continue for some time to come.
Why is Ethereum rising so much compared to Bitcoin?
Ethereum seems to be making rapid gains due to its strong performance and the overall market situation that is currently favorable for altcoins.
What are the expectations for the coming weeks?
Expectations are that Bitcoin will approach its all-time high and that Ethereum will maintain or even further expand its strong position.
Is it a good time to invest in cryptocurrencies?
