Recently, the cryptocurrency market resembles two brothers with contrasting personalities—Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)—sitting on a roller coaster, chatting while bouncing around. Their story is more dramatic than a TV series!
Bitcoin: The Stubborn "Big Brother"
"I'm a bit tired lately, but I haven't given up yet!" Bitcoin stands with hands on hips at the $95,000 step, grumbling. This big brother has been hovering around this step for almost a month, sweating under the "pressure ceiling" of $10k above, while the "floor" of $916,000 below is constantly being sawed off by shorts. However, what he has in his pocket is quite solid—Bitcoin inventory on exchanges has hit a six-year low, with 75% of the old pals holding onto their coins and refusing to sell. Miners, although complaining that "electricity costs are too high!", have only reduced their hash rate by 10%, much like a middle-aged man who stubbornly refuses to admit failure in losing weight.
Uncle Fed has recently taken to scaring people: "Inflation has dropped, but I might not lower interest rates!" This has sent the dollar index soaring, and Bitcoin ETF funds are scrambling to escape. But the big brother quietly says, "Wait until Uncle Fed hands out candy (lowers interest rates), plus I’m going to 'halve' my production this year—let's see who laughs last!"
Ethereum: The Anxious "Techie"
Next door, Ethereum is squatting in the corner at $2,700, clutching a computer and mumbling, "What happened to the promised surge after the ETF certification?" This genius programmer has lost a few more hairs recently—although the little brothers of Layer 2 (like the Base chain) have cut transaction fees by 70%, and the DeFi treasury has piled back to $60 billion, the mainnet is so quiet you can hear the Gas fees yawning (5 Gwei). Even more disheartening is that the excitement in the NFT market has been overshadowed by Meme coins and PI coins, and even the beloved pixel cat avatars are not selling.
However, the techie also has his spring! 26% of ETH is locked in staking vaults, and whales have secretly hoarded 6% of the goods. He gleefully mutters, "When the ETF takes off, and I create smart contracts that can converse with AI, you'll know who the top player in blockchain is!"
The Brothers' Worries and Hopes
"Recently, there are always people trying to stir up trouble!" Bitcoin frowns and complains: the German government suddenly sold off, Mt. Gox creditors want ransom, and the altcoin little brothers are playing acrobatics with "99% crashes" at any moment. Ethereum adjusts his glasses and adds, "And that brother called Coinbase is being targeted by the SEC, making everyone anxious…"
But in the quiet of the night, they gaze at the starry sky and dream: if the Fed really starts to hand out money, if the flood of ETFs breaks the dam, if AI suddenly falls in love with blockchain… "At that time," Bitcoin pats Ethereum, "I'll shoot for $200,000, and you’ll break $10,000, and we’ll treat the entire crypto circle to hot pot!"
Now you ask what to do? The big brother's bottom line is that $92,000 must not be breached, and the techie's bottom line is that $2,300 must not be lost. If they really take a tumble—Bitcoin falls below $60,000, and Ethereum drops below $1,300—remember to bring a safety net, because these two guys always fall down to jump higher!
