Trading legend John Bollinger discusses Bitcoin’s surge over Ethereum and the possibility of mean reversion.
Bitcoin’s Performance Against Ethereum
Bitcoin (BTC) has significantly outperformed Ethereum (ETH) recently, nearly doubling its gains over the leading altcoin. Trading expert John Bollinger suggests that Bitcoin’s rally could either continue or eventually revert to the long-term mean.
Mean Reversion Theory in Play
Bollinger referenced the mean reversion theory, which suggests that extreme price movements eventually return to their average levels. He stated, “Mean reversion anyone, or are we talking moon here?” indicating uncertainty about BTC’s continued dominance over ETH.
Ethereum’s Multi-Year Decline
Ethereum has struggled against Bitcoin, reaching a multi-year low on February 3. The ETH/BTC pair has dropped another 23.5% in 2025 after already losing 34% in 2024. Unless Ethereum experiences a sharp rebound, it is on track for its fourth consecutive year in the red.
Ethereum Foundation’s Strategic Moves
Despite ETH’s decline, the Ethereum Foundation is ramping up its involvement in the DeFi space. It is also bringing in fresh talent as part of a broader strategic overhaul, signaling efforts to strengthen Ethereum’s position in the market.
Will Ethereum Reverse Its Losing Streak?
Bollinger previously predicted ETH’s struggle to keep up with Bitcoin’s rally, which proved accurate as Ethereum’s decline worsened. Whether ETH can stage a comeback remains uncertain, but investors are watching closely for any signs of a shift in momentum.
