Bitcoin Leads, Ethereum Follows: Will History Repeat This Bull Run?
During the 2020 bull run, Bitcoin (BTC) reached its all-time high (ATH) of $20,000 while Ethereum (ETH) lagged behind, trading at just $600. When BTC surged to $42,000 (more than doubling its previous ATH), ETH gained momentum and broke its previous ATH of $1,400. Historically, Bitcoin has always led the market during bull runs, with altcoins like ETH following once BTC enters a long consolidation period.
This pattern seems to be repeating. When BTC recently hit a new ATH of $73,000, ETH was trading at $3,200. If BTC begins another consolidation phase at 100k, we can expect Ethereum to push towards a new ATH, alongside strong bullish moves in other altcoins. As history shows, Bitcoin's consolidation often serves as a catalyst for Ethereum and altcoin rallies.
