<p>Ethereum (ETH), despite being the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/why-is-crypto-market-surging-bitcoin-racing-toward-the-new-ath/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">most-traded altcoin</a>, hasn’t quite lived up to investors' hopes recently. While Bitcoin (BTC) surged over 8% in recent days, edging closer to its all-time high (ATH) above $73,000, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/market-price-prediction-ethereum-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ethereum’s price </a>has remained locked in a symmetrical triangle pattern—an ongoing trend since the August 5 crypto market crash.</p>   
<p>With a market valuation of about $321 billion and an average daily trading volume around $21 billion, Ethereum still shows signs of a potential bullish move in the near term. Ether's value against Bitcoin has been retesting a critical support trend line, while BTC’s dominance in the market is reaching a resistance level near 60%.</p>   
<p>What a peculiar pattern! Can we make any sense of this? </p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ether-faces-stiff-competition">Ether Faces Stiff Competition </h2>   
<p>Ethereum’s network adoption has faced challenges from fast-rising competitors like Solana (SOL), Toncoin (TON), and <a href="https://coinpedia.org/beginners-guide/binance-smart-chain-bsc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Binance Smart Chain (BSC). </a></p>   
<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/solana-outperforms-ethereum-despite-10-price-drop/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coinpedia recently reported</a> that Solana’s on-chain activity has been far surpassing Ethereum’s, largely due to Solana’s growing meme coin ecosystem, which has brought in more users and transactions.</p>   
<p>On-chain data reveals that Ethereum is currently seeing lower demand from major investors, or “whales,” when compared to Bitcoin and other key competitors. For instance, the U.S. spot Ether ETF saw around $7.6 million in inflows on Tuesday, a stark contrast to Bitcoin’s $870 million during the same period.</p>

<p>Crypto analyst Alan Santana believes Ethereum is currently a stronger investment option than Bitcoin, citing historical cycles. Santana argues that Bitcoin appears more overbought than Ethereum, suggesting that Ethereum may offer a better risk-to-reward balance.</p>   [post_titles_links postid="373938"]   
<p>However, Santana emphasizes that Ethereum’s price needs to consistently close above the $2,800–$2,900 resistance range to confirm a bullish breakout. If Ethereum’s price moves above $2,800 in the coming weeks, the next key target could be its all-time high near $5,000.</p>
