Published by

Ethereum continues to underperform against Bitcoin as traders remain cautious amid regulatory uncertainty surrounding the proposed CLARITY Act. Market sentiment suggests ETH could face additional downside before a potential reversal tied to the bill’s approval, reflecting a possible “sell the rumor, buy the news” setup. Analysts note that Bitcoin previously bottomed during major geopolitical uncertainty, and some traders now expect a similar capitulation phase for Ethereum before stronger accumulation returns.
