The BTC-ETH pair might need the rest of the year to fully play out this scenario, but there's a solid case building here.



Looking at the chart, we've seen euphoria peak and a complacency shoulder form—classic market structure. What's next? The anger phase. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean Bitcoin needs to collapse. It could just mean Ethereum outperforming on the upside instead, or simply holding its ground better while BTC faces headwinds.

The relative strength story between these two is worth watching closely over the coming months.
BTC0.79%

Ah, here we go again with that cycle theory. I just want to know when the real anger phase will come, or do I have to wait until next year (laugh).

Wait, so the logic is that ETH can beat BTC? That doesn't seem quite right to me. Historically, how many times has such a reversal been successful...

ETH, does it feel like it's about to turn around this time? I'm optimistic about this narrative.

If I had known that ETH is so resilient, why the hell would I go all-in on BTC?

Hmm... So ETH is going to reverse and kill, right? I'm just waiting to see how BTC will hold up in this round.

The market still needs to be observed for a few more months, but if ETH can really withstand BTC's downward pressure this time, I will believe it.

Wait, are you saying ETH might turn around? Then my BTC is going to get hammered...

Wait, is the "anger phase" really coming? Or are we just storytelling again... I think ETH's resilience at this point is much stronger than BTC. Let's wait and see.
