Ethereum's surge toward $4,000 is absolutely destroying other cryptocurrencies right now. If you're holding XRP, Solana (SOL), or any other altcoin, you're probably feeling the pain as these coins get hammered against ETH pairs.
ETH Price Shows Strong Bullish Momentum
Ethereum's chart looks incredible right now – we're seeing a textbook breakout above resistance with serious volume backing it up. The RSI is climbing and ETH is sitting comfortably above all the important moving averages.
Meanwhile, altcoins got wrecked this week, losing another 4% against Ethereum. The TOTAL3/ETH chart showing altcoin performance versus ETH is in complete free fall. If you're holding alts, this is painful to watch.
Why Money's Flowing Into Ethereum (ETH) Over Altcoins
Big institutions are piling into Ethereum because of staking rewards and ETF developments. When smart money moves, everyone follows.
The problem for altcoins? Most have nothing exciting happening – no major updates, no game-changing news. As crypto matures beyond pure speculation, money flows to assets that actually make sense. Right now, that's Ethereum, not random altcoins with big promises but no results.
What This Means for Your XRP, SOL Holdings
If you're holding altcoins, you're missing out even if dollar prices stay flat. While your coin holds at $1, ETH holders are making bank climbing toward $4,000. You're not losing money in dollars, but you're definitely underperforming.
This trend isn't stopping unless altcoins get serious catalysts. If Ethereum breaks $4,000 cleanly, the gap could get even wider. Anyone waiting for "altcoin season" needs to watch ETH dominance closely – if this doesn't flip soon, smaller coins will keep bleeding against Ethereum.
