Ethereum Is Already Outperforming Bitcoin In July, Is Altcoin Season Here?

With one week already gone in the month of July, Ethereum has already begun to perform better than Bitcoin.

While the gap is still very close, the outperformance of Ethereum over Bitcoin for only the second time this year could signal the entrance of better things for the altcoin market.

If this continues, then an altcoin season might be on the horizon, as historical data shows it always begins with ETH outperforming BTC.

So, let’s take a look at how both assets have been performing.

Ethereum Barrels Ahead Of Bitcoin In July So far, in the month of July, the Ethereum price has been putting in more green candles, suggesting that bulls are making their move again.

This has led to a small outperformance when compared to the Bitcoin price over this time period and could be the signal that altcoin season could be starting soon.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price, while having seen some price increases, is up only 1.20% at the time of this writing.

Thus, Ethereum is already performing better in the month of July.

If this outperformance continues, then this would be only the second time that the Ethereum price will be doing better than the Bitcoin price so far in 2025. The first was back in May, when the Ethereum price rallied by over 41% in one month.

This was major compared to Bitcoin’s 11.1% move in that month.

However, while the Bitcoin rally in the month of May saw its price reach new all-time highs, Ethereum continues to struggle and remains below its $4,800 all-time high levels.

 Nevertheless, Ethereum’s rally did translate to bullishness for the altcoin market as the likes of PEPE and BONK rallied by more than 100% in response to this.

If it continues, then the altcoin market could start to see further increases in price.

And if Ethereum rises another 41% from here, it would put it right on the path to $4,000. However, the month of July has not historically been the best month for Ethereum, with an average return of +5.13%.

The whole of the third quarter of the year is also a mixed bag for the altcoin, with an equal number of green and red closes over the last decade.

Thus, it remains to be seen how the ETH price will perform this quarter and if it can successfully outpace Bitcoin.
