$BTC vs $ETH One-Week Earning Ability Comparison
In this round, $ETH has thoroughly outperformed $BTC, no denying it. Over the past 7 days, $BTC dropped 3.31%, while $ETH only fell 2.26%. Both lost money, but $ETH lost with more dignity—after bottoming out on 8/10, it climbed steadily for three consecutive days, whereas $BTC was still struggling in the mud. The Sharpe ratio crushes it: $BTC at -17.63 means "money spent, pain endured," while $ETH at -5.21 is at least "a loss with value." In short: this round is about who can endure better, and $ETH wins.
Comparing Returns and Drawdowns
Looking at the curves: on 8/9, both took a dive, with $ETH falling harder than $BTC (97.45 vs 98.58), but after hitting a solid bottom at 1852 on 8/10, $ETH immediately bounced back, recovering 1.5% in one day on 8/11; $BTC? It kept sliding down, hitting a 7-day low on 8/13. Drawdowns are roughly the same (3.4% vs 3.3%), but "falling and bouncing back" versus "falling and staying down" are two different species.
