Bitcoin and Ethereum are poised to suffer their worst first quarter in years unless they can pull off a huge rally in the next few days.
Ether (ETH) has dropped 37.98% so far over the first quarter of 2025, its worst Q1 decline since 2018, when it plunged 46.61%, according to CoinGlass data. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) is down 6.49% so far over the quarter, which is slated to end on March 31 — marking its worst Q1 performance since 2020, when it saw a 10.83% decline.
Crypto market unlikely to flash green before end quarter
Swyftx lead analyst Pav Hundal told Cointelegraph that a “vertical swing up into the end of the quarter looks unlikely.”
Ether has posted an average return of 78.23% in the first quarter of every year since 2017. Source: <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://www.coinglass.com/today" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"
