BTC vs ETH Money-Making Ability Comparison, 2026-10-04 | Issue 24, PK Day | Verdict $BTC
Scoreboard first
This round $BTC wins, no suspense: 7-day window return +2.93% vs $ETH's +1.47%, max drawdown 0.5% vs 1.4%, Sharpe 8.76 vs 4.73, contract OI net inflow 684 million vs 176 million, all four cards stacked in favor. Last issue the scoreboard just voted for $ETH, praising its stability and capital attraction, three days later $BTC's big bullish candle on 10/04 directly overturned the table, what does it mean? It means the tide has turned, the steady image can't be relied on, it still depends on whose wallet is moving. This round $ETH longs are more expensive, the average fee rate 0.0055% is higher than $BTC's 0.0046%, and the key is it hasn't achieved a painless effect: paid more rent but didn't get the meat.
Return situation: one big bullish candle decides
Over 7 trading days, $BTC rose from 83,624 to 86,079, a +2.93% return, with the big bullish candle on 10/04 contributing more than half; $ETH during the same period moved from 2,677 to 2,716, +1.47%, all accumulated by small steps.
