The first quarter of 2025 has been challenging for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), showing declines that reflect weak market momentum. According to historical quarterly performance data, both cryptocurrencies are experiencing one of their worst Q1 performances since 2022.
In Q1 2025 Bitcoin delivered a -12.71% return which was significantly lower than its +68.68% Q1 2024 performance. During the first quarter of 2025 Ethereum produced one of the largest annual declines with its -44.56% return which ranks as a steep downward trend in recent history.
During Q1 Bitcoin has exhibited inconsistent values since 2018 produced a positive return of +103.17% while 2018 resulted in a significant -49.77% decrease. The Q1 trends for Ethereum show strong fluctuations because the network experienced +518.14% growth in 2017 while experiencing notable negative performance in bearish periods.
Historically BTC and ETH experience positive returns throughout Q2 shown by consistent statistical data from past years. The second quarter of Bitcoin has demonstrated explosive growth through multiple years including a 2019 rise of +159.36% and a 2017 increase of +123.86%. The Q2 performance of Ethereum has shown impressive numbers amounting to +453.71% in 2017 and +102.25% in 2019.
The upcoming quarter in 2025 will feature multiple crucial drivers for both traders and investors to observe such as regulatory movements together with institutional investment growth and larger economic factors. Positive market sentiment would likely lead to a price recovery that mirrored the 2024 Q2 performance where Bitcoin increased by +7.19% and Ethereum +6.29%.
At present Bitcoin maintains a price of $81,430.26 showing a 0.2% decrease whereas Ethereum holds at $1,868.06 representing a 0.7% increase. These numbers indicate a cautious market environment, where buyers and sellers remain uncertain.
The upcoming Q2 period demands convincing fundamental news for market momentum to develop. The historical data shows the possibility of a market recovery. The Q1 downturn for both BTC and ETH depends on external economic forces along with financial market fluctuations.
