PK Day | Verdict: $ETH Narrow Win
The referee reveals the cards first
Don't talk to me about profits or losses over these 7 days — both are losing, it's about who loses more gently. Verdict: $ETH Narrow Win. It closed the 7 days at -3.21%, $BTC closed at -4.79%, losing 1.58 percentage points less; risk-adjusted Sharpe ratio $ETH -3.54 also beats $BTC's -7.09. Contract trading requires resilience; in the lesson of "taking fewer hits," $ETH scores this round. That said, $BTC's drawdown of 5.2% is shallower than $ETH's 6.0%, and its volatility at 41.0% is steadier than $ETH's 52.5% — $ETH bounces enthusiastically but falls hard, this "earning ability" comes at the cost of risk.
Report card laid out first
The two normalized curves on the chart both trend downward, crashing together on 10/29 and rallying together on 11/03, with $ETH's line always slightly above $BTC's. Data breakdown: 7-day returns $BTC -4.79% / $ETH -3.21%, maximum drawdown $BTC 5.2% / $ETH 6.0%. On the crash day, $ETH held up better and bounced back stronger — but it also fell deeper; each blade has its edge.
