The Ongoing Saga: Ethereum vs. Bitcoin
In the crypto ring, it’s another round of Ethereum’s Ether (ETH) getting knocked down by Bitcoin (BTC). For the fifth consecutive day, ETH has faced the wrath of its older sibling, as BTC surged past the $30,000 mark—a level it hadn’t seen since June 2022. Talk about a glow-up!
ETH/BTC Bullish Reversal: A False Start?
Well, folks, it seems like the anticipated bullish reversal for the ETH/BTC pair hit a speed bump. On April 11, the Ether/BTC pair took a tumble, dropping nearly 1.6% to a low of 0.0634 BTC. That’s right, back to the drawing board!
Just six days prior, ETH had peaked at 0.0679 BTC, but it appears that our brave hero fell victim to market gravity once more. Currently, it’s only sitting a mere 2% above its local low of 0.0622 BTC from March 20. Can someone get this token a map? It keep losing its way!
Institutional Interest: Where’s the Love?
In a startling twist, it appears that institutional investors have picked their favorite child—guess who? That’s right, Bitcoin. According to a *CoinShares* report, Bitcoin-focused investment funds welcomed a whopping $56 million in inflows for the week ending April 7. Meanwhile, Ethereum could barely muster a measly $600,000. Ouch!
This lack of enthusiasm comes just as Ethereum was gearing up for its much-hyped Shanghai hard fork. On paper, it sounds majestic, but in the world of institutional finance, it appears our dear ETH is just not top of mind.
The Trendline Tug-of-War
As ETH/BTC wrestles with its past, the price is now precariously close to retesting its multi-month ascending trendline support around 0.0635 BTC. Will this be the bounce that ETH needs to shoot up towards the descending trendline resistance at approximately 0.0750 BTC? A potential 16.5% rally awaits if the stars align! But remember, the crypto world is as predictable as a cat on catnip.
Potential Scenarios: Glimmer of Hope or Dismal Doom?
Looking ahead, analysts are optimistic about the potential for ETH to mimic its performance back in July 2022, when it rallied after a similar test of support. Back then, ETH made an impressive comeback, swelling by about 60% before hitting some resistance.
However, don’t throw away those raincoats just yet! If ETH breaks below that precious ascending trendline support, it could plummet towards its 200-week EMA (currently hovering around 0.0563 BTC), which could mean a 10% drop. Not the sunny day the crypto community was hoping for!
