ETH Hits Yearly Low Against BTC as Investors Flood Exchanges

It’s safe to say that the world’s largest altcoin has underperformed in recent weeks as each attempt for a breakout was stopped at $2,400, and the subsequent rejection has pushed it further south. What’s particularly worrying is that ETH dipped below the crucial $2,200 support after today’s drop, and its behavior against bitcoin is even more painful.

In fact, the ETH/BTC pair just dropped to a 10-month low at under 0.028. Recall that ETH traded at over 0.042 BTC in September last year, shortly after its all-time high against the greenback, but it has been mostly downhill since then. Popular analyst Ted Pillows said this decline occurred even as Tom Lee’s BitMine continues to spend millions of dollars each week to accumulate more tokens.
