Ethereum reaches three-year low against Bitcoin due to widespread selling pressure.
Ethereum declined against Bitcoin, reaching its lowest level in three years due to the turmoil that ensued after Bitcoin’s drop from $70,000 over the weekend. The ETH–BTC chart dipped to as low as 0.0462 BTC on Saturday, April 13, marking a 24% decrease from the year-to-date peak of 0.085 BTC.

Ethereum’s peak against Bitcoin occurred in 2017 when it reached 0.16 BTC, before ending that year at levels similar to the current situation, around 0.048 BTC. It subsequently hit lows near 0.018 BTC in late 2019 before experiencing a significant rise during the 2020 – 2021 bull market.

The cycle peak of 0.088 BTC was followed by a consistent decline throughout 2023, 2022, and 2024. The 0.05 BTC mark had served as a lower support level until it was breached this month. Although the price remains within 7% of this support, it has been nearly three years since these price levels were observed.

Bitcoin dropped from $70,000 to $61,700 over the weekend before recovering to $66,000. However, Bitcoin has retested $61,700 again and is trading around $62,000 as of the latest update. Ethereum initially mirrored Bitcoin’s decline from $3,600 to $2,800 but has since stabilized around the $3,000 level, assisting its competitive positioning against Bitcoin.

While the broader cryptocurrency market typically mirrors Bitcoin’s movements, a significant portion of the altcoin market tends to follow Ethereum. The ETH-BTC chart plays a crucial role in the intricate relationship between digital asset price fluctuations, making it a fundamental aspect of the industry. Bitcoin dominance, another vital metric, reached a three-year high this weekend, hitting 57%, while Ethereum dominance fell to just 15% from a recent peak of 19%.
