He said so after spotting a recent shift in the BTC\/ETH ratio.<\/p>\n<p>In detail, BTC\/ETH compares the trend momentum of Bitcoin and Ether. A lower reading suggests that the Bitcoin price is rising slower than Ethereum&#8217;s. Conversely, a higher BTC\/ETH ratio indicates that the Bitcoin price momentum is gaining an edge over Ethereum. <\/p>\n<p>Of late, Ethereum <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared like a heightened version of Bitcoin. When the BTC\/USD exchange rate spiked, the ETH\/USD exchange rate rallied but with higher margins. Similarly, when BTC\/USD went down, ETH\/USD plunged more.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-06\/26a47dd3-ba03-4088-98ea-3395f156d8de.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Bitcoin vs. ETH price comparison on same percentage scale. Source: TradingView.com<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The difference in price momentum sent the BTC\/ETH ratio declining inside a descending channel range. In doing so, the ratio offered traders a way to gauge which token \u2014 Bitcoin or Ether \u2014 would return better profits in terms of short-term relative strength momentum. Lifshitz weighed:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At the current level, the ratio suggests that BTC is underpriced vs. ETH, so an astute trader may buy Bitcoin and sell Ethereum in the same dollar proportions, betting on the potential upcoming bounce of the ratio from the lower channel bound toward the upper channel bound, and then revert later when the ratio gets close again to the upper bound.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ratio_flattening_after_Musk-led_crash\"><\/span>Ratio flattening after Musk-led crash<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The comparison between Bitcoin and Ether price momentums came as the Federal Reserve officials announced Wednesday that they expect to start raising interest rates in 2023, earlier than the previous forecast of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin and Ethereum&#8217;s first reaction to the Fed <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> was negative. The BTC\/USD exchange rate closed the day 4.51% lower, while ETH\/USD went down by 6.91%. In comparison, on May 19, after Elon Musk launched a tweet war against Bitcoin, BTC\/USD had fallen 14.29% and ETH\/USD by 27.61%.<\/p>\n<p>The readings pointed that the dramatic difference between Bitcoin and ETH price momentums started flattening after the May 19 crash. Lifshitz called it as yet another sign that Bitcoin would become more valuable than Ether.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He said:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Over the last 3 weeks, the ratio of BTC\/ETH relative prices seems flat and if we take a closer look at the last few days, the ratio is getting higher, meaning that BTC tends to become more valuable than ETH.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-06\/bd2221ae-d694-4895-806b-433d06f48827.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u00a0The BTC\/ETH ratio relative prices go flat upon testing the channel&#8217;s lower range<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Meanwhile, Lifshitz reminded that the BTC\/USD ratio&#8217;s relief bounce would do little in offsetting the descending channel pressure. Therefore, the ratio may continue to head lower after it tests the channel&#8217;s upper range.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitcoin_Ether_trade_setups\"><\/span>Bitcoin, Ether trade setups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The scale of Bitcoin and Ether&#8217;s next trends \u2014 whether upside or downside \u2014 depends on their idiosyncratic technical and fundamental factors.<\/p>\n<p>Lifshitz said Bitcoin, which remains range-stuck between $33,000 and $39,000-40,000 area, would need to break above $42,000 to confirm a short-term bearish bias. In doing so, the benchmark cryptocurrency could rise to $50,000, a level coinciding with the local bottoms of\u00a0April 26 and May 12.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-06\/923655a6-6d21-4684-be16-f15f18a95d49.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Bitcoin volume surged after May 19 crash even though BTC remained clueless about the next price direction.

Meanwhile,\u00a0Dip buyers and institutional investors such as MicroStrategy would provide further upside tailwinds to the $50K-price target.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And of course in the middle of this battle between bulls and bears, there\u2019s Elon Musk tweet-factory, being one time supportive of Bitcoin, one time not, which shakes the price each time,&#8221; Lifshitz reminded.<\/p>\n<p>As for Ethereum, Lifshitz expected the cryptocurrency to surge to $2,850 in the coming sessions. It is the same level that ETH hit before popping up higher on May 3; meanwhile, it also served as resistance as ETH attempted to recover fully from its May 19 price bottom.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2021-06\/ac8c4be3-bd81-4a9a-9267-7e83312657e2.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Ether volumes remained more or less the same after May 19 crash.\u00a0Chart by ExoAlpha<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ethereum bulls continued to grapple with a symmetrical triangle indicator on the flip side and its tendency to send prices further lower.

While BTC\/USD reported higher trading volumes after the May 19 price crash, Ethereum&#8217;s were more or less the same.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This comforts the potential reverse of power between Bitcoin and Ether,&#8221; Lifshitz stressed.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
