πŸ“‰ ETH/BTC Pair Drops to 4-Year Low Amid Bitcoin Surge – What’s Happening?

πŸ“Š $ETH / $BTC Hits Four-Year Low
Ethereum [ETH] continues to struggle against Bitcoin [BTC], as the ETH/BTC pair hit a four-year low at $0.031. Bitcoin's dominance and consistent new highs have overshadowed ETH, raising questions about its future prospects.

πŸš€ Bitcoin’s Dominance Surges
Over the past year, Bitcoin has soared by 144.45%, reaching $101K and a new ATH of $109K. In contrast, Ethereum has gained only 30.27%, trading at $3,219, still 33% below its 2021 ATH of $4,891. ETH’s underperformance has erased all its ETH/BTC gains from the past four years.

πŸ” Why Is ETH Underperforming?
Several factors contribute to ETH’s struggles. Bitcoin has gained favor from institutions and governments, with many adopting BTC reserves. Meanwhile, Ethereum's adoption rate has declined, with new addresses dropping by 9.32%. Its NVT ratio has spiked to 185.5, signaling reduced transaction activity and potential overvaluation concerns.

πŸ“‰ What’s Next for ETH?
With bearish sentiment dominating, ETH could drop further to $3,160. Its MVRV ratio at 0.64 reflects low investor confidence. However, if buyers step in, ETH could reclaim $3,300 and target $4,000, potentially strengthening the ETH/BTC pair to $0.04.
