Yashu Gola9 hours agoEthereum losing streak vs. Bitcoin hits 15 months — Can ETH price reverse course?Bitcoin ETF and halving buzz have boosted BTC"s demand compared to Ethereum in recent weeks.2625 Total views4 Total sharesListen to article 0:00Market AnalysisJoin us on social networksThe price of Ethereum"s native token, Ether (ETH), is trading around a 15-month low versus Bitcoin (BTC), and the lowest since Ethereum switched to proof-of-stake (PoS).


Will it continue to weaken for the remainder of 2023? Let"s take a closer look at the charts. Ethereum price breaks below critical support vs. Bitcoin


The ETH/BTC pair dropped to as low as 0.056 BTC earlier this week. In doing so, the pair broke below its 200-week exponential moving average (200-week EMA; the blue wave) near 0.058 BTC, raising downside risks further into 2023.


The 200-week EMA has historically served as a reliable support level for ETH/BTC bulls. For instance, the pair rebounded 75% three months after testing the wave support in July 2022. Conversely, it dropped over 25% after losing the same support in October 2020.ETH/BTC weekly price chart. Source: TradingView


ETH/BTC stares at similar selloff risks in 2023 after losing its 200-week EMA as support. In this case, the next downside target looks to be around its 0.5 Fib line near 0.051 BTC in 2023, down about 9.5% from current price levels.


Conversely, ETH price may rebound toward its 50-week EMA (the red wave) near 0.065 BTC if it reclaims the 200-week EMA as support.Bitcoin bull case overshadows Ethereum


Ethereum"s persistent weakness versus Bitcoin is reflected in institutional capital flow data. 


For instance, as of Oct. 6, Bitcoin-specific investment funds had attracted $246 million year-to-date (YTD), according to CoinShares. On the other hand, Ethereum funds have lost capital, witnessing outflows worth $104 million in the same period.Net flows into crypto funds (by asset). Source: CoinShares


The discrepancy is likely due to growing buzz about a potential spot Bitcoin exchange-traded product (ETF) approval in the U.S.


Trade pundits argue that a spot Bitcoin ETF launch will attract $600 billion. In addition, Bitcoin"s fourth halving on April 24, 2024, is also acting as a tailwind versus the altcoin market.

The halving will reduce the Bitcoin miners" block reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, a bullish case based on historical precedent that cuts new supply in half.
