Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin over the past two months, and a new technical signal suggests that relative strength could persist.
CoinDesk reported on August 24 that the ETH/BTC ratio, which measures Ether’s price relative to Bitcoin, has risen about 25% since bottoming on June 6. The move reflects Ethereum’s stronger gains versus Bitcoin since early June.
The ETH/BTC pair has also formed a so-called golden cross, with the 50-day moving average climbing above the 200-day moving average. The pattern indicates short-term price momentum has strengthened relative to the longer-term trend and is typically interpreted as a sign that an uptrend may continue.
