Analyst Warns of Massive Ethereum Drop Against Bitcoin

Cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez has raised concerns about Ethereum’s future performance against Bitcoin, suggesting a significant decline could be on the horizon.

Martinez pointed to bearish patterns emerging on Ethereum’s monthly chart compared to Bitcoin.

According to Martinez, Ethereum may experience a sharp drop, potentially losing up to 91% of its value relative to Bitcoin. His analysis, based on an inverted ETH/BTC chart, indicates the formation of a bearish double-top or M pattern. If this pattern plays out, Ethereum’s value could plunge to 0.0020 BTC. Currently, Ethereum is trading at around 0.02205 BTC, equivalent to approximately $1,866.

Martinez also pointed to recent data from crypto analytics platform Santiment, revealing that Ethereum whales have offloaded a substantial amount of ETH in the past two weeks. Around 760,000 ETH, valued at roughly $1.42 billion, has been sold, reflecting a notable reduction in large transactions. Martinez noted that since late February, significant Ethereum transfers have dropped by nearly 64%, indicating a decline in whale activity.

Turning his attention to Bitcoin, Martinez highlighted that the cryptocurrency recently dipped below both the 200-day and 50-day moving averages, which have since become resistance points. He cautioned that if Bitcoin fails to break above the $86,200 and $88,300 levels, it could signal the formation of a “death cross” — a bearish indicator suggesting further downside.

With Ethereum facing potential depreciation against Bitcoin and Bitcoin itself grappling with key resistance levels, investors are closely monitoring these developments. Martinez’s insights suggest caution as both assets navigate challenging technical landscapes.
