Ethereum’s latest pump-and-dump highlights this about the ETH vs BTC ratio

ambcrypto.com:

Ethereum’s much-anticipated Merge didn’t create the expected fireworks across the board in terms of ETH’s price action. In fact, Ethereum enthusiasts also discussed the ETH:BTC ratio at length in the past in tandem with “the flippening”. A hypothetical event that would see Ethereum overtake or “flip” Bitcoin’s market capitalization.

However, that seems like a far-fetched reality given the current soup ETH has found itself in.

The ETH:BTC ratio, once raging high, seems to have dropped to an extreme-low level as highlighted on Santiment, a famed crypto platform. Herein, ETH’s ‘shark’ and ‘whale’ addresses (holding 100 to 1 million ETH) have dropped 3.3 million ETH in the last five weeks only.

Now the question arises: Has the Ethereum’s shark and whale address accumulation and dumping “foreshadowed” its price movements? Well, certainly looks like the case. Considering the graph give above, Santiment added,

“This equates to about $4.2B in dumped coins. The asset’s price vs. Bitcoin has ebbed and flowed based on behavior of these key stakeholders.”

Overall, the fall was significant, but in order to throw more light on the demise, consider this narrative. When considering the beginning of September 2022, the ETH:BTC ratio climbed to a 2022 high.

Data from TradingView showed that the ETH:BTC ratio reached 0.084 for the first time since December 2021. This meant that the ratio jumped by around 58% from roughly 0.053 in mid-July.

This lead against Bitcoin could be attributed to the hype
