ETH/BTC Bullish Reversal Fails Midway
On April 11, the ETH/BTC pair fell nearly 1.6% to 0.0634 BTC to retest multi-month lows.
The ETH/BTC level is down 6.75% from its local peak of 0.0679 BTC set six days ago. It is also just 2% above the pair’s local low of 0.0622 BTC on March 20, showing that Ether’s bullish reversal attempt against Bitcoin is close to failure.

Another ETH price bounce attempt ahead?

Like the uptrend line support, the 200-week EMA was instrumental in halting Ether’s price decline against Bitcoin in July 2022. This makes it the most likely downside target in the coming months. .
