ETHBTC Analysis 08/05/19Ethereum broke through the 0.02 level, making a new year low at 0.0194. Since the beginning of the year, Ethereum has kept making lower lows and lower highs. Bitcoin dominance keeps growing is now at 67.7% vs 65.5% last week. Bitcoin's pumping phase is not over and sends a clear signal that investors are not yet inclined in transferring some of their funds in bitcoin toward altcoins.
With the federal reserve rate cut and the continuing quantitative easing, we expect risk-appetite to grow among investors on the medium-term.
The stochastic oscillator has bounced back from the oversold zone, showing a crossover. However, volume remains low, therefore any entered position should be done with caution. As ethereum keeps evolving in a strong downtrend, we expect any rebound to be short lived, sellers taking them as advantage to enter.
We expect the downtrend to continue in the near future.
