In my last post quite a while ago, I suggested that we had a bullish bat w/ target 1 $980 & target 2 $1600 (I think around that mark). We never got over the resistance @ 1k.
For a month, ETH crashed harder than BTC. Since the weekend, things have changed a bit. We're seeing that the BTC dump isn't organic, and some quality alts are rising slowly.
In this context, we can also see that ETH is forming is rising wedge (see chart). This could lead to a fall:
1. If bitcoin recovers & rallies, ETH would fall slightly 2. If bitcoin crashes deeper, ETH would be implicated as well
Only if ETHUSD breaks above $870 can we be comfortable about its relative independence from BTC performance (& that's if BTC doesn't crash --- it can rally in this case, IMHO).
