Ethereum To Overtop Bitcoin Soon, Claims Analyst

On Sep 27, 2022

It appears as if the bulls have finally been successful in overtaking the bears as the overall crypto market is flashing green. The world’s first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin has reclaimed the $20,000 level, leading the crypto market for a surge to the top.

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin is selling at $20,212 after a surge of 6.59% over the last 24hrs. The immediate resistance for the asset lies at $20,300 while the near support is around the $19,000 area. Meanwhile, Ethereum is trading at $1,385 with a leg up of 6.49% in the last day.

A well-known crypto analyst and trader, anonymously known as Altcoin Sherpa, is predicting that Ethereum (ETH) will outperform Bitcoin (BTC) while giving his price targets for XRP and two other altcoins.

ETH/BTC Pair

Altcoin Sherpa informs his 183,500 followers over Twitter that the ETH/BTC pair will surge from its current levels near the 200-day moving average.

Looking at the analyst’s chart above, Ethereum has a good chance to outperform Bitcoin. Currently, ETH/BTC pair is valued at $0.068 BTC.

XRP Price Analysis

The analyst appears bearish toward XRP, Ripple’s native currency. He says there is a gap witnessed between the earlier price and the current exponential moving average (EMA) while XRP tests 200-day EMA.

However, the analyst asserts that if the Bitcoin price decided to move upward, the above prediction will flip.

$XRP: Testing the 200D EMA but given there was such a large gap between previous price and the EMA, I don’t expect this to break to the upside. I think we see a bit more consolidation before this goes lower. If btc recovers, disregard that idea. #Ripple pic.twitter.com/gu5c0C1jgO

Algorand (ALGO) Price Analysis

The next altcoin that has caught the trader’s attention is Algorand (ALGO), which is also Ethereum’s rival. For ALGO, the strategist predicts a downward pull and claims $0.35 or lower as the area to buy.

ALGO is currently trading at $0.36 with an upswing of 2.63% in the last day.
