Bitcoin and Ethereum are respectively the largest and second largest crypto by market cap. Officially, ETH can be seen as an altcoin, which has historically behaved differently from Bitcoin.
A rise in the ETH/BTC chart generally means that altcoins (=everything which is not BTC) is outperforming Bitcoin on average. The inverse is also true.
However, when we apply the RSI to the ETH/BTC chart we can generally pinpoint the moment of a 'change in market sentiment'. In other words, the market will become volatile after the ETH/BTC chart has become oversold or overbought.
During the bear market, an overbought ETH/BTC has nearly always been the signal for a coming dump. During the bull market, an oversold ETH/BTC has nearly always signaled an upcoming bullish move (scroll left on the chart).
As seen on the chart above, ETH/BTC was severely oversold two weeks ago. With nearly all on-chain metrics saying that the bottom is in, this oversold reading might signal that we're going to see a move up in the near future.
