A widely followed crypto analyst says that smart contract platform Ethereum ( ETH ) appears close to bottoming out against Bitcoin ( BTC ). In a new video update, crypto strategist Benjamin Cowen tells his 877,000 YouTube subscribers that the ETH/BTC pair will likely find its cycle low under 0.017 ($2,181) sometime near the end of the year. “ETH/BTC market cap ratio is getting pretty close to the lows…I think there is a decent chance that it will bottom out.” However, according to Cowen, if the US Federal Reserve were to cease its monetary policy of quantitative tightening, the ETH/BTC pair would immediately bottom out. Quantitative tightening is when central banks shrink their budgets to reduce the amount of money circulation in the economy as a means of countering inflation. “If the Fed were to end quantitative tightening, that could very well mark the bottom for ETH/BTC right now… I don’t really expect it to go higher until quantitative tightening is over, at least not in a durable fashion. That doesn’t mean [ETH/BTC] can’t bounce around but I just wouldn’t expect that until quantitative tightening is over. What’s likely going to happen at some point is whenever quantitative tightening ends, it’ll likely get a rally back up to the bull market support band.” In June 2022, the Federal Reserve announced that it would reduce its balance sheet. ETH/BTC is trading for 0.0264 ($2,227) at time of writing, a 3.2% decrease from the previous 24 hours.
