ETH/BTC Chart Hits 2-Month High: What Analysts Are Saying

Ethereum's ETH/USD three-day price rally has pushed the cryptocurrency’s price past $1,500 and seen it reach a two-month high against Bitcoin BTC/USD.

What Happened: The ETH/BTC trading pair rallied by more than 30% over the last few days, as per data from Benzinga Pro.

Many believe the rally was brought about by Ethereum developer’s floating a tentative date for the Merge, an event marking the blockchain’s much anticipated transition to Proof-of-Stake. 

On Monday, the ETH/BTC pair briefly touched 0.088 before dropping back down to 0.069. Even at this level, the pair appears to have made back three months of downside in three days.
