It's still going down , will it increase in the next weeks/months or it will keep declining?

If bitcoin will keep pumping like right now than that ratio might keep dropping because people will be wiling to sell their ETH for bitcoin and get maximum out of their ETH in terms of fiat.

If you have some ETH than its better to wait for next few days or weeks when there will be some correction in bitcoin's price, when bitcoin will correct alts-btc pair will pump.

I find it odd that eth and xrp are the only top Alts still falling vs bitcoin. How low can they go?

it sucks because it's the only 2 crypto monney i own (eth and XRP).. i should have kept my BTC. went from 1 btc to 0.65 btc... thousands of $ lost here

Same here 10's of thousands lost

Don't worry even if you have lost thousands of dollars. Just remember to hold and sell with profit later when it pumps. Still it is odd why xrp and eth are the only top coins that are tanking. Maybe it is not merely caused by btc rising. Rather it was caused by a greater power at work here. As to how far they can go I think they wouldn't drop that far and for this reason it is a very good time to invest in them. I am sure that soon it will go up.

Usually whenever Bitcoin price is being corrected, Altcoin prices fall more than Bitcoin. That why that ratio has fallen. Now Bitcoin price is rising gradually, In my opinion there is a high probability that Ethereum price in BTC will also rise in coming days.  

The real concerns is that all the other top alts have been rising vs bitcoin but eth and xrp are losing big time!

I do not think there is exactly causality between them. Because the cost of Etheruem can rise or fall as bitcoin rises. So I do not think it's right to say anything definite.

No, just remember when it was about 0,12 each ethereum a few months ago. It is never going to be the same, because bitcoin has increased much more than ethereum during the last time.

It might be dropping to 0.03 if bitcoin decides to go up a little bit more.

Ethereum has been increasing too, but it is not following the real pattern of bitcoin, and that is the reason of why the btc/eth price has been dropping like water from a cascade.

Poor of those people who bought ethereum with bitcoins when it was 0.12 each eth. What a huge loss.

Even ETH's fork ETC is up 100% gain on ETH this month! To me eth is suffering.

Keep both coins until you see your investment grow more than 10x. If you see that then you are in the clear zone.

I know it can be difficult to keep holding for the long term with such losses but that is the only option you have left because if you sell now you are only going to confirm your losses, so hold to your coins at some point things are going to get better.

if you are doing the more research about ethereum and it is the only coin that follows the bitcoin right now. If the bitcoin gets another pump and the ethereum will try to correcting the value into the bitcoin pairs.
But's the bitcoin pairs still the same to the ethereum rate. But it looks ethereum still lost into the bitcoin pair. But another crypto gets a big loss rather than ethereum.
The only winner is the bitcoin holders.

ETH will probably stay at the current level, perhaps increasing in value a bit and shoot through the 0.05 BTC mark which seems to be bothering it at the moment. Though it'll be hard to see whether or not it'll be able to break another all time high.

Or, it could go down to around 0.03 BTC before rebounding.

If you believe in ETH then keep holding, but personally i wouldn't hold ETH for the long run.

ICOing is dying - ETH is only following BTC in any rally - and then dumping more than it when it starts to dump. But there is a new hope in Kryptokitties - it is a really show off for Ethereum technology, and I have a feeling that it'll become a huge internet fad.

yeah too many icos, theyre running out of scams to make!

I think so too, Ethereum had been in the same current level or within range for a couple months now. And it might increase a little bit and hoping too see if it reaches a new ath but seems like it is having a hard time reaching that goal because of btc who has been increasing more than it should. I do have a couple of Ethereum but I am slowly selling them.

Before people were saying when bitcoin price raises ethereum price drops and when btc drops, ethereum raises. But we understood it is not true at all. ethereum is a strong project and still bery popular for icos. So it will keep raising up independent from bitcoin price.

They better try something new since we knew the icos were not going to last forever, lets see if they can come up with something that really works, something that needs to use ethereum and that many people would want to use.

And the worst thing for them is that I do not see ethereum recovering that ground anytime soon, they are going to remain in a position that is very difficult, do they hold waiting for the price of ethereum to recover or do they sell and admit the fact they made a mistake but at the same time forfeiting any possibility of recovering their losses.

Many people are prob trying to figure that out. It's not looking good for ethereum right now.

The ratio between bitcoin and etherium most like only depend on bitcoin price.
Because bitcoin price is quite more volatile than etherium and also bitcoin price price is very high.

If bitcoin keeps on increasing Ethereum will be having a hard time increasing its price too. Of course most of the altcoins are bitcoin dependent and most of the time they rely on whatever bitcoins current price is.

I got your point and it's true that eth is still sleeping and it's actually now sitting in 0.03btc and many now are losing their hopes but we actually saw this familiar movement in the graph and it's telling that any time soon eth will reach again at least in 0.05btc. As eth next to btc, I believe in its capabilities and it'll bring fortune to those who trust and believes it.

ETH's ratio will recover and go even higher in the long term. If you're HODLING ETH long term like most folks who buy it you don't have anything to worry about. I easily a 0.2BTC ETH in the next 1-2 years.

I've made a big mistake selling my btc for eth. I didn't think it could possibly go any lower after 6 months falling. But I was wrong looks like ethereum was a bad choice.

Ethereum and BTC are both going down but only for a short term. And later on, they will both rise. You can check the trend of the value of the said coins.

its still rising mate until 2018 and so brace some new updates because of the fork is going on the move

In my experience the ethereum price will increase after the bitcoin. that means if the bitcoin gets increase and ethereum will try to follow the bitcoin increase trend after the bitcoin itself.
I've watched it so many times and that will not be surprised me a lot.

There is not a reason for that to be true I do not see a negative correlation between bitcoin and ethereum, to me those coins are two different projects each one with his goals.
