We are 8 blocks away from the BTG hard fork and the price is already volatile. Bitcoin went down and Ethereum went up. Is there some whales dumping bitcoin now before the fork? Any thought?
Main reason was that there was a panic dump in bitcoin for whatever reason. Ethereum and bitcoin have an inverse relationship with each other in terms of price so it seems right now, and when one goes up the other will go down and vice versa.
Also, ethereum was down big time for a long time now and it was due for a pump.
Not really surprising, imo.
