Prominent financial analyst and Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee has advised investors to closely monitor a specific trading pair as a leading indicator for the broader digital asset market. According to Lee, the relationship between Ethereum and Bitcoin is flashing signs that a market-wide resurgence could be imminent.
In a recent social media post on X, Lee pointed to the ETH/BTC ratio as a critical metric for traders to track, calling it a “signal of a revival of crypto.” The commentary was shared ahead of his scheduled engagement at the WebX Asia conference in Tokyo.
ETH/BTC tests critical resistance
The trading pair is currently priced at 0.02858 BTC, representing a modest daily gain of +0.92%. However, the broader 3-month trend shows a notable decline of -7.72%. The chart reveals a steep distribution phase that began in May, driving the ratio from highs near 0.032 down to a local capitulation bottom near the 0.026 mark in early June.
