Moving closer to 70 percent 

Prior to that, the top coin's dominance spiked to 68 percent on Oct. 28 due to a monstrous 40 percent price pump, the third biggest daily gain in Bitcoin's entire history.  Bitcoin never managed to regain steam after the short-lived rally, which inevitably pushed the BDI back to the 66 percent level.

What's next for Ethereum? 

Ethereum reached its yearly high of $332 on June 26. However, it later hit a snag with the rest of the cryptocurrency market. In early August, the dominance of the leading altcoin dropped below eight percent, its lowest point since March 2017. 

Now, Bloomberg's Joe Weisenthal points out that ETH is on track to reach the lowest price level against Bitcoin since summer.
