Santiment data aggregator has published a tweet, which says that at the moment, Ethereum is losing to Bitcoin in dominance and in positive sentiment on crypto Twitter.

Meanwhile, a prominent analyst believes that ETH is likely to test the $2,300-$2,600 levels in the near future.

Perception towards ETH at lowest since June 2018

Santiment tweet says that crypto users on Twitter seem to be turning away from Ethereum towards Bitcoin.

The perception towards Ethereum is at its lowest point since June of 2018. The tweet points out that the crypto markets currently are in fear and view Bitcoin as the safe haven asset.

Therefore, its dominance versus that of Ethereum has grown. This could be also favorable for altcoins, the Santiment team reckons.

Ethereum could rise to $2,600 from its current position

Amsterdam-based trader and analyst Michael van de Poppe believes that if the second biggest cryptocurrency holds at the current level of $1,936, odds are high that it will be able to rise above $2,000 and test the $2,300 and $2,600 price marks.
