All eyes on ETHBTC as Ethereum nears key resistance point against Bitcoin

Ethereum has reached a key inflection point against Bitcoin – and a breakout could push the entire altcoin market higher, traders say.
This morning Ethereum was trading for 0.07759 BTC, its highest level since early September. It also traded briefly around that same level in mid-May, just before the crash. A move to 0.0794 would be a six-month high, while 0.083 BTC would be a three and a half year high.

Speaking of surprises, I thought that ETHBTC pair will breakout during Q1 of next year, but no.
It breaks out now. Very, very bullish for whole Altcoin market.
