Ethereum (ETH) dropped to 0.01890, its lowest level since January 2020 and 80% below its 2021 high. This decline comes as Ethereum continues to lose market share across key sectors of the crypto industry. DeFi Llama data shows that protocols in its network processed $56 billion in April, lower than Solana’s (SOL) $72 billion. Ethereum is also losing ground to layer-2 networks, which aim to improve scalability and speed without compromising security. Base, a layer-2 network created by Coinbase, processed transactions worth $20 billion in April. Unichain, a L2 network recently launched in February, handled $3.4 billion, while Arbitrum processed $14.3 billion. In theory, Ethereum would have handled these transactions. Meanwhile, Ethereum has weakened further as Bitcoin’s dominance in the market has continued to climb. Bitcoin currently holds a 63% market share, up from a year-to-date low of 18% and at its highest level since November 2021. In contrast, Ethereum’s dominance has fallen to 7%, its lowest point since April 2018.Bitcoin and Ethereum dominance diverge | Source: CoinMarketCapEthereum price technical analysisETH price chart | Source: crypto.newsThe weekly chart shows that the ETH/BTC pair peaked at 0.08810 in December 2021 and has since plunged 80% to its current 0.01890 level.Ethereum remains below both the 50-week and 100-week moving averages. Additionally, the Money Flow Index has continued falling and now sits at an oversold level of 14.The Average Directional Index has risen to 48.75, indicating that bearish momentum is still strong.Crucially, the pair has formed an inverse cup and handle pattern, a well-known bearish continuation signal. This pattern features a horizontal support line and a rounded top, often preceding further downside. If the pattern plays out, the next level to watch is 0.0070, which marked the bottom in December 2016. A drop below that would set the stage for a possible retest of the all-time low at 0.0019.
