A widely followed crypto analyst says that the Ethereum versus Bitcoin (ETH/BTC) pair is on the cusp of printing a cycle bottom.

In a new video update, crypto trader Benjamin Cowen tells his 813,000 YouTube subscribers that all altcoins will eventually bottom out against the crypto king and it appears as if ETH is poised to stop bleeding against BTC.

But Cowen says Bitcoin’s dominance level – or the ratio of BTC’s market cap compared to the market cap of all other crypto assets – is still on the rise, suggesting that ETH/BTC can still witness a leg down.

“I still think that Bitcoin dominance is in an uptrend… I think it will go probably to approximately 60%, so I don’t think Bitcoin dominance has topped, which is why ETH/BTC could go a little bit lower.”

BTC’s dominance level is currently sitting at 57.64%, according to TradingView.

However, Cowen says it is within the realm of possibility for Ethereum to bottom out against Bitcoin before the rest of the altcoin market prints cycle lows.

“There does exist a scenario where ETH/BTC bottoms before the collective altcoin market bottoms against Bitcoin…

They don’t all have to happen at the same time and I think that’s what a lot of people might forget is that some assets will bottom out against Bitcoin well before other assets bottom out against Bitcoin and all I know right now is that it looks like ETH/BTC is in its final stages of capitulation.

I don’t know how low it’s going to go but I do believe this represents final capitulation for ETH/BTC and I do think it’s going to bottom out relatively soon.”

Cowen goes on to say that the worst-case scenario for this outcome would be a bounce to the upside followed by a lower low in December.

ETH/BTC is currently trading at 0.04125 BTC ($2,597).

Consistent with this pattern, bitcoin has already shown signs of recovery, gaining about $9,000 since the local bottom on Sept. 6, representing a 15% increase in value. This divergence between bitcoin’s (BTC) price and its hash rate started to shape up in July and then persisted into early September, when the computing power of the network reached an all-time high of 693 exahashes per second (EH/s) on a seven-day moving average, while bitcoin’s price was near $54,000.

Aethir, a project for decentralized GPU cloud computing, and Filecoin Foundation are establishing an alliance to provide clients with enterprise-grade solutions to support their businesses with decentralized infrastructure, according to a blog post: “As part of our collaboration with the Filecoin Foundation, Aethir will explore GPU leasing to Filecoin’s storage providers, thus providing Filecoin’s infrastructure network with a reliable and secure source of GPU cloud computing supplies. In parallel to becoming sealing-as-a-service providers, some of Filecoin’s storage providers can borrow GPU capacity from Aethir if they need excess processing power to seal data onto Filecoin’s network… Aethir’s vast network of 43,000+ top-grade GPUs and our premium selection of 3000+ NVIDIA H100s for advanced GPU workloads can provide a highly scalable and trustworthy solution for all Filecoin storage providers needing additional GPU resources.” From a press release: “Additionally, Aethir has integrated with Lighthouse, a platform built on Filecoin offering perpetual storage, encryption, custom gateways and multi-chain smart contracts. Aethir plans to upload AI and node-focused data to the Filecoin network, via Lighthouse. By archiving critical data sets such as TensorOpera Fox-1 to the Filecoin network, Aethir is ensuring transparency, accountability and robust audit trails for AI model governance. Moving forward, Aethir plans to expand its use of Filecoin storage solutions to archive chain state data, enhance data management capabilities, and drive the vision of a fully decentralized ecosystem with minimized operational costs.” CoinDesk 20 asset: (FIL)
