Answer Bitcoin dominance rises as Ethereum and other altcoins underperform
Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, has fallen more than 12% over the past 7 days.
Ethereum has largely underperformed Bitcoin.
The ETH/BTC trading pair is down 7.85% in just one day.
The value of Ethereum fell to just 0.059 bitcoin, the lowest since October 20.
Ethereum is down more than 22% against its main competitor since the beginning of the year due to risk sentiment taking center stage.

Bitcoin dominance is now up nearly 46%, booming from the massive drop in Ethereum.

However, Bitcoin is far from a safe haven in such an environment.
As the largest cryptocurrency is down 57.90% since the beginning of the year.
The poor performance of the Ethereum price was partly caused by a deep reorganization affecting seven blocks in the Ethereum “Beacon” blockchain that was preparing to merge and switch from a Proof of Work mechanism to a stake early in August, according to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
The looming Bitcoin monthly options expiration, scheduled to occur on Friday, is a mainly bearish catalyst.
