A drop listed below the mid-range level, near 0.045, might damage ETH even further relative to BTC.
According to Andrew Kang of Mechanism Capital, there was a high danger of ETHBTC dropping to 0.04 or below, which would make it unappealing as a hedge.
“At that point (listed below 0.04 ETHBTC), I do not think $ETH will be as fascinating of a hedge any longer.”
