ETH/BTC broke through major resistance on August 13 to pass 0.08 BTC, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView confirmed.
The change is significant for Ethereum, the largest altcoin, because the range around 0.075 marked a problematic sell zone that had previously kept bulls at bay since January.

As previously reported by Cointelegraph, ETH/USD crossed $2,000 overnight, a huge psychological barrier not seen since May.
