Ethereum's Ether (ETH) has experienced a significant price recovery against Bitcoin (BTC) after hitting a six-month low last week. The ETH/BTC pair reached 0.0709 BTC on April 18, up by approximately 15% from its local bottom of 0.0602 BTC six days prior. Ethereum's Shapella upgrade, which enables Ether stakers to withdraw their rewards from the proof-of-stake smart contract, may have boosted ETH's appeal compared to BTC. Stakers have withdrawn 574,700 ETH worth about $1.21 billion since the upgrade on April 12. However, institutional investors have shown more interest in Bitcoin than Ether in the past week, with Bitcoin-based investment vehicles witnessing $103.8 million in inflows versus Ethereum funds' $300,000. Ethereum's price is also at risk of a potential bearish reversal move due to its overbought daily relative strength index (RSI).
