Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a liquidity sweep below support first. ETH loves fakeouts in compressed ranges.

But but muh Tom Lee says it's going to $60k!
Send ETH back to ICO price where it belongs (and then lower)

BTC.D puts in a local top → that’s when you rotate BTC → ETH → large caps → mid caps → memecoins. If you don’t watch dominance you buy the alt top every time.

Riktigt stort tack för ett så utvecklat och pedagogiskt svar. Jag uppskattar verkligen att du tog dig tid att förklara så tydligt, speciellt med exemplet om internationella betalningar. Det gjorde det mycket lättare för mig att förstå varför blockkedjeteknik/krypto kan vara relevant på riktigt och inte bara som spekulation.
Det blev också mycket tydligare för mig varför vissa väljer certifikat via Avanza/ISK: enklare, smidigare och man slipper wallets/nycklar, men nackdelen är att man inte äger krypton själv och är bunden till börsens öppettider. Det var exakt den typen av förklaring jag behövde.
Jag sökte också upp mer om Clarity Act efter att du nämnde det, och jag fattar mer nu varför tydligare regler kan vara viktigt för institutioner och företag innan de vågar gå in tyngre. Ska definitivt läsa mer om BTC/ETH, Ondo och CRCL innan jag gör något, men jag kommer ha det du skrev i åtanke när jag funderar på hur stor riskdel jag vill ha i portföljen.
Väldigt imponerande svar faktiskt, tack igen!

ETH has been grinding right under $2,400 and the 4H chart is showing serious wedge compression.

Great article. You explain SOL but how does AVAX not meet the tier 1 categorization that ETH meets?

been watching ETH gas fees lately and something feels different

SOL stays green while BTC and ETH bleed — The Grid's full breakdown for May 12

The interesting question isn’t whether ETH is “dead.”
It’s whether smart contract platforms can still hold monetary premium long term while competing on speed, fees and UX every year.

Well written article. The clarity act definitely has the ability to ease some fears that ETH investors have held concerning the asset.

For years, the cryptocurrency market has operated on a relatively predictable rhythm: when Bitcoin rallies, Ethereum follows closely behind, often amplifying the gains.
However, the current market cycle is painting a very different picture. The ETH/BTC ratio has plunged to 0.02835, marking its lowest level in 10 months and representing a drop of over 35% from its peak in August 2025.
This sustained underperformance has sparked a fierce debate: is Ethereum losing its edge, or is Bitcoin simply sucking all the oxygen out of the room?
# The Institutional Flow Imbalance
The primary driver behind this structural decoupling is a massive divergence in capital flows. Institutional investors are overwhelmingly favoring Bitcoin, largely driven by the explosive success of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
For example, in early May 2026, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) alone attracted hundreds of millions in inflows over just a few days. This represents a concentrated, high-velocity injection of capital directly into Bitcoin, establishing a powerful directional bias that Ethereum currently lacks.
While Bitcoin exchange balances are draining, a classic sign of long-term accumulation, Ethereum is seeing the opposite trend. On-chain data indicates that ETH reserves on major centralized exchanges have been climbing, creating a latent supply overhang.
When large amounts of a cryptocurrency accumulate on exchanges, it often signals that holders are preparing to sell, whether to take profits, hedge, or rotate into stronger assets like Bitcoin.
# The Shifting Narrative
Beyond the raw capital flows, there is a fundamental shift in market narratives. Bitcoin has firmly established itself as "digital gold," a reliable store of value that appeals to traditional finance investors seeking a hedge against inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty. Its technical resilience above key support levels further cements this status.
Ethereum, on the other hand, is grappling with its identity as the "world computer." While it remains the dominant smart contract platform, it faces intense competition from alternative Layer 1 blockchains like Solana, which offer faster transaction speeds and lower fees.
The market appears to be questioning whether Ethereum's technological upgrades and the transition to a deflationary issuance model are enough to maintain its premium valuation in a crowded landscape.
# Navigating the Divergence
This divergence between the two largest cryptocurrencies highlights the importance of strategic portfolio management. The days of simply buying both and expecting correlated returns are over. Investors must now carefully analyze flow dynamics, on-chain metrics, and shifting narratives to identify true relative strength.
For traders looking to capitalize on these complex market movements, having access to a versatile and reliable trading platform is essential. BitMart offers a comprehensive suite of tools and a wide array of digital assets, allowing users to seamlessly execute trades, manage risk, and adjust their exposure between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and emerging altcoins as market conditions evolve.
The current ETH/BTC ratio is not just a temporary dip; it reflects a deeper structural shift in how capital is allocated within the crypto ecosystem.
Until Ethereum can break through major technical resistance levels or institutional flows shift significantly, Bitcoin is likely to maintain its dominant position.

Tack för tipset, uppskattar att du tog dig tid!
Jag är ganska ny, så jag försöker förstå skillnaden mellan att köpa riktig krypto direkt och att köpa certifikat via Avanza, typ Valour/Virtune. Är tanken att certifikat är enklare skattemässigt och smidigare i ISK/KF, men att man samtidigt inte äger själva krypton direkt?
Jag är öppen för att ha en mindre del i högre risk, men vill inte gå in i något jag inte förstår. Hur stor del av en portfölj hade du rimligtvis lagt i krypto om man är ung och har hög riskvilja, men fortfarande vill bygga långsiktigt?
Och när du nämner Ondo och CRCL, ser du dem som små högrisk-cases vid sidan av BTC/ETH, eller hade du faktiskt viktat dem ganska tungt?

The developments that matter structurally are mostly boring infrastructure and regulatory clarity, not new technology.
US stablecoin legislation actually passing creates a framework that institutions need before they'll use stablecoins for treasury or payments at scale. Right now legal ambiguity keeps large corporates on the sidelines. Clear rules, even imperfect ones, unlock institutional adoption that price speculation never will.
Tokenized money market funds and treasuries gaining real AUM. BlackRock's BUIDL and similar products exist now but the volume is small. If these reach tens of billions in TVL, it changes what "yield" means in DeFi and creates genuine institutional on-chain activity beyond speculation.
ETF expansion beyond spot BTC and ETH. Staking-enabled ETH ETFs, broader altcoin products, or options on existing ETFs would deepen liquidity and bring flows that currently can't access crypto directly. Each new product type connects more traditional capital to the market.
Cross-border payment rails using stablecoin settlement becoming default for specific corridors. This is happening quietly but if it becomes the standard way businesses settle in certain LATAM or APAC corridors, it's sustainable volume that doesn't depend on speculation cycles.
What won't change structure despite the hype. New L1s, new consensus mechanisms, AI token integration, gaming tokens. These might create temporary price action but they don't change how capital flows into or out of the market at the institutional level.

ETH is at the same price as when BTC was at 50k (apr 2021).
We went from 0.08 btc of sept 202 to 0.028 of today.
This is a huge failure in terms of price.

According to this draft, that goes for ETH and XRP as well.

Pros
* Cut costs, closed unprofitable stores
* Doesn't take a salary
* Doesn't like short sellers
* Has purchased more shares several times in $10m batches
* Delivered warrants
* Made improvements to web/commernce
* Launched Power Packs, arguably the best thing GameStop has done product-wise
Cons
* Wasted money on new warehouses that were never needed
* Failed to successfully start his US customer care center, supposedly the biggest moat he brought
* Started an NFT marketplace on a barely-used Layer2 chain, sold NFTs worldwide, gatekept who could join the marketplace but approved AI creators that siphoned hundreds of thousands each for worthless JPGs, then locked marketplace to US only, and subsequently closed the whole thing for "regulatory uncertainty" when Coinbase has operated in New York all this time
* Fucked DFV and killed the possible gamma ramp when we were at $80 in premarket, causing DFV to unfollow and unpin his bull thesis right after
* Acted like an idiot on CNBC, making a fool out of himself and scaring potential new money
* Supports President that was bestfriends with Epstein
* Bought the top of BTC and sold CCs at the bottom when he could have bought ETH sub-$2k at the same time for real asymmetric crypto exposure
* Wants to take us from the 70m shares we started with all the way up to 2.5 billion
* Wants to increase share authorization to purchase a target that GME can't afford for the sole reason to quickly hit his EBITDA targets on his compensation plan so he will always have the option to purchase 170m+ shares below market value provided the stock pumps above his option price, uses "no salary" to justify potentially siphoning tens of billions in value for himself
This is just the reality you need to start getting comfortable with accepting. Instead of throwing "shill/fud" at me, come at me with some FACTS just like the ones I listed up above. I'm sure I can come up with some more, but I have to run some errands.

Even if i made big loss with ETH, it is still my best investment ever. Cant imagine not loosing money anymore i love to keep giving.

Analysis of ETH chart

Not really sure I get your strategy? Every time your ETH increases you make sure to swap it to stable coins pegged to inflationary fiat? And it sounds like you do it so you lose value every time? Guess you could pray someone drops 10k at your door step 🤷🏻‍♀️

Grid trading has been by far the most profitable and safest strategy I’ve observed and personally traded. There’s a lot of confusion as to it’s risks and uses and I want to dispel them using my own algo.
1. Trending markets are bad.
No, in fact, they can be your friend. If the markets trend, your algo draws down, of course, but your potential profit is massive.
To cull the risk of a blow up, set parameters where your algo pauses and resumes after a certain time. The resumption should happen at the simulated price level. This means you don’t loose momentum.
2. They always eventually blow up.
Nope. Only when you haven’t accounted for black swan events and haven’t set up the steps right. Should be 3.5% -8.0% depending on the asset. Basket multi-asset accounts are the best because you basically cut your risk in about half. There are ways to fully calculate your risk exposure here, but not always.
3. My only mistake was not leaning in hard enough.
I would experiment with ATR (average true range) and others to make the grid bigger to minimise risk, but then I was just playing myself. I was also way too confident of using only ONE asset like eur/usd or ETH/USD and not experimenting with gold, oil, FX and others as a basket (biggest game changer for me). You can realistically compound and make a crazy return monthly as the top traders do, you just need to let the axe do all the word (proverbially of course).
Grid trading really is a great way to conservatively make good money, you juts need to stick at it and find your 'edge', whatever the latest buzzword for knowing what you're doing is.
