A lot has been fabricated from the underperformance of ETH.
Seems, SOL is on monitor to match it nearly to a tee.
A couple of weeks again, I identified that ETH is speedrunning the Intel inventory chart — doing what Intel has accomplished over the previous 50 years in a few decade.
Right here’s one other within the sequence: The SOL/BTC ratio is on an nearly equivalent path to the ETH/BTC ratio.
Under plots the worth of each ETH (inexperienced) and SOL (purple) when it comes to BTC (their bitcoin ratios), with some caveats:
- The SOL/BTC knowledge begins 10 months into its buying and selling historical past, in February 2021 fairly than April 2020.
- SOL/BTC has been moved ahead to match ETH, as if each cash have been launched on the identical time.
- ETH/BTC is sped up by 2x, which condenses two days of worth motion into one.
As you may see, the ETH and SOL bitcoin ratios are mapping eerily comparable trajectories.

Each underwent massive preliminary spikes of worth discovery in opposition to BTC throughout their first bull markets — ETH in 2017 and SOL in 2021 — earlier than collapsing all through bear markets.
Then they posted comparatively lackluster returns in opposition to bitcoin within the following bull market cycle: ETH/BTC principally trended sideways between Could 2021 and January 2023 however has since tanked by greater than 60%.
SOL/BTC has in any other case gone not a lot of wherever between December 2023 and at the moment. This may put SOL/BTC about the place ETH/BTC was in mid-2023 — earlier than the latter slid from 0.07320 BTC to 0.028 BTC over the following yr and a half.

So, if SOL is certainly destined to trace ETH relative to BTC, then the worth of ETH going up in opposition to the US greenback — and quick — would certainly assist issues.
Dangerous information: ETH has technically entered a bear market. At the very least, that’s by one very primary definition, which suggests {that a} coin is in a bear market when its year-on-year returns are damaging and vice versa.
It’s the identical concept that claims bitcoin’s most up-to-date bear market, which spanned 490 days between February 2022 and June 2023, was its longest on document. ETH’s year-on-year returns have been damaging for nearly that total interval.
Because it seems, ETH’s year-on-year returns (minus staking) once more flipped damaging 10 days in the past, on February 14. That’s a primary since June 2023 — which is both the very early innings of the present bull market or the very remaining moments of the earlier bear market, relying on the way you have a look at it.
