Ethereum’s taken a beating, lagging Bitcoin and Solana, with its dominance near historic lows. It looks dirt cheap, but cheap doesn’t always mean a good buy. I’m diving into on-chain metrics to see if ETH’s a hidden gem or a fading star, breaking down futures dynamics and DeFi trends to guide traders at every level. From stablecoin flows to ETF inflows, this is your roadmap to deciding whether to stack ETH or skip it, so let’s dig in step by step. Ethereum’s dominance, the share of crypto’s market cap in ETH, is scraping 7%, a support level from September 2019, signaling a potential bounce after months of underperformance, down 60% versus the market last year. But ETH’s fundamentals are solid, it holds 51% of DeFi’s total value locked (TVL) at $51B versus Solana’s $8B, a 6.5x lead, while its market cap ($217B) is only 3x Solana’s ($75B). Two years ago, ETH’s market cap was 26x Solana’s, showing ETH’s now undervalued relative to its DeFi heft. The average ETH investor’s underwater, with the realized price above the current price, a buy signal akin to buying BTC at $44K. Beginners, this screams opportunity, but stick to spot ETH, no leverage. Intermediate traders, track ETH/SOL charts, a ratio below 3x is a buy zone. Pros, long ETH/BTC if dominance breaks 10%, but set 5% stops for volatility. Futures markets amplify ETH’s moves and explain its dip. Perpetual futures let traders bet on ETH’s price with leverage, like 10x, fueling volatility. Recent ETH dumps, like a 26% drop, stem from swaps out of ETH into stablecoins, not fundamentals. Stablecoin market cap, at $242B, shows fiat flooding crypto since October 2023, boosting BTC 260% while stables grew 85%. ETH’s 126B in stablecoins (Tether, USDC) makes it the bridge between TradFi and crypto, a role rivals like Tron can’t match due to backing doubts. Stablecoin dominance, now between 5-9%, could drop to November 2024 lows, pushing BTC to $130K-$150K and lifting ETH. Beginners, avoid futures, they’re a newbie shredder. Intermediate traders, watch funding rates, negative rates signal short-heavy markets, ripe for pumps. Pros, long ETH futures on dips below $2,500, hedge with USDT. DeFi and staking bolster ETH’s bull case. Despite losing DeFi share (61% to 51% in a year), ETH’s TVL dwarfs Solana’s, and its DEX trading volume stays robust despite high gas fees, now cents during off-peak hours. ETH’s staking program, post-proof-of-stake merge, has plateaued, with no unstaking pressure, unlike fears of sell-offs. Staking’s decentralized across protocols, reducing hack risks. The Grayscale Ethereum Trust’s ETF conversion caused outflows, but net ETF inflows are now ticking up, easing sell pressure. Beginners, dollar-cost average ETH to ride DeFi strength. Intermediate traders, monitor ETF flows, inflows signal bullish momentum. Pros, stake ETH for yield, but pair with BTC longs to hedge. ETH’s long-term edge lies in TradFi adoption. Wall Street’s eyeing ETH for assets like S&P 500 ETFs or property indexes, favoring its stability over Solana’s meme coin chaos. Active ETH addresses are steady, not shrinking, and new ERC20 token launches are modest, avoiding Solana’s Pump.fun bubble. ETH’s not crashing like past DeFi Ponzi schemes (Terra Luna, Olympus DAO), and a less-levered market, with stablecoins outpacing DeFi TVL, cuts crash risks. Beginners, learn ETH’s role before chasing alts. Intermediate traders, diversify into stocks, take ETH profits above $3,500. Pros, bet on ETH for TradFi integration, short SOL/ETH if Solana pumps. Bitcoin’s rising dominance warns against random altcoin bets, alt seasons spark at 70% BTC dominance, not yet here. ETH’s a safer alt play, but still player-versus-player, insiders with on-chain skills win. Beginners, stick to BTC and ETH, skip meme coins. Intermediate traders, track stablecoin dominance, buy ETH on dips if it falls to 5%. Pros, long ETH/BTC, short SOL/ETH, keep 20% in USDT. Lesson: buy when others panic, but confirm staying power. $BTC $ETH $SOL $XRP $ENA $ADA $VIRTUAL $NEIROETH $BROCCOLI $PENGU $HOUSE $HAEDAL

This is what i think happened in the last cycle and this. Retweet and tag your friends to also read and learn The reality many are missing are the following : - Those assets ( currently) only #BTC is currently trading above its last cycle ATH - Even though we pumped to ATH( on BTC and #SOL) , according to the rules of the 4yr market cycle, we should currently trade atleast 1X( $140k) our ATH and 1.5X ( $175k to $200k) early next year, this is conservatively realistic. - Failed to understand that last cycle pump and dump was due to over leverage of many taking advantage of the very low interest rate to borrow ans invest in risk assets like crypto and stocks, which later had to force many to start selling when interest rate hikes begins in 2022, that is the reason the dump hit very hard coupled with Quantitative Tightening campaign. - With everything reset, in 2023, without rate cut and continues Quantitative Tightening, the market gradullay bounced back above half the cycle ATH( of 2021, $70k), with a recent addon of just 3 rate cut, moved past the ATH, and later trump win kicks in which made us go even above 100k plus, we later reset that to below 70k. These are few things i can say from what i observed, in essence what i mean is, the market is currently in a healthy cycle, none of the above from #LUNA, #FTX and other style mistake, many founders and investors learned alot of mistake and would hardly repeat that to another mistake that could cause us like last cycle, which will in turn allow the market to grow healthy without the pump and dump saga. As for #ETH, I am very bullish beyond ever before resson is : Last if you compare ETH with assets like SOL and BTC, you will see that ETH looks healthier than BTC , SOL and any other crypto, take for example, compare the dump of BTC with that of ETH. BTC dumped from $69k ATH to $15k ATL in the last cycle, which is a 4.7X down margin ETH dumped from $4.8k ATH to $900 plus, which is 5x down margin The MC margin between BTC and ETH at that time( during their ATH) is $600B plus( that is BTC is atleast 1X bigger than ETH in market cap), yet they had almost head to head dump 4.7X on BTC and 5X on ETH, to good investors, ETH is overpriced compared to BTC at that time, because the least ETH should have dumped to is 7x to 8x , if BTC is to dump to that much ( 4.7X). Why?, because BTC shouldn't have dumped that due to its strong MC, which shows more economic security than ETH, i see two reason that made BTC dumped that much and made ETH a little stronger : The buffer for ETH dump at that time is the transioning of ETH from POW to POS, the dump on BTC , LUNA contributed into making it dumped that much. I woul have said something on SOL, but we all know, one of the biggest reason SOL also dumped that much was FTX collapse, that dumped Sol from $260 to $8, which is more than 30x down. Investors will see opportunity on BTC because to them, ETH is not sold that much compared to BTC due to the reason above. They will still prefer to invest on SOL due to its low MC advantage, and use the scalability narrative and their cabal steps used to pump market, it was already very obvious to everyone that ETH is winning due to L2s and many other protocols launching, even though ETH gasfee is high, L2s gasfee is very low at that time with alot of protocols like GMX and many others doing very well on arbitrum, did you all know that arbitrum TVL alone, is far bigger than that of Sol TVL in 2023, but later due to the scalability narrative and price advantage Sol has over ETH they chose SOL. And to add the salt to injury, many founders gives VC huge allocation ans start with high MC upon launch, this gave another bad narrative on ETH ( High FDV float). While of that happened, ETH keeps building and upgrading for Users, devs and founders. While SOL is now left with negative narrative of pump and dump , insider ETC. Wait for ETH turn, you will say i once said so. Comment what you think
