Market Shifts Influenced by Narratives and Central Bank Liquidity

Market shifts are primarily driven by narratives and central bank liquidity. Ethereum is currently inflationary, a situation that could change with the potential verdict on an Ethereum ETF in the US. This decision could significantly influence Ethereum’s price.

The BTC-ETH Dominance metric from Glassnode, which tracks Bitcoin’s market cap dominance compared to the combined market cap of Bitcoin and Ethereum, is a valuable tool in understanding these macro trends.

Dominance = BTC Market Cap / (BTC Market Cap + ETH Market Cap) – 0.765 with the 0.765 factor included to visualise the oscillator around a long term mean.

  • Higher Values and Uptrends indicate outperformance by Bitcoin.
  • Lower Values and Downtrends indicate outperformance by Ethereum.
