📊 $ETH vs Russell 2000 — A Rare Divergence

I haven’t seen a gap this wide between Ethereum ($ETH) and the Russell 2000 Index in many years.
This level of divergence is statistically extreme and historically unsustainable.
When risk assets decouple this sharply, markets tend to resolve the imbalance through convergence — either via mean reversion or a delayed catch-up move.
🔍 Why This Matters
The Russell 2000 reflects U.S. small-cap risk appetite
$ETH represents growth, innovation, and liquidity sensitivity
Both typically respond to macro liquidity cycles
A divergence of this magnitude suggests mispricing, not equilibrium.
🔮 Looking Toward 2026
If financial conditions stabilize and liquidity improves:
$ETH has room for relative outperformance
A catch-up phase becomes increasingly probable
Not a prediction — a market structure observation.
