$ETH is quietly becoming the market's liquidity sponge. With BTC at $84,266 (+0.38%) and ETH at $2,692 (+0.23%), the gap in momentum is the story: capital rotating out of hacked venues and L2 bridges tends to land in ETH first, because it's the deepest, most liquid "safe-ish" alt pool.
For beginners, think of it this way: staking yield is the rent you earn for holding ETH. When that yield is attractive versus the cost of borrowing ETH to chase trades, holders stake instead of sell — shrinking free float. Right now ETH funding sits at 0.0047%, same as BTC, meaning leverage demand is neutral, not euphoric. That's healthy, but it also means ETH isn't yet leading.
Level to watch: $2,650. Losing it on a daily close flips this constructive read neutral.
Risk note: size positions so a single invalidation doesn't force a decision — define the exit before entry.
