The market narrative just shifted dramatically. With 68% allocation flowing into gold versus 32% into ETH, trading volume hitting $840K signals where smart money is positioning itself right now.



Traders are betting the traditional safe-haven asset could reach $5,000 before Ethereum makes its next major move. That's not just noise—it's a clear vote of confidence in the defensive trade for 2026.

But here's the tension: Is this the beginning of a prolonged risk-off cycle, or are we watching Ethereum consolidate before an explosive move? The momentum battle between these two assets is shaping up to be one of the year's key storylines.

68 to 32? That ratio is outrageous, is gold back again? But the real consolidation should be coming soon, ETH is just waiting for a signal, don't be fooled by short-term noise.

The 68:32 ratio is outrageous. All the smart money has gone into gold. Is Ethereum going to cool off or is it just gathering strength?

Is this wave of gold really about to take off? ETH is still sleeping.

Gold eats meat, Ethereum drinks soup, this wave is really a bit hard to withstand.

The gold vampire is back, and this time locked up all the big positions?

Is the sudden surge in gold just paving the way for Ethereum? The 68:32 ratio looks comfortable, but it just feels like someone is trying to lure more into it.
