The gold/silver ratio has been used by commodity traders for decades. when silver gets cheap relative to gold, money tends to rotate into it. That same idea actually applies pretty well to crypto too.
Right now the ETH/BTC ratio is sitting around 0.028, which is getting close to levels we haven’t seen since 2020. For context:
2020 bottom: ~0.020 (ETH went on to massively outperform BTC over the next year)
2022 bottom: ~0.050 (ETH still outperformed BTC pretty solidly after)
Current: ~0.028 — getting back into that same “historically cheap” range
That doesn’t automatically mean “buy ETH right now.” The key with ratio trading isn’t just that something is cheap — it’s waiting for the trend to actually reverse. The move usually comes after the ratio turns, not while it’s still falling.
You can apply the same idea across other pairs too:
ETH/BTC (most liquid and widely watched)
BTC/Gold (crypto vs traditional store of value)
SOL/ETH (higher risk rotation within crypto)
I’ve been using a tool called RatioFlip (ratioflip.polsia.app) to track this stuff. It’s free, shows live ratio data, and highlights when things hit historically notable levels. No signals or anything, just clean charts and context.
Curious if anyone else here watches ratios like this, or if you think crypto’s too volatile for it to be reliable.
