ETH CRUSHED BITCOIN IN Q3 WITH A 70% SURGE.
But the order books tell a more complex story.
ETH outperformed Bitcoin by nearly 30 percentage points.
While its order book depth collapsed to just 35% to 45% of Bitcoin's.
Down from at least 60% a year ago.
This is a double edged sword.
Thinner books amplify moves in both directions.
The 70% Q3 rally was partly fueled by this thin liquidity.
Less resistance on the way up.
But less support on the way down.
Large trades now move ETH price dramatically in either direction.
The outperformance is real.
The fragility behind it is equally real.
Trade ETH's momentum with that liquidity reality in mind.
