How does ETH differ from BTC for SMC trading?

Ethereum is more volatile than Bitcoin with wider swings and faster structural breaks. ETH tends to lag BTC moves by 4 to 12 hours creating predictable sequencing opportunities. DeFi events and gas fee spikes create unique liquidity events not seen in Bitcoin.

What is the BTC-ETH correlation trade?

When BTC makes a major move and ETH has not yet followed there is a high-probability trade on ETH in the same direction. This lag typically lasts 4 to 12 hours and can be entered using standard SMC order block techniques on ETH.
