Thoughts on ETHBTC Pair Correlation to Macro Events
Observing the ETHBTC pair's recent movements, it appears less susceptible to direct macro economic data releases compared to $BTC's reaction. While $BTC often shows immediate volatility around CPI or FOMC announcements, $ETHBTC seems to be carving its own path, possibly influenced more by network developments or specific $ETH demand. Has anyone done a deeper dive into the divergence in correlation coefficients between $BTC/USD and $ETHBTC during key macro events over the past year? I'm curious if this decoupling is a sustained trend or just recent noise. Specifically, I'm looking at the periods around the last three major central bank rate decisions. Any data or analysis would be appreciated.

I've noticed a similar trend. It makes sense that ETH's value proposition, heavily tied to its ecosystem's growth and upgrades, might insulate it somewhat from the immediate macro shocks that tend to send the broader market, including BTC, swinging. It'd be interesting to see if this decoupling holds long-term.
