ETH VS RUSSELL


Something interesting is happening again.
Before the major ETH rallies in 2016 and 2020, two things happened:
• Russell 2000 broke out
• ISM Manufacturing moved above 55
2016 → ETH: $10 to $1,400
2020 → ETH: $88 to $4,800
Fast forward to 2026.
The Russell 2000 is breaking out of its multi-year range, while ISM has hit 55.6, its highest level in 4 years.
Both signals have now triggered again.
$ETH has also started recovering from its $1,505 low.
Could history repeat?
Definitely something to keep on the radar.

Interesting, but more importantly, liquidity conditions are completely different from back then. Even if the signal reappears, can it replicate the dozens-fold gains from that time? Personally, I think even half that would count as a win, and scaling in gradually would be safer.

It is indeed rare for both indicators to trigger simultaneously. The last times were in 2016 and 2020. If another wave comes in 2026, ETH will take off.

Russell breaks out and ISM hits a new high—the last time we saw this combination was four years ago. Those who didn’t get in then deeply regretted it; this time, I’m choosing to accumulate ETH early and accept the loss if it doesn’t work out.

First Review
Small-cap stocks and manufacturing data are both pointing to a recovery, but does history really repeat itself so simply? I think this pullback has already been deep enough to give the rebound a solid foundation—just don’t set expectations too high.
