The SOL/ETH ratio — a measure of the value of one Solana token to one Ether token — has reached a new all-time high in the wake of a market shakeup that saw crypto prices tumble drastically on the week. 

The Solana (SOL) to Ether (ETH) ratio notched a new high of 0.0595 on Aug. 6, per TradingView data.

It comes in the wake of a brutal $500 billion crypto sell-off stemming from turmoil in traditional financial markets, outsized selling from Jump Crypto, and wider macroeconomic unease.

Ether tumbled as much as 22% on Aug. 5, while Solana fell 36% in the same timeframe.

However, following the sell-off, the price of SOL has bounced 35% from a local low of $110 on Aug. 5 to $144 at the time of publication.

Meanwhile, while the price of ETH bounced only 15%, rallying from a yearly low of $2,157 to a price of $2,463 at the time of publication.

Previously the SOL/ETH ratio had reached as high as 0.0591 in March during a major rally in the price of Solana, which saw the asset briefly notch a new all-time-high in terms of market capitalization.

Crypto traders become superstitious

The crypto community has become extremely superstitious of traders being overly bullish on ETH, with the market participants believing that ETH tends to perform poorly alongside an outpouring of enthusiasm for the asset.

As part of the ongoing jest, machine intelligence crypto firm Spectral Labs has even introduced an AI-powered bot to automatically short ETH when traders flip too bullish ETH on social media.

In an Aug. 6 post to X, Spectral Labs said they had built an AI agent to automatically short Ether whenever crypto traders began posting bullish ETH/BTC charts — a metric that shows the value of one Ether token relative to one Bitcoin.
