Anyone tracking how the ETH/BTC ratio moved during all this chaos?

The ratio noise is a distraction, when a major hardware wallet gets breached, traders aren't rotating into ETH, they're pulling into cold storage or stables to survive, not to rebalance pairs.

That 4h candle when this dropped was basically a free short signal. Felt obvious in real time.

Did anyone's scheduled buy go through right in the middle of all this?

Scheduled buys are for people who don't watch the chart, that daily wick screamed exit, not entry.
Wait, does moving to "safety" just mean a different hardware wallet, or are people going custodial again?
Most of that movement is almost certainly just self-custody reshuffling to different cold storage, big holders aren't going to hand $15B to a custodian the moment one wallet brand has a scare, they'd just switch hardware.
Fair, but even "reshuffling" means coins are in transit, and that's historically when weird stuff happens.
