EnsoTrade vs Glassnode
The on-chain microscope versus the live order-flow cockpit. One reads the chain's history, the other reads the book in real time.
Glassnode is the on-chain research heavyweight: deep, rigorous, the chart every analyst cites. But on-chain is the slow lens; the trade happens in the order book. Round by round:
