Ether holds the 2714.77 breakout as ETF flows turn positive on the week $ETH is trading near 2,720, up 0.9% on the day, and parked just above the hourly breakout that has become the level to defend. Citi lifted its 12-month ether target to 3,028 from 2,240 and bitcoin to 113,000, assuming 5 billion in crypto investment product inflows over the same window. That is forecast work rather than a catalyst, and it landed against a mixed flow tape: lookonchain showed Ethereum ETFs at minus 5,171 ETH (13.89 million) on the day, while the seven-day figure sits at plus 41,041 ETH (110.24 million). The SEC also proposed custody clarifications for advisers and funds, allowing self-custody in certain cases and state-chartered trusts, with a 60-day comment period and nothing binding yet. In the background, lookonchain flagged a wallet tied to Joseph Lubin moving 133,298 ETH (356.2 million) to a new address, and MetaMask disclosed an infrastructure incident that has it pulling affected validators from Lido. Noise rather than direction, but worth knowing. The chart: after ranging, buyers reclaimed the clustered EMAs and pushed through the 2714.77 swing high, flipping it to support and leaving price just above the dealing range midpoint. The prior swing high at 2738 is the nearest buy-side pool, with a tight demand block at 2688 to 2695 sitting under the rally. A retest of 2714.77 that holds keeps 2738 in play, while a sustained break below 2688 weakens the shift and hands the range back to sellers, so that level decides rather than the breakout candle itself. Invalidation is 2688. If the retest gets bought, do you want 2738 taken in the same session, or is a slower grind healthier for this structure? Setups like this land in the group every day, and the bio has the way in. #Altcoin Season# #Macro Insights#
