📊 Core market data

· Intraday performance: ETH briefly touched a stage high of 2,666 today during the session; then the price pulled back. The closing price ultimately returned above 2,600, with the 24-hour gain roughly in the 6.5%–7% range.

· Capital flow dynamics: According to on-chain publicly available data monitoring, today around 2,470 there is significant attention from Zijin, and near the 2,500 integer round-number level, there is a strong willingness for buy orders to absorb.

🚀 Market drivers (macro + ecosystem)

· Improving macro environment: After the CPI data was released, the crypto market went through intense volatility characterized by “first suppression, then rebound.” Rising expectations for rate cuts, together with a weakening U.S. dollar index, jointly drove valuation repairs in risk assets such as Ethereum.

· Ecosystem tailwinds resonate: a new proposal from ETH’s founder aims to reduce the costs of private transactions and enhance protection against quantum attacks, further boosting market confidence in ETH’s long-term technical roadmap.

📉 Risks and profit-taking positions

· Whole-network liquidation impact: in the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount across the network reached as much as 563 million, with the largest single liquidation at 20.28 million. The sharp volatility suggests short-term speculative funds have been flushed out, and subsequent market fluctuations may further intensify.

· Short-term upward momentum cooling: indicators such as MACD show that the 15-minute and 4-hour moving averages have weakened, and RSI is in a neutral range; technically, there is some pullback pressure.

📈 What to watch next

Institutional signals: the spot flows of the ETF for “two pancakes” show signs of outflows, suggesting some institutions—Zijin in particular—are still on the sidelines.

· Key levels: for the overhead pressure zone, watch 2,666; for the support zone, refer to 2,430 and the lower Bollinger Band of 2,401. $ETH
