In recent sessions, Ethereum (ETH) dropped over 4% amid a broad crypto sell-off, driven in part by forced liquidations.  Some analysts now warn that the downside is tied more to leveraged positioning than fundamentals. The market is watching upcoming inflation data and Fed decisions closely.

Meanwhile, Standard Chartered boosted its year-end ETH forecast to $7,500, citing stronger stablecoin flows on Ethereum and regulatory tailwinds from the GENIUS Act.  This suggests big players expect ETH demand to rise, partly due to how stablecoins embed in its ecosystem. Do you trust ETH’s resilience in volatility or will it bend first when pressure builds?
