🔮 4. Will ETH Break $4,000?
Bullish Arguments:
Institutional FOMO likely before ETF launch

⚙️ 5. How to Position Yourself
If long-term bullish: Hold ETH or scale in
If trading short-term: Watch ETF news, set tight stops
Consider exposure to ETH ecosystem coins ($LDO, $OP, $ARB, $ENS) for higher volatility upside
Avoid high leverage during ETF week due to high liquidations
---
✅ Conclusion
Ethereum’s ETF launch is no longer a dream — it’s on the calendar.
If S-1 approval hits this week, ETH could blast past $4K before July, and altcoins in the ecosystem will likely follow.
Not financial advice. DYOR. Stay smart.
