$ETH is maintaining a strong upward trend after surpassing the $4,000 threshold, thanks to stable ETF inflows and optimistic sentiment from crypto-supportive policies under the Trump administration. However, there may be a slight correction due to profit-taking pressure after the 20-30% increase last week.

Short-term price forecast:

11/08: Fluctuating $4,200–$4,350, with potential ROI of ~2-3% if the upward trend continues.

13/08: $4,250–$4,400, may test the resistance level of $4,500 if CPI is lower than expected.

17/08: $4,300–$4,500, but downside risk to $4,000 if there are negative news from the Fed.

Influencing factors:

ETF and staking: The inflow of funds into ETH ETFs continues to be strong, and the possibility of the SEC relaxing staking regulations could push prices higher.

Network upgrade: The Pectra outlook (expected in 2025) and reduced Layer 2 fees support long-term growth.

Risks: Lower-than-expected ETH inflation could exert pressure, along with volatility from macroeconomic factors (CPI on 12/08 forecasted at +0.3%).

Strategy: Buy when the price hits support at $4,100–$4,200, set stop-loss below $4,000. If you are holding, consider taking partial profits at $4,500.
