4. Today's Market Recap and Outlook

- Market Recap:
Today, ETH followed the overall market weakness. Early in the day, geopolitical tensions and ETF fund outflows caused the price to quickly drop to 1,927.59 USDT. It then saw a slight rebound but failed to break through the 2,000 level, and continued to decline in the afternoon.
​
- Future Outlook:
​
- Short-term: Key support at 1,930–1,900 USDT. If broken effectively, further decline is possible; resistance at 2,000–2,030 USDT. Rebound pressure at these levels still offers short opportunities.
​
- Mid-term: ETF fund outflows persist, combined with low liquidity during the Spring Festival holiday, likely leading to sideways consolidation. Market volatility may increase after the holiday, so caution is advised.
