Ethereum

The June CPI's 0.4% monthly decline has materially reduced Fed rate-hike risk, giving ETH its strongest macro tailwind in months — but the $1,900–$1,920 prior range resistance is the critical near-term gate to watch.

ETH has recovered from its early-July lows near $1,774 and is now holding above the 50-day EMA (~$1,804), fuelled by a softer-than-expected June CPI print and $36.7M in fresh spot ETF inflows on July 18.

Main Risk

U.S.–Iran Military Escalation

Ongoing U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets for a fourth consecutive day risk spiking oil prices and triggering a risk-off flight that could rapidly unwind ETH's CPI-driven gains, with $1,774 July swing low the first line of defence.
