Ethereum

Record validator queue demand (2.5M+ ETH awaiting staking entry) combined with a $94M single-whale accumulation event in July signals a supply squeeze that could accelerate a move through $2,100 resistance if macro conditions cooperate.

ETH is grinding higher from its early-2026 lows, trading at $1,944 and building a base above the $1,850 demand zone, with record staking inflows and whale accumulation pointing toward a retest of the key $2,100 breakout level.

Main Risk

Renewed US-Iran Military Escalation

US military strikes on Iranian targets resumed after a brief pause, threatening a risk-off flight that could drag ETH back below the $1,800 psychological support and unwind the July recovery.
