Bitwise's research indicates that Ethereum's price movements are primarily driven by Bitcoin and macroeconomic liquidity, with relatively weak influence from on-chain fundamentals. The model shows that Bitcoin volatility can explain 65% of Ethereum's volatility, while accommodative monetary conditions and ETF fund flows also contribute to Ethereum's price.

Citi significantly lowers Bitcoin and Ethereum target prices, with policy delays constraining upside potential
Citigroup has lowered its 12-month target prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum to $112,000 and $3,175 respectively, mainly due to the slower-than-expected progress of U.S. policy initiatives. Although the target prices have been reduced, both assets still have room for upward movement. The market's diminished expectations for demand growth make the sustainability of capital inflows a critical factor. If regulatory conditions improve, the target prices may be raised; otherwise, the downward adjustment will be justified.
