ETH is currently trading around $1,940 - $2,100, having recently slipped below the critical $2,000 psychological barrier.

Bearish Sentiment: The market just experienced its largest sustained liquidation phase since 2021. US Spot ETH ETFs have flipped back to negative net outflows, with over $5 billion in unrealized losses for ETF investors.

The "Golden Buying Zone": Many analysts are labeling the current range between $1,790 and $2,200 as a major accumulation zone. While the price is bleeding, on-chain data shows "whale" addresses are aggressively loading up, taking in roughly 1.3 million ETH in just the last five days.

Next Week's Prediction: Expect high volatility as ETH tests its "final defense" at $1,845. If it holds, a technical rebound toward $2,150 is likely. If it fails, the doors open to a deeper drop toward $1,740.Institutional Paradox: While prices are falling, firms like Bitmine Immersion have increased their holdings to over 4.3 million tokens. There is a clear divide between panic-selling retail traders and accumulating institutions.

The "Pectra" Effect: Anticipation for upcoming network upgrades and increased Layer 1 throughput is the primary "bull case" for 2026, though it isn't providing much short-term relief yet.

Macro Headwinds: Like BNB, ETH is highly sensitive to next week's inflation data. A "risk-off" sentiment in global markets is currently outweighing Ethereum’s internal ecosystem growth.

Bottom Line: Next week is a "stress test." If ETH holds $1,845, it confirms the "smart money" is effectively floor-pricing the asset. If it breaks, expect a volatile slide.
