Let’s set the direction with one sentence—see how high Old T can bluff, common trading tactics, skilled in the one-word soul-cutting sword. Based on the information below, how high it can go—brothers, be careful; they’re about to pull out big moves. You know how Dongzong tends to head south. Let’s wait and see.
Geopolitical: Middle East ceasefire expectations (strongest catalyst)
• April 14–17: US-Iran tensions cool down, ceasefire talks advance
◦ Trump said he is willing to negotiate, and Iran releases signs of easing
◦ The situation in the Middle East shifts from “war panic” to “risk mitigation”
◦ Safe-haven funds move out of the dollar and gold, and return to risk assets (crypto/stocks)
◦ ETH’s cumulative gain since April 14 exceeds 14%, and it continues to be strong today
◦ Market consensus: geopolitical risk is removed → risk appetite repairs → crypto assets broadly rally
• April 13–17: The US Senate restarts deliberation on the “Clear Act”
◦ The bill provides a federal regulatory framework for crypto assets (classification, compliance, institutional access)
◦ The industry and institutions strongly support it, and ETF funds keep flowing in
◦ Institutional capital accelerates entry: ETH spot ETF net inflow of $27 million on April 17
◦ Regulation shifts from “vague crackdowns” to “standardized compliance,” a long-term positive
◦ Market interpretation: US crypto regulation becomes clear → institutional confidence strengthens → ETH rises
• April 17: US CPI data comes in below expectations, and the probability of rate cuts increases
◦ The dollar weakens, and expectations for easier liquidity rise
◦ Funds shift from low-yield USD assets to high-growth crypto assets
◦ ETH and Bitcoin move up in sync, and broader market sentiment drives it
• April 18: China did not release any new regulatory policies
◦ A ban on virtual currency trading within mainland China (Document No. 42 from eight departments in February 2026)
◦ But it does not affect the global market; funds mainly come from overseas institutions
Today’s rise = geopolitical easing (Middle East ceasefire) + clearer US regulation (bill progress) + Fed rate-cut expectations (easier liquidity)
• Geopolitical easing → risk appetite rebounds → funds flow into crypto
• US regulatory compliance → institutional funds enter → strong ETH buy orders
• Rate-cut expectations → the dollar weakens → crypto assets rise
