4. Today's Market Recap and Outlook

- Market Recap:
Today, ETH followed the overall market weakness. Early in the day, geopolitical tensions and ETF fund outflows caused the price to quickly drop to 1,927.59 USDT. It then saw a slight rebound but failed to break through the 2,000 level, and continued to decline in the afternoon.
- Future Outlook:
- Short-term: Key support levels are at 1,930–1,900 USDT. If these are broken effectively, further decline is possible. Resistance levels are at 2,000–2,030 USDT. Rebound pressure at these levels still presents short opportunities.
- Mid-term: ETF fund outflows persist, combined with low liquidity during the Spring Festival holiday, likely leading to sideways consolidation. Market volatility may increase after the holiday, so caution is advised.
