2% below its all-time high ($112k); ETH is nearing $2,800, with altcoins rallying up to 8% ahead of upcoming U.S. inflation data (barrons.com). - Corporate adoption, exemplified by firms like MicroStrategy increasing BTC treasuries, remains a major fundamental catalyst (apnews.com).

🧠 3. Technical Analysis Insights

- ETH: Strong bounce near $2,700–$2,800 range; MACD turning bullish signals upward momentum . RSI is neutral but probing overbought territory. Major resistance sits at ~$2,800; support resides around $2,500–2,600.
- Altcoins (SOL, ADA, BNB): Showing 3–4% intraday gains—reflective of broad risk-on sentiment. Key levels to monitor: SOL resisting near $170; ADA stable above $0.70.
💧 4. Trading Volumes, Liquidity & Risk Metrics
- 24‑hour volumes remain robust tied to inflows into crypto‑funds; Ethereum is showing heightened on‑chain activity (CPI-driven positioning).
- Liquidity remains ample at top-tier exchanges, but volatility is elevated around macro news, especially CPI and Fed statements.
- Risk alert: Bitcoin sits ~2% from ATH—technically vulnerable if U.S. inflation surprises upside. Analysts warn momentum could stall (barrons.com, reddit.com).

⚠️ 6. Risks & Opportunities

- Near‑term upside if U.S. inflation comes in tame, enabling BTC to break above $112k and ETH above $2,800.
- Continued institutional inflows via ETFs and corporate treasuries.
- Risks:
- Surprising inflation data → Fed pause → tightening → pullback in risk assets.

🔍 7. Actionable Takeaways
- Monitor U.S. CPI release today – a key inflection point for crypto; a soft print may fuel rally continuation (speculative).
- BTC breakout above $112k could validate continued momentum; failure invites retracement to $105–108k.
- ETH holding $2,700–$2,800 is critical; sustained support may foster altcoin upside; breakdown undermines bullish case.
- Maintain risk management discipline—position sizes calibrated to volatility; use tight stops near resistance zones.
