ETH $7.5K Year‑End Call: Buy on Weakness Amid ETF‑Driven Demand

I view Standard Chartered’s upgrade of Ethereum to a $7,500 year‑end target as credible given the recent surge in ETF inflows, U.S. legislative progress, and growing corporate ETH treasuries that together boost liquidity and institutional demand.

However, ETH is trading very close to its 2021 all‑time high, so near‑term upside may be volatile and hinge on continued ETF flows and macro stability; a failed breakout would keep range risk intact.

My tactical stance is to accumulate on weakness with disciplined position sizing, trim into strength, and use clear stop‑losses — a medium‑to‑long‑term constructive view but not without significant risk.
