Historical patterns suggest liquidity injections directly correlate with crypto price surges, with the 2019 QT pause triggering an altcoin rally and the 2022 QT initiation coinciding with market peaks.

Ethereum (ETH) is consolidating just 4% below its 2021 all-time high of $4,878, with Standard Chartered raising its year-end target to $7,500 and projecting $25,000 by 2028. The bullish outlook is fueled by $1 billion in daily Ethereum ETF inflows (totaling $8.2 billion YTD) and U.S. regulatory advancements like the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, which could boost liquidity. Institutional adoption is growing, with public companies holding 865,000 ETH, while analysts like VirtualBacon suggest ETH could hit $6,000-$7,000 if Bitcoin rallies and ETH clears $4,850 resistance. ETH currently trades at $4,636, up 4.3% in 24 hours.
