Since the article estimate say ETH exposure get direct valuation link (about +$100M per 1% ETH move), any ETH rebound fit turn into better equity sentiment and fit also support spot ETH demand.
At the same time, Tom Lee talk say macro/risk backdrop dey improve (ceasefire after Iran tensions, BTC above $72,000) and dem mention ETH-specific flows (spot ETF inflows, higher staking). Together, these factors dey lean toward stronger short-term buying pressure for ETH.
