Neutral
Even though record Ethereum ETF inflows and ongoing institutional accumulation dey support bullish sentiment, muted price action near $4,100 and weakening on-chain metrics mean say short-term upside limited.

This balanced mix of strong demand and careful trading conditions dey lead to neutral market view.
