Trump's China visit a boom to ETH: Can ETH break higher after reclaiming key momentum?

Ethereum is at a crossroads: trading near $2,250 while broader risk-on conditions—driven by Bitcoin reclaiming the $80,000 area and strength in equities like Nvidia—are supporting crypto markets. The article argues ETH’s next move depends on whether institutional flows and ETF demand broaden beyond Bitcoin, and whether DeFi and on‑chain activity continue to expand. Analysts see a conditional upside: if BTC sustains >$80k and equity liquidity remains supportive, ETH could stage a delayed breakout; if risk appetite fades or ETF inflows cool further, ETH may simply consolidate. Infrastructure developments (CME’s planned Nasdaq Crypto Index futures) and stablecoin/DeFi growth are highlighted as key structural catalysts.
