What's the real catalyst that could push ETH higher in the current market? Sometimes it's not just one factor—institutional flows, macro sentiment, or network fundamentals like Shanghai upgrade momentum all play a role. The question is which one hits first and how hard. Any thoughts on what the actual trigger might be?

Still analyzing Uniswap's depth data at 3 a.m., institutional inflows and macro sentiment are all false signals. The real trigger must be hidden within the liquidity gaps.

To be honest, institutional entry is always the most aggressive, and that's what can truly create market movements. Macro sentiment and the like are just accessories.

Honestly, no one can say for sure right now... Institutional funds, macro sentiment, and technical aspects are all mixed together. The Shanghai wave, which happened a while ago, is already in the past. I think it still depends on how the macro side shifts.

To be honest, the hype about institutional funds is overblown. I think whether the market can be driven up still depends on macro factors. Don't just keep shouting about Shanghai upgrade; if it had already happened, people would have forgotten long ago.

To be honest, we've already experienced the Shanghai upgrade wave. Now it's about whether institutions are really putting in real money... Otherwise, it's all for nothing.

Honestly, no one can really predict when it will explode... Institutional entry, macro trends, and network updates all need to align; having just one isn't enough.

To be honest, institutional entry is the real trump card; all the macro aspects are just illusions.

It really depends on institutional inflows to get moving first; macro is too volatile right now... But I think we still need to look at the fundamentals of ETH itself. After Shanghai, there's nothing particularly new.
