WETH breaking $1300 by month-end: a 60% probability in my book

Looking at the current macro backdrop and how some of the recent CPI prints have been received, there's a decent chance we see $WETH push past $1300 before the end of the month. We're currently hovering around $1200, which has proven to be a somewhat sticky level, but the broader sentiment seems to be shifting cautiously positive. While the Fed remains hawkish on the surface, the market is increasingly pricing in a pivot sooner than later, even if it's just a slowing of the pace of hikes. This provides a tailwind for risk assets, and crypto tends to be a higher-beta play on that sentiment.

The key risk, of course, is another unexpectedly hot inflation print or a truly strong hawkish message from Powell. However, given the recent trend of softening data, albeit gradual, I'd put the odds of a break above $1300 for $WETH by month-end at around 60%. It's not a slam dunk, and a rejection from just above current levels remains a distinct possibility if global equities pull back hard, but the path of least resistance seems to be leaning higher for now. Keep an eye on daily closes above $1220 as confirmation of momentum building.

While macro certainly plays a role, I'm more focused on the upcoming merge and how that might impact WETH. Are you baking in any of those technical catalysts?

It's interesting you're seeing a 60% probability for WETH to clear $1300. I'm curious what specific macro indicators outside of CPI are factoring into that assessment, particularly given the ongoing rate hike uncertainty.

That's an interesting take. I'm new to this, so I'm trying to understand the full picture. What indicators are you looking at that suggest this shift in broader sentiment, especially with the Fed still appearing hawkish?
