Ethereum remains near the upper end of its $2,370–2,550 range, but institutional demand through ETFs has lost considerable momentum. U.S. inflation data could now become the main catalyst for a breakout.

U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs ended the August 31–September 4 week with $218.4 million in net inflows, extending their positive streak to three consecutive weeks.
The pace of demand, however, slowed sharply. A week earlier, the funds attracted a 2026 record of $824.42 million, meaning weekly inflows fell by roughly 73%. ETF trading volume also declined to $4.1 billion from $6.3 billion the previous week. Institutional demand remains positive, but it is no longer providing the same level of momentum seen in late August.
This week, attention shifts to inflation. The CPI report is due on September 11, with consensus expectations pointing to headline inflation accelerating to 0.4% month over month from 0.1% previously, while the annual rate is expected to remain near 3.4%.
Following the strong jobs report, the market-implied probability of a September Fed rate hike rose to around 58–60%. A hotter-than-expected CPI reading could push expectations even further toward tightening and renew pressure on crypto.
Ethereum remains trapped below $2,550
ETH continues to trade in the upper portion of the previously highlighted $2,370–2,550 range, but a convincing breakout has yet to occur.
To confirm the next short-term move, the price needs to establish itself beyond either boundary of the consolidation. A daily close above $2,550 would increase the probability of further upside toward the next liquidity zone at $2,600–2,700.
If buyers once again fail to clear $2,550 and ETH moves deeper back into the range, attention would gradually shift toward $2,370. A sustained move below this support would be a more significant bearish signal and open the way toward $2,200.
Inflation data could finally force a range breakout
Positive ETF flows continue to support medium-term demand for Ethereum, but the sharp slowdown in inflows makes this factor considerably weaker than it was a week earlier. At the same time, the market is entering the most important macroeconomic week ahead of the September 15–16 Fed meeting.
The September 11 CPI report could therefore provide the catalyst ETH needs to finally break out of its current range.
