PANews February 24th News, F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun posted on X platform in response to recent cryptocurrency market cycle fluctuations, stating that Ethereum once dropped to $1,386 in April 2025, but rebounded to $4,956 just four months later. He emphasized that the market is cyclical and investors should not be swayed by short-term panic. Additionally, Wang Chun pointed out that the proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism is Bitcoin’s “constitution,” and the mining mechanism and miners’ core role in Bitcoin network governance should be respected. Without miner support, SegWit activation would be difficult, and the Lightning Network would also be hard to realize. Miners are an essential force in maintaining Bitcoin network security and stability, having played key roles in multiple controversial events, including the hash power battles surrounding Bitmain, Roger Ver’s fork stance, the Satoshi Nakamoto identity controversy sparked by Craig Wright, and the BIP-110 proposal, which some community members viewed as a farce.

Why Does Ethereum Price "Rise with Bitcoin but Ignore Fundamentals"? Bitwise Reveals: 65% of Price Movement Determined by Bitcoin
Bitwise's research indicates that Ethereum's price movements are primarily driven by Bitcoin and macroeconomic liquidity, with relatively weak influence from on-chain fundamentals. The model shows that Bitcoin volatility can explain 65% of Ethereum's volatility, while accommodative monetary conditions and ETF fund flows also contribute to Ethereum's price. The current market views Ethereum as a "network commodity," and its price movements in the short term may still be dominated by Bitcoin and the liquidity environment.

Citi significantly lowers Bitcoin and Ethereum target prices, with policy delays constraining upside potential
Citigroup has lowered its 12-month target prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum to $112,000 and $3,175 respectively, mainly due to the slower-than-expected progress of U.S. policy initiatives. Although the target prices have been reduced, both assets still have room for upward movement. The market's diminished expectations for demand growth make the sustainability of capital inflows a critical factor. If regulatory conditions improve, the target prices may be raised; otherwise, the downward adjustment will be justified.
