Ethereum holds $2,495 and trades near $2,562 ahead of CPI and options expiry
- —Ether's 24-hour low was $2,495.93, high $2,567.88
- —Market cap $312.9 billion, 24-hour turnover $9.83 billion
- —ETH is 48.2% below its $4,946.05 peak; BTC is 33.4% below its own
- —Friday's expiry covers $247.5 million in ETH options and $1.25 billion in BTC
Why it matters: Holding $2,495 confirms demand at the round number, but Wednesday's CPI and Friday's expiry could sharply amplify ETH volatility this week.
