The shaded band shows the range of outcomes the model calculates, not a single prediction. Each labeled
line is a percentile of that distribution.
The median (P50) is the calculated middle path: half of modeled outcomes fall above it, half below. The
inner band, between P25 and P75, holds half of all calculated outcomes. The outer limits, P5 and P95,
bound the 90% probability density layer, leaving 5% of modeled outcomes beyond each edge.
A wider band further out reflects greater uncertainty over longer horizons. These are modeled
probabilities, not guarantees. Past performance doesn't guarantee accuracy.

Ethereum's ETF debut collides with a static ceiling. & Analysis underpinning the 10-Year HMX 1.75 Probabilistic Forecast
The dominant story for Ethereum over the next two months is the imminent launch of its spot ETFs, expected around July 15, and whether the fresh institutional access can finally push price through a stubborn $1,800 resistance. Early signs are mixed but tilting positive: after weeks of punishing outflows, the funds have seen several consecutive days of modest inflows, telegraphed by a fiercely competitive fee war led by Grayscale's 0.15% price tag. The macro backdrop is less helpful. Renewed US-Iran tensions and a hawkish tilt in Federal Reserve minutes are applying a general brake on risk assets, while on-chain activity on Ethereum itself has contracted, decoupling from the recent price rebound. The coming window matters because it represents the first real test of whether ETF demand can sustain itself after the initial launch hype fades, or if it gets drowned out by a broader risk-off shift.
The ETF fee war is a race to the bottom
Grayscale kicked it off with a 0.15% fee for its Ethereum Mini Trust, a move that instantly pressured every other issuer and signaled that the battle for assets will be fought on cost. This isn't just about undercutting each other; it's about attracting the sticky, long-term institutional capital that tends to flow toward the cheapest product. With a target launch around mid-July, the fee competition has shifted the narrative from whether the ETFs will launch to how they'll compete once they're live. The initial inflows, while small, suggest some allocators are already picking sides based on these economics. The next two months will show if low fees alone can drive meaningful net inflows against a jittery macro climate.
$1800 isn't just a number, it's a magnet
Every time Ethereum approaches $1,800, it gets slapped down. That level coincides with the 50-day moving average, a critical technical line that traders watch for trend confirmation. More consequentially, the options market has built a massive concentration of open interest at the $1,800 strike for near-term contracts. This creates a sort of gravitational pull, as market makers hedge their positions, often suppressing volatility and pinning price near that level. Until a decisive, high-volume break occurs, this options positioning acts as a cap. The recent double-bottom pattern and 12% weekly rebound show underlying buyer interest, but it's all been contained within this $1,700-$1,800 range for weeks.
Lean Ethereum and the four-year clock
Vitalik Buterin's new 'Lean Ethereum' roadmap, a multi-year plan aiming to overhaul the protocol's core architecture, got a lot of attention. For the medium term, however, its main effect is psychological. It sets a long-term vision that reassures institutional investors about Ethereum's continued evolution and relevance, which matters for the ETF pitch. More immediately, the Glamsterdam upgrade is entering final testing, with parallel transaction processing and higher gas limits slated for later this year. That's a tangible, near-term catalyst for network capacity. But in the two-month window, these development stories are more about providing a supportive narrative floor than driving immediate price action.
The macro friction is real
It's easy to get lost in Ethereum's internal dynamics and forget that crypto still trades as a risk asset. The Federal Reserve's recent minutes revealed a hawkish tilt, with officials projecting at least one more rate hike this year, which keeps upward pressure on the dollar and rates. Simultaneously, the collapse of the US-Iran ceasefire and subsequent military exchanges have reintroduced a geopolitical risk premium, spiking oil and inflation fears. This combination is a classic headwind for speculative assets. Ethereum's recent resilience in the face of this is notable, but it's a persistent drag that could easily overwhelm the nascent ETF inflows if tensions escalate or inflation data surprises to the upside.
Whale rotations and TVL divergence
On-chain data shows whales moving capital from older meme coins into newer Ethereum-based DeFi projects, a minor but interesting rotation within the ecosystem. More significantly, Ethereum's Total Value Locked is now outpacing its Fully Diluted Valuation, a rare dynamic that suggests the network's organic utility is growing faster than its purely speculative valuation. This divergence between utility and price is a positive long-term signal, but it's a slow-moving one. In the two-month timeframe, it's a background factor that supports the 'this is cheap' thesis for institutions, rather than a direct price catalyst.
HMX 1.75 Forecast chart for Ethereum: about 4 years of recorded history on the left, a 2 years probability fan on the right. Over that 4 years window the price was extremely volatile, advanced 34% from about $1340 to a window high near $4780, with a deepest peak-to-trough drawdown of roughly 67%. Price now stands near $1800, around 62% off the window peak, and relative to the projection it lies below the 1 year P25, which the model reads as potential undervaluation. Over the coming 2 years the central (median) estimate points to a gain of ~19%, landing near $2150. The P5 to P95 range is roughly 103% of the median with the band widening over the horizon. At the horizon the downside (P5) sits near $1270, about 30% below the current price, and the upside (P95) near $3470, about 93% above it. Overall the spread is upside-skewed (a fatter tail toward higher prices).

Model Description
HMX 1.75 is the current production release of the Heatmup forecasting engine. It operates as an equally weighted baseline: every model in the ensemble pool contributes equally to the final distribution, regardless of individual track record. The output is a probability distribution over future price and time for each covered asset, rendered as a heatmap. Percentile bands (P5 to P95) capture 90% of modeled outcomes. Every generated distribution is archived with an immutable ID and public timestamp and resolved later against the realized market price. HMX 1.75 is not an AI system under the EU AI Act; it is a deterministic quantitative aggregation engine.

Methodology
HMX aggregates outputs from a proprietary pool of independent quantitative models operating in strict isolation. Each model produces discrete predictions (date, target price, probability) without visibility into the others. The HMX engine combines these inputs using time-decay weighting, which prioritizes recent data, into a single probability distribution per asset. The process is deterministic: identical inputs produce identical outputs. No machine learning is applied at inference. HMX 1.75 uses equal weighting, meaning every model in the pool contributes equally regardless of historical track record. Accuracy-weighted calibration, where model influence is proportional to resolved performance, is scheduled for HMX 2.0 in September 2026.

What is the 1-year HMX 1.75 probabilistic forecast for Ethereum July 2026?
Ethereum 1-year-forecast median is $2020 ($1480 to $3080), upside-skewed. HMX 1.75 Forecast chart for Ethereum: about 4 years of recorded history on the left, a 1 year probability fan on the right. Over that 4 years window the price was extremely volatile, rose 34% from about $1340 to a window high near $4780, with a deepest peak-to-trough drawdown of roughly 67%. Today the price is approximately $1800 (about 62% under the window high); on the forecast it sits below the 1 year P25, which the model reads as potential undervaluation. Looking forward, the median path trends upward of about 12% over the next 1 year, ending near $2020. The P5 to P95 range is roughly 80% of the median with the band widening over the horizon. At the horizon the downside (P5) sits near $1480, about 18% below the current price, and the upside (P95) near $3080, about 71% above it. Overall the spread is upside-skewed (a fatter tail toward higher prices). One caveat: the median rises to about 2150 before easing roughly 8%, so the path is a spike-and-retrace rather than a clean trend, a sign of divergence between the underlying inputs.

('Calibration of HMX 1.75 is measured by assigning each resolved forecast to the percentile band containing its realized price, defined as the OHLC4 midpoint of the resolving bar, and aggregating these assignments across all covered assets and dates into a probability integral transform (PIT) histogram. All published metrics derive from this histogram and the computation is deterministic. Reported metrics are the calibration slope and intercept, Expected and Maximum Calibration Error (the latter equal to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance on the PIT under this binning), prediction interval coverage for the central fifty and ninety percent intervals, reduced chi-square PIT uniformity, and interval sharpness. These are summarized in the Market Intelligence Score, a proprietary Heatmup composite on a zero to one hundred scale that weights calibration error, tail behaviour, calibration slope, distributional uniformity, and sharpness; it is not an industry standard, and its normalization functions are published with the scoring code so the composite is auditable. The current figures describe the equally weighted baseline over the live resolved-forecast window to date and are computed by Heatmup Oy. The underlying resolved-forecast data and scoring code are published so the metrics can be independently reproduced and verified. Measurement of calibration is distinct from a representation that the output is calibrated or guaranteed; the score is a diagnostic.
