and being unstoppable ? well wait for Bitcoin to act as that then we will see Ethereum to be following .
yes, Bitcoin will probably start moving after the halving and maybe the effects can be very visible in the next year. This is just my speculation, looking at the several halvings that have occurred, the impact did not occur immediately at that time. so the market will need a process to make positive movements.
if that happens of course there will be support from Bitcoin for ETH, and maybe even more altcoins will get a positive impact.
It could be a possibility but the way Bitcoin has performed post ETF, I feel it will continue to move in the same manner through out this year. I agree that Ethereum won't reach its previous ATH this year and mostly it will happen next year.
People say the same thing about bitcoin despite the ETF approval that bitcoin won't reach its ATH this year but look at it now. Bitcoin made an all-time high even before the halving, which has never happened before. This cycle is unique, and I think ETH can also make an all-time high this year after the approval of the ETH ETF. A large number of ETH are already locked in various LSD protocols, so the circulating supply is quite low. I think there will be a supply shock in the ETH price when Blackrock starts accumulating ETH.
