What’s happening in the market right now is purely a stalling tactic. In fact, since 2022, they’ve initiated an entirely new cycle. The real reason they’ve left $ETH behind while $BTC rises is precisely to exert pressure on altcoins. Under normal circumstances, even the corpse of #ETH should have long since reached the 5,700 level. Thanks to this strategy, they’ve gained roughly five years either way you look at it. Looking at the charts, I don’t see these coins as declining assets; rather, I view them as values merely waiting for their time. Likely, in 2027, they’ll fully open the door for altcoins, and that’s when real capital will flow into the base. For them, pushing prices higher is the easiest part—but unfortunately, global macroeconomic and political conditions are also entering the equation, directly impacting this cyclical process.
