I think that how many investors the market has, there will be as many opinions about the reasons for past price fluctuations and future price predictions ^^
In 2023, ETH has grown weaker than BTC, this is normal because BTC will recover first to lead the market, while top coins such as ETH, ADA, AVAX, BNB, SOL, XRP will recover later, when the uptrend is confirmed, usually after the halving. I believe that the recent price increase of ETH to over $2K is due to the positive impact of BTC's price increase.
ETH price prediction: I maintain the view that ETH will only create ATH after halving. ATH for ETH in next cycle, according to my subjective Elliott wave count, will be around $10K.
