I do think that Ethereum will pump soon. Of course it all depends on Bitcoin price too but they not always correlate 100%. For Ethereum to pump Bitcoin price should just go up. That's it. It's not necessary for Bitcoin to pump, it's enough if it will be just rising up. Ethereum may lagging behind for sometime but overall it performs better than Bitcoin.
You're right, almost all of crypto currency will depend on bitcoin performance.
If bitcoin pump, Ethereum and other altcoins will pump..That's the fact,
By seeing the current market, we see bitcoin is struggling now.
Better to prepare buy more several potential coins for hold, include Ethereum and polygon matic.
bitcoin has indeed become the first and highly seeded because as you said that bitcoin is really expected by all altcoins, because the movement of bitcoin clearly affects all altcoins. if at this time bitcoin there was a continuous correction then all altcoins were also affected and no one could avoid the influence of bitcoin.
agree with you, currently bitcoin is struggling to get back up again, of course, we are also prepared to hold potential coins on hold. ethereum and BNB are probably the most prominent ones to hold on to seeing last year which was able to rise sharply, it is likely that this year will also be able to make another surprise.
but ethereum could come as a surprise if this year's eth2.0 actually finishes with its launch, because the changes will make so many changes that investors will continue to seek and hold on to it.
