Everyone can only make predictions because the certainty is very difficult to guess because the situation is always moving quickly, either increasing or decreasing.
I totally agree, ethereum is the best altcoin to date. If there is an increase, then it is certain that all altcoins will also be able to move to increase, but you do need to be patient because it takes time and is still quite long for this year and be patient for that.
Some folks think SOL or XRP could replace ETH and lead the market into altseason, but I'm not convinced. Their market caps are still quite small, and each token has its own issues: Sol's not stable yet, and XRP's ecosystem isn't big enough. Only ETH, with its strong, diverse, and stable ecosystem, can lead the market trend after the BTC price stabilizes at a higher range.
Right now, with doubts about the macroeconomic future and ETH price's poor performance, investors might make rash decisions, like selling off ETH to try out other exciting tokens. I'm not giving investment advice, but I believe if crypto grows, ETH won't be left behind.
