Why do you think ETH was not able to make a new All time high?

[Azharul]

I don’t think it’s because of the proof-of-stake Protocol that they did; it’s just that there was a lot of competition that made it harder for ETH to grow. A lot of people have already experienced the struggle of having that high gas fee, and it might have led other people to just go with another chain.

They've given so much control when they move to POS, and makes Ethereum more centralized that's why some investors decided not to go with them anymore. And it's supposed to solved that problem of gas prices, but it didn't. With that, there could be investors that are disappointment with their transition that it's obvious that it didn't gain any traction. And we might say that after that, and with a lot of supposedly more development in the pipeline, it just make Ethereum worst.

Obviously, I think that you could express a best opinion in your comment. Ethereum is the second level profitable crypto in cryptocurrency world. If we follow in cryptocurrency market, we can see that bitcoin price is also down in cryptocurrency market. We know that when bitcoin price will down, then ethereum and other cryptocurrency also be down. If we follow in cryptocurrency market we can see that ethereum price is $1881. But i think that within a short time ethereum price reach $2000. I also believe that in this year ethereum price reach $2500, which will be best profitable source for us.

I think you correlate Ethereum price to Bitcoin, which is not the case in this cycle. We have seen the Bitcoin has a new all time high, while Ethereum is -60% down still from it's all time high from last cycle which is $4800. So it will take to double the price obviously to just even get closer to it's all time high. But if we look at it's movement, it might be very hard to accomplished it. Not saying that it can't be done, but the chances are getting small specially that we have entered another quarter.

Actually, you could express a correct decision in your comment. But i want to understand for down reason in ethereum price in cryptocurrency market. Obviously if we follow in cryptocurrency market we can see that ethereum price is remain best down level in this time, but our expectation didn’t sufficient in this reason. So i believe that within a shot time ethereum price increase in cryptocurrency market, which will be very important issue for all crypto users.

pos switch is killing them.  now that musky trumpeter and Putin have agreed to melt the icecaps and fight over Iceland and Canada Mr v's switch looks like a brutal mistake.

As you can see, many people do not agree with this opinion. But personally, I do agree with it. If no one gets any profit from ETH but the team, then many people are likely to abandon it. I stopped investing in ETH for the last two years already, and I do not plan to invest a single dollar in the near future if nothing changes.

Also, the number of competitors has increased. Now, people are looking for better ROI. For steady ROI, they have Bitcoin already.

I have also stopped investing in ethereum this season, because I am more focused on solana, XRP and BNB. based on my observations and analysis ethereum seems to have difficulty showing good progress in the crypto market. And I prefer coins that have good movements such as solana and XRP for the trading that I do.

The decision to switch to other assets that are more active in their motion is rational in the unpredictability of the crypto world. Sometimes, if we think that some of the assets are not giving the desired results in some particular period, then in search of more potentialities, we always feel more secure and comfortable. We prefer to deal with those coins that have calmer and more stable price fluctuations allowing to maximise the trading opportunities better. Determining the trends of movement and selecting the assets that will be beneficial for the given approach is one more stage to achieve better outcomes.

There's a lot of issues internally with Ethereum, they still can't solved the high gas fees and then there is competition as well. So right now, it is not doing good as it reaches a critical level of $1500 and so as investors, we're shook at to what we are seeing as again everything is bleeding, altcoin market is down with no signs of recovery. $2k was the big support for quite a time until it was broken and the downfall continue. Good for those who have opted to get out early, but for those who believed that it can bounce back, they might have regret their decisions as they are now trap.

[LogitechMouse]

Yes, as the title says, I would like to know what you guys think about it. I believe the main reason is that ETH moved from POW to POS. I am not investing a single cent in ETH anymore. But believe me, A lot of people still believe in ETH and want to invest their money.

I guess the fact that it's still the top altcoin in terms of market cap is the reason why there are still investors that are still confident to buy Ethereum despite it's price movement in the past years.

I'm not a supporter of Ethereum although I'm holding a small amount of ETH, and if you will ask me, it's disappointing that Bitcoin did surpass $100,000 and reached as high as $109,000 while Ethereum on the other hand just reached $4,000 for a short amount of time, and it's a downhill on it ever since. Maybe we can include the pump.fun hype as one of the reason why Ethereum's price is going down for months, but overall, it is still disappointing.

I guess in the next bull run, it's time for me to shift my portfolio more into some other top altcoins out there and decrease my holdings on Ethereum.

Personally, I am thinking of exiting altcoins in the next season. I have already invested a lot, and I don't want to sell them at a loss. I am hoping to recover my current losses in the future and planning to exit the altcoin market. I have lost enough in altcoins to have no more faith. On the other hand, I have gained everything from Bitcoin.

So, I feel like I am unlucky with most of the altcoins, even with ETH even though I haven't invested in ETH for a while. I still own some ETH on my web3 wallet on layer2.

Keep calm mate, altcoin season has not arrived yet if you are still holding your top coins you should keep holding them until the market improves again and we see altcoin season. Bullish season is still long, currently we have only entered Q2 of this year. Many say altcoin season will occur in Q3 or Q4 of this year.

I think cryptocurrency market will more dump and it will continue till begaining of 2026.So Altcoin will also more down. And we also saw Bitcoin when dump then altcoin dump huge but when bitcoin price pump then Altcoin not pump like that. So now bitcoin dumping and Ethereum dumping more and more.
So i think within short time no any hope to increase Ethereum price. And it os so far to go new ATH for Ethereum. I think we have to wait long time to see new ATH.

It is also important to note that the crypto market is highly unpredictable and even drastic price swings give much to think about the existence of long term profitability. However it should also be noted that the prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to trend down at the current period, the prices might again turn back up due to some institutional buy, new regulation, or other technological breakthroughs geared towards the support of the prices. In other cases, there are periods of stagnation which are also a regular part of the cycle before an asset can rise again. Thus it is likely, that in the present state, everything seem rather pessimistic, but in near future there can be many fast changes.

bitcoin price has gone back up to $94K, and some altcoins are also starting to rise. I still have confidence that bitcoin price has the potential to touch ATH again this year.
I don't think we will have a bearish season anytime soon, because I think the bullish season will last long until the end of this year.

Although the price movement of ETH is quite slow, I still believe that Ethereum will still be able to reach a new ATH. Yesterday, the price of ETH dropped a lot, it was very concerning the rate of its price decline which was very drastic. However, now, along with the increasing price of BTC, the price movement of ETH is also quite good. Yes, although not as fast as Bitcoin or several other top altcoins. but there is some significant progress on ETH. And Ethereum's ATH was $4,891, and now the price is around $1.8k, it is still possible that there will really be an altcoin season.

[TomPluz]

There's a lot of issues internally with Ethereum, they still can't solved the high gas fees and then there is competition as well.

In my own humble views, though Ethereum remains to be the second in line after Bitcoin, it is losing the momentum it needs right now and principally due to failure to provide solutions to many challenges it is facing and then there is a strong competition from other crypto networks with better, lower transaction fees as well as faster turnover. I still believe in Ethereum but if I am a new crypto investor i would not give it a lot of focus as its growth is getting stagnant compared to other leading platforms. Hope that soon Ethereum can overcome this malady.

We are still in the second quarter of this year and have eight more months. Eight months is a lot of time. We can speculate a lot if we want, but I feel we might hit another ATH in Q3 or probably Q4. I expect an alt season at the end of this year, but if that does not happen, I still expect an alt season at the beginning of 2026.

But it's not like I do not expect a bearish season anytime soon. I am ready for anything because of Stupid Trump. He could actually do anything and a Good market can suddenly move 360 degree in a few hours.

No sweat at all! I'm not losing any sleep over a bunch of "what ifs." I've got a good feeling this altseason is still in the cards, and ETH? Well, it's not going to be left in the dust, in fact, I reckon it'll keep calling the shots just like the good old days.

The dough flowing into those spot ETH ETFs and the whales just keep on gobbling up more – those are the early birds we're keeping an eye on to keep holding and wait for ETH's next big splash. Sure, there's always a bit of a rumble in the jungle with competition, but I don't see SOL snatching ETH's crown as the altseason hype man anytime soon.

[densuj]

Well in my personal oppinion ethereum will make new all time high again, if there is new catalyst related ethereum, unfortunately for today corporation still buying bitcoin than ethereum when corporation starting buying second biggest crypto (ethereum) then altcoin season is starting going up.
The question for now is when? Well i don't when alt season will be started, but there are not alt coin season if the ethereum is not going up in the price.
