Market Sentiment vs. Reality
Since entering the fourth quarter, a suppressed mood has emerged within the Ethereum ecosystem. Since the launch of this year's spot ETF, ETH's price performance has failed to meet market expectations, due to multiple factors.

The four-year cycle theory has undergone transformation in the Bitcoin market. Despite the weakening of the halving effect, the market still maintains support.
