This has been ETH's best 3-month stretch of gains in the last 4 years (+142% from its April low), not seen since the July->Oct 2021 rally where it reached a new ATH.

I try to stay optimistic without letting euphoria get in the way, as I own a good amount of it. But I've also seen what happens when euphoria and FOMO drive a market price, and Eth is no exception. Historically, its steepest rises have been met with sharp corrections. Eth doesn't seem to be a big fan of "plateauing" for long.

I'm not going to pretend to use the past to predict what is coming, as institutional adoption have been spearheading this bull market over the past year. But I'd imagine the 4k to 4.2k range will have some serious volatility.

you have not seen fomo yet.
this month that has gone by is nothing compared to full throbbing fomo.

I mean, I was here through 2020-2021, I remember exactly what fomo looks like with regards to alts. Even in that bullrun, if Eth rising 75% in two weeks, or rising 127% in three months from July->October doesn't count for an asset with a marketcap in the hundreds of billions, then I don't know what does.

We're in the midst of one such period right now, with Eth up 50% in just barely 2 weeks' time.

I'm not saying bigger moves aren't possible, considering BTC only recently gained a +17% marketcap gain in barely a month (which amounts to over half of Eth's entire cap).

But it isn't wrong to be weary with huge jumps in price when the non-crypto markets are still teetering on instability.
