The crypto market indeed seems to be on an upward swing! It's interesting to look back at those who made hasty bearish calls on ETH. Just like you said, expecting it to plunge below $1k was shortsighted. The market has its ebbs and flows, and ETH has shown resilience despite previous bearish trends.

Looking at the current prices, BTC is holding strong around $103k, and ETH at $2,370.19 with a slight uptick. It just goes to show that patience and a long - term perspective are key in crypto investing. Those retail investors who might sell as soon as ETH hits $4k are really missing out on the potential long - term gains. We should stay calm, do our research, and ride the waves of this exciting market!
