I think a lot of people believe in ethereum. Market forces seems to favour ethereum. Though the market is bearish right now,I think ethereum will pick quick pace once the market go high.
The global economy is having a hard time getting back on its feet, so it's highly unlikely ETH or any other cryptocurrency will reach higher market prices during the remainder of 2022. Not even "The Merge" will help ETH go all the way to $4k within the short term. We should take this opportunity to accumulate as much ETH as possible before the market turns bullish again. As long as you don't go crazy putting their life savings into ETH, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts

with Hours left? I still don't see that this merging will help Crypto specially Ethereum for this event , and there are even thread created hours ago about the sentiment of the people in this merging yet the answers or the vote in the poll are negative.
so I think there are nothing big coming in Ethereum even in the end of 2022.
sorry for the hopeful but this is how i see the market of ETH will come in the coming days and weeks.
