In my view, it is currently an opportune time to invest in Ethereum. If market conditions are still in a corrective phase rather than showing upward trends indicative of a bull run or altseason, it suggests that Ethereum may still have room for growth. Considering the potential for market recovery and a subsequent bull run, it is likely that the price of Ethereum could surge significantly, potentially reaching new all-time highs. Investing in Ethereum now could result in substantial profits. Employing a strategy of Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) by regularly investing in Ethereum, especially during price dips, may prove beneficial.
everyone will certainly think the same as what you said, that investing in ethereum is still the best for altcoins. because so far it is the best compared to other altcoins. ethereum has given trust to date by always moving in tandem with whatever bitcoin is doing, so ethereum is something that is very superior. if later bitcoin can increase significantly it will also be carried out by ethereum, you can see at the moment where there is a correction or movement then it would be no different from what happened with bitcoin. 
If it has been targeted by the SEC, of course this will be difficult for Ethereum and can cause the price of Ethereum to be negatively affected and even dumped.
If you want to invest in Ethereum, just wait for a moment, especially since Ethereum has not received good news yet. If Ethereum already has good news, then that the time to buy.
