for the past 6 years people have been dreaming about a big ethereum pump that never comes.

the 2017 was the last big pump of this altcoin that will never be repeated. if you check the charts, this shitcoin has been dumping ever since that peak against bitcoin (from 0.15 all the way down to 0.02).
even their desperate attempts at pumping it back in 2021 failed as they could only pump it slightly to 0.07 before it started dumping back down again to 0.05.

at this point the only possible way for ETH to reach $3k is for bitcoin to start rising hard and if you hope that ETH doesn't get dumped hard against bitcoin. that way bitcoin's price rise would increase ETH price in dollar.
but then why bag hold ETH and not convert it to bitcoin to get a bigger profit?
