You make some good points! Ethereum’s price definitely moves differently from Bitcoin since Bitcoin leads the market. The $3,000 to $4,000 increase was solid, but like you said, many holders took profits, which slowed further growth.
I agree—Ethereum is great for holding long-term because of its ecosystem and dominance among altcoins. Bitcoin, though, is still the go-to for stability and reliable growth in bull runs. It really depends on your strategy—are you more into holding or looking for quicker returns?
