ethereum is showing more strength lately but i think it’s too early to say it will fully move on its own without bitcoin.. the market is still connected but what’s different now is ethereum has real use cases like defi & staking that keep demand alive even when bitcoin slows down.. so maybe this season we will see it acting more independently but it will still be influenced by bitcoin’s direction

Being a proof of stake doesn't change that much with its use case. Many projects still uses it and I think that the foundation that it has set has made it even better. The use cases were never gone and it's still good as it was. The dominance that it has got in the altcoin market is still good. And no matter what we see on it that it's getting better, I agree that it still needs Bitcoin when it moves. Because without it, we'll mostly seeing another affection that it has got directly and the movement of it will be slower.
