ETH rose to 4300, why are many people still not making money?

Recently, Bitcoin has risen to 120,000, and Ethereum has risen to 4,300. Logically, the market should be bustling, but in reality, it feels a bit quiet. The reason is simple - a large number of people missed the opportunity, and many others are still holding onto altcoins they bought at a high price earlier, with their accounts still in the red.
The root of this situation is "inertial thinking." Over the past two years, the main players have used prolonged fluctuations and repeated downward strikes to wear out retail investors' confidence in ETH. Bitcoin has risen from 15,000 to 120,000, but ETH often rises a bit and then falls back, especially the significant drop in April this year has further convinced people that it is not viable. As a result, when ETH started to rebound from 1400, the market had generally given up on it, and any slight increase saw sellers emerge. When it rose from 1400 to 1800, there was a chorus of bearish voices; when it rose from 1800 to 2800, there were still calls for a significant drop, and eventually, doubt persisted all the way to 4300.
The problem is that many people only look at the current market situation to make judgments, or even completely use past performance to deny the future—ETH didn't outperform BTC in the past, so it won't in the future either. This is like "seeking a sword on a boat," forever trapped by the anchor points of history. But the essence of investment is to look to the future; those who often make real profits are the ones who lay out their positions before others see the opportunity.
In this market cycle, many people are focused on the SOL ecosystem, missing the opportunity with ETH. Another group of people stubbornly holds onto altcoins, watching ETH reach new highs while their own coins remain at last year's lows, and they start to doubt whether they made the wrong purchase. Thus, a new hesitation arises: should they sell their altcoins to buy ETH? They fear that if ETH corrects, the altcoins will also drop significantly.
The core issue is not whether "altcoins are viable," but whether one can understand where the next hotspot lies. Before Ethereum took off, the market was also filled with doubts; now, many voices disparaging altcoins may also be trapped by habitual thinking. If one does not break out of this mindset, they will repeatedly miss opportunities—those who get on board will always complain about being slow, and those that haven't risen will always be considered worthless.
Investment ultimately comes down to two things: first, understanding the market rhythm; second, selecting the right sectors and currencies with potential. BTC has already reached 120,000, and ETH has hit 4,300. The best opportunity for positioning at low levels has passed. To achieve low risk and high returns next, one must preemptively position for the next breakout point. Otherwise, when valuable currencies truly start to take off, you'll just be watching from the sidelines.
