The worst thing about 2026 is not how the market is going to play out, but how people will react. The majority of crypto retail investors who are still here will want to quit when they find out that ETH won’t have a real breakout this time either only a sweep of previous highs, up to a maximum of 6,500–7,400, and then back down to under 2,100 June 2025 wick lows, and the real breakout comes in 2027 & 2028, pushing past 14k and even 20k, which will be one of the easiest 10x plays in history—if people don’t quit out of frustration.
