Price was checked at $4,200 during a market downturn.

A sharp, quick dip below $4,000 (potentially to the $3,500-$3,900 range) is predicted, which is viewed as a significant buying opportunity.

A foundational Layer 1 blockchain whose primary challenge of being slow and expensive is being solved by Layer 2 solutions, shifting the investment thesis to applications built on top of it rather than the base layer itself.

Held on corporate balance sheets alongside Bitcoin, providing a new source of demand and institutional validation that can be seen as a de-risking factor for investors.

Considered to be in a 'bounce area' at the bottom of its trading range, presenting a short-term long trade opportunity towards the $4,400 resistance level.

Mentioned as a major token that has not yet hit its all-time high for this cycle, suggesting significant upside remains.

Considered a core 'major' to hold for long-term exposure, but faces a neutral outlook due to the significant question of how value will be split between the L1 and the L2s built on top of it.

Identified as a primary beneficiary of the market rotation away from Bitcoin, with ETF flows shifting towards it. Positioned to potentially outperform Bitcoin as the 'altcoin season' progresses.
