I just bought ETH @ $2300 in my brokerage account after funds cleared.
The ISM PMI data (business cycle) has been released for January 2026. It reads 52.6%, which indicates economic expansion. This level has not been reached since August 2022 and it is the highest level reached during the contraction phase since then. All riskier risk-on asset classes like Russell 2000, S&P600 small caps, and crypto go on a bull run when PMI breaks above 50 and keeps surging towards 60.
The only way this thesis fails is if manufacturing doesn't sustain this uptrend or the correlation and causation fail to continue. A thriving business cycle means bull run. This is based on factual data, not opinion or subjective interpretation of patterns.

ETH need a huge price momentum to reverse this cycle!

I would exercise caution. It is far more likely that the manipulators that be are going to move us down to 2100 again to get rid of those LONGS which are much closer than anything up.

I don't ask myself how I lose them, but how I don't earn on ETH! In the sense that it seems like a stablecoin that always stays in the same ranges.

and these comments are stupid because I surely have been doing this longer than you and have much more skin in the game than you. Have you been buying since 2017 and hold 818 ETH? Didnt think so.

Oh, yes it was. In 2020-2021 it was so cool to "invest" in crypto. The price was up all the time. The only excitement was whether ETH is up today "only" 10 % or 20 %. There were several days in a row with double digit price increases. You don't see that anymore.
It was cool as heck. Back in the day (early 2021) my only problem was that the local liquire store wasn't selling Champagne expensive enough for me to burn even a smal portion of my daily gains. I was constantly buying USD 100 Champagne bottles to celebrate the price of ETH going up. It was partying 24/7. And the price kept going up. It was wild.

Anyone here been attending the Stateless Implementers Calls? I've seen the meeting links and agendas posted, but not much in the way of meeting minutes or discussion in #state-tree-migration on the ETH R&D Discord. Any interesting developments or goals in this area to share?

Yeah I’d say you’re definitely right. It’ll be interesting now as we see more institutional adoption of ETH that’s going to change the avg profile of eth investors quite a bit

Let’s face it though, the majority of people in crypto just wanna make a quick 2x or 3x. For them the price of ETH doesn’t matter, it could be 2k or 10k, it’s the return relative to when they bought it.
People would rather buy ETH at 4k when everyone thinks its going to 5k then at 2k when everyone thinks its going to 1k.

Tokenization doesn't mean that the price of ETH keeps up. ETH price can go down and the system will still work.

I started dcaing into stocks a year ago. I am up 40%. In the meantime ETH is down 33% over tha last year. The world is upside down. Everything behaves like a shitcoin.

Honestly, BTC at 5-10 years, you're probably fine. I'd personally split future buys between BTC and some other solid stuff like SOL, or SEI, even ETH, for more upside potential, but that's just me

Weeding out the loser coins down to just a few for their new World Order Currency. Now which ones will they choose? BTC, ETH, or WLFI?

I find it hard to believe that basically all of my stocks (besides 2) are higher than before the dip. And my stockportfolio in general is higher than before and ETH is about 1k (exaggerated) less. Insane.

BitMine deepens Ethereum bet with 41,788 ETH buy, ramps up staking

Fair point, but macro risks are far too high atm. I would not touch any ETH right now considering the global economical mess. If Bitcoin falls harder, which is a real possibility, ETH will melt sub 1K.

This is the shittiest part about being an investor.
If ETH were at $5k right now, people would be dreaming about the chance to buy at $2,000 or $2,200. They’d be saying things like “man, if it ever goes back there again, I’m loading up.” But because it’s actually sitting around $2,200 today, people are talking about selling everything, rage quitting, and exiting the space entirely.
That disconnect is exactly why doing well as an investor is so freaking hard. The psychology is brutal. Your brain tells you the thing you wanted at higher prices is suddenly garbage just because it’s cheaper. And frankly, this game is not for everyone. Period.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that the space is dead. Nobody knows for sure. Anyone who says they do is lying. But really think about it for a second. Don’t you believe there would have to be some kind of massive catalyst for the entire crypto space to just completely go up in smoke? Something far bigger than a sell-off or ugly price action?
At this point, at least Bitcoin and Ethereum are fairly established assets. They’re not some random meme coins that popped up last cycle. Everyone obviously needs to do what’s right for them and their situation, but it feels pretty silly to think these assets just end because of fear, macro noise, or another rough market flush.
That’s the part no one likes to sit through. But it’s also usually where the opportunity is.

ETH is really just going up $100 per year, it's just extremely volatile as it does so.

Solana base with ETH? Best of both.

Good day all, what a crash that has been over the last few days... woah!
Thought I would highlight on the crypto total market capital chart - you can see the we're back down to $2.6T globally, finally stepping away, crawling back from that $3T level which felt oh so forced
The last time Crypto MC was at $2.6T was in April 2025 (I vaguely remember seeing ETH go to like $1,300 here too lol)
If the total MC of crypto went to $2.6T in April 2025, surely it could mean this is not yet be the bottom, otherwise April 2025 would have been our bear market and the bottom
Honestly, my opinion only, but I am eyeing up the $2-2.2T MC mark for crypto, perhaps even a flurry into the $1.8-1.9T window for a brief moment of time
What do you guys think? Where does this all go next and what are your thoughts about the the bottom for the Crypto Total Market capital chart in 2026?
