There is currently 1 reason why ETH is difficult to rise. Since the eth system switched from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, ETH's golden age can be said to be over. The last 1 year ETH has experienced inflationary, where the tokens that are minted/printed are not comparable to the number of tokens that are burned. So that the total supply in circulation continues to increase.
in this cycle, for the first time ETH has not been able to print a new all-time high, even on the current chart it has dropped significantly, I think returning to $1000 is not impossible. Even if it gets there I am not sure if ETH will be able to reach a new ATH again.
However, there is 1 thing to look forward to, namely the hard fork pectra upgrade which will be completed soon. we'll just have to see how big the impact will be later.
