Looking at the trend in this chart, people's interest in Ethereum might have truly sparked a bull market if it hadn't been abruptly interrupted on 10/11. But all the 'what-ifs' are meaningless now. The macro events at the time (like tariff-related issues) + exchange liquidity problems + leverage liquidation chain reactions + brief stablecoin depegging and network congestion, etc. Everything hit all at once. Reaching the level of excitement from the last bull market is something you can't force—it just happens.
