Ethereum (ETH) requires a clear process if you want long-term results. Layer 1 assets are base networks, so they often move with broad crypto cycles and liquidity conditions. Alpha Factory classifies Ethereum as medium to high risk. Use this framework to stay consistent through volatility rather than reacting to short-term noise.
