How to Understand Ethereum’s Structure for Better Trades?

Just like gold often moves in strong trends, which makes it easier to trade during those times — I’m wondering how to approach Ethereum. ETH seems to constantly shift trends. Right now it’s in a strong uptrend, but it’s not always like this. So my question is: What is the core structure or behavior of Ethereum that a trader must understand to trade it effectively?

Any insights or tips would be appreciated
