now ETH have good movements, 100% grows in 5 day.
and price is 160$. and ETH have fork on 7 080 000 block. what you think about prices after fork. becouse after fork, new ethereums will only 2 in 1 block. and i think in future will hard to earn eth.

I suspect that this pumping was created to make money on this fork. Perhaps in the end of January, the hype will begin, and many buyers will come to the market. They will create liquidity for those sellers who are now pumping ethereum. Thus, at the end of January distribution will be likely, and then ether fall again.
Hope I'm wrong.

That would be nice. But it seems unlikely. But we must not forget that everything is possible in this market. The Ethereum is worth $ 1,000 in one blink...

only if bitcoins will cost $10k+ which is absolutely unreal
anyway you should keep in mind how price of ether depends on price of bitcoin and make your predictions based on that

I agree with a rally... but I think $300 or so is more realistic for a TOP TOP end prediction

Don't think about euphoria today. The huge increase in Ethereum in recent days is an artificial increase in prices for selling at a higher price. To do 800% per month on a single cryptocurrency in General a falling market - TALE. If the market does not start to grow you will not see such prices and as usual in anticipation of a better lose.

The next wave down again will drop bitcoin to$ 100, so it's time to fix such a good profit.

After speculation, the price of Ethereum may return to 500-600 dollars.

After launching Ethereum 2.0, the cost can rise to $ 2,000 in a few days. I think it will happen on February 5, 2019 for the Chinese New Year

I think it's very difficult to have such a big rise. 800 dollars is quite high compared to the current price and we cannot see such a price unless there is a real bull season. But it can still be invested.
We believe ethereums potential :)

it is difficult to reach $ 800 in a short time especially in January but I still believe eth will continue to pump until the hardfork actually arrives My speculation the price of Eth until January  $ 400 - $ 500

But I think that not only has Ethereum increased, I see the average market for green mice. And yes, that might be a factor from Hardfork which was held at the beginning of next year.

That would be wonderful! But most likely this will not happen !Waiting for the price to$300. Then again will fall!!

ETH is going back to $80.. There is no reason for pump the bulltrap is over whales are dumping and cashing out there money before new year..

Fork will not help for price pump..
Most of us are tired of forks.. Fork it pump it dump it.. That time is over we are not kids..
We are investors we don't jump on speculations we want real projects with useful apps.

Ethereum and the others need to come with real projects before the price crash to $10..

Today there is not 1 serious project or application what companies can use on blockchains of this crypto coins..

Ethereum price grow in good movements now,,
But, its hard to believe if next month eth price will reach $800 ,, in my opinion next month the most reasonable price for ethereum is between $400 - $500 my friend

That means the block reward will get 33% decrease from the previous reward and that should give the more impact to the price of ethereum too.
It will be so hard consider ethereum will move to the POW system dude. Just the matter of time.

Yes, I also think like you, isn't this too fast? because eth price now is below $ 200. With the current growth rate, the highest possible price for next month is around $ 400- $ 500, but dude "everything can be happen in crypto". It's may hard to believe, but it's not impossible for it to be happen.

Difficulty increases so expect that the hardship of earning ETH, bitcoin or any coin will happen. You can't just expect it to have an easier way to make money with a better price, you can go with some altcoins that doesn't have value you can get those coins easier.
$800 is possible but let's take few steps at a time, $250 - $300 is likely.

The whales is doing it great manipulating the price... One day we only see good news and a pump, 2 days after that we only see bad news and a dump, about the ethereum i think that it can return to 800, but in the long term.

After fork speculation, ETH will be only got dumped because of the holders already get the fork token (Bithereum). After that, they will start sell their ETH and it will make a market crash for ETH, which also happened to other tokens after Fork happened. The highest price for ETH only on before fork happened

It is down again guys because bitcoin is also getting dump too deep after it increased yesterday. I don't know about ethereum in January 2019, but I think ethereum can back increase to the higher price. We will see something in January; I wish that it will bring some good news for ethereum in the market so it can trigger the price to rise higher. But if it does not rise, then we need to be ready for the worst that might come because not all prediction can works as we think.

lots of coins on the market will increase at the start of the new year if Hardfork will be held in 2019, I think not only Ethereum will increase but other coins will also pump up the price to green. I hope that market growth at the beginning of the new year will increase and I am waiting for that year to arrive.

Most investors will dump eth after the fork..
We saw that with many coins in the past..
But the dump of eth already started..
Investors who bought for $80 are dumping right now..

Of course, all Ethereum holders are waiting for a hard fork and changes in remuneration for the block, because they understand that by reducing the emission of ETH coins, the offer on the market will decrease and this should have a positive effect on its price.

History repeats its history again, same cycle different time and different asset.
not surprising to see another shit kind of project popped out based on ETH and at the same time the price surged for more than 100%.
but, be prepared because they might push it back again just like before. if you are on position right now, set a rational target and when it reaches that target sell it immediately.
we have been seeing a lot of delays from them for a couple of years already, and it's not weird to see them postpone it again.

This fork is not generating a new coin and that has already mentioned in the past. The market was getting a big dump caused by bitcoin. Bitcoin is the main factor why a lot of coins are getting a huge dump too. If they can be independent and this will not happen.

pretty sure there will be plenty of those who thought they would get a new coin and dump once they realized they wouldn't

It seems to me that the price of ETH can grow very much in 2019, so you have to buy it while it is so cheap

Ethereum has done very well for the past few days and getting to January 2019 I believe that ethereum is going to grow and if we can buy now I do believe that it will hit $4000 to $500. The hardfork is really affecting the market and last week and this week we have seen great upwards movement.  Some speculators said ethereum will not touch $100 this year again when it fall to $78 in most of the popular exchange some weeks ago but ethereum went as high as $150 and it is still growing.  Remember that investing is risk and you should not put in money without adequate knowledge on how to invest and analyze Cryptocoins market.

I do not believe that the fork pushes the price of ethereum so far up. Although i also believe that it will have a positive effect on the price, but not so strong.

there are many many many things to come in the next year.. on Q1 many mainets of different projects will be deployed,.. i also read somehting about the lighting network of BTC... with so many competitors, ETH will have it difficult to rise so much in a month) will be more than 6x actual price.. but nothing is impossible in crypto!

That is huge rise to expect in less than a month so not very likely. At best, ETH could reach $200 - $300 in Jan 2019 and that too if the market stays bullish.

Unless Bitcoin sees a new rally in the next couple of weeks and alts can follow the surge in price, I don't see ETH reaching $800 anytime soon. The fork will not help to pump the price, and even if for some unknown reason the price goes up, it won't reach those levels.

We'll have to wait for a reversal in the market in order to see those prices again, and looking at how there's still a bearish sentiment surrounding the market, I doubt things will change in January, in fact, there's a change that prices will continue to plummet so you might want to lower your expectations.

Yes, this is more rational compared to $800 in a single month. If we are talking about the probability, everything is possible, but we need to understand that we are in the decline right now. The investors are very unlikely to risk their money for something like this,
unless we are seeing a good sign from the community or countries, our current market is very unlikely to change and everything will be on the decline again next year.

Obviously when there will be less number of eth generated on daily basis for the miners and less supply or less sellers in the market then buyers will tale control and buying pressure can take the price anywhere but i cannot predict the price, it can be 400 it can be 800 it can be 1200 it can be 2000 no one can know right now but definitely i think eth is going to be bullish due to this upgrade.

Yes it is a great perdition that eth will be $800 January guys. The light of good market has started ready in the market. However, I believe that by the ist week of January 2019 I will laugh for joy when ETH is above $800 I can wait to witness it.

To tell you the truth, the $800 figures are a bit imaginable in a very short time. Maybe it can come to the end of the year 2019. I trust ETH, no matter what.

To be honest, I think we should be happy when ETH reaches $800 in the first half 2019 at all. I doubt that ETH can make x6 in only about a month. Not at the current situation of the crypto market.

In downtrend whatever coin you gonna choose it will give you good ROI after end of bear market. Bear market is best choice to buy and forget for those who doesn't like to trade swings.

Although ETH fork will affect to ETH price a lot but I don't think it'll affect that much. Maybe it'll be possible if price of ETH will rise to about $500 because of hardfork. Even BTC hardfork also couldn't make BTC price rise about 8 times although crypto market was in good time like last year so I think it's impossible at this time.

a price of $800 would be nice, but i think the estimate is too high. actually, i hope the fork has a good influence on the price, but the price will rise so high, i doubt it. but i often go wrong with my assessments, so i wait and see what happens.

I'll think about it but probably I will if it reaches more than $500.

If they bought more than 10 ETH then its a time for them to take profits @ $150. And its starting to plunge now so its going to be buying time for them again.

No speculation will help him return this month to that level. and the bears are not going to leave yet. And any growth is accompanied by a good correction so far, which also destroys this opinion.

It should be rising but does not seems that it can rise till 800im Jan itself . Targeting around 500 $ will be a great for all the investors who had being buying and beleiving this altcoins which could be the next bitcoin in next couple of years or may be somewhere near to that price range .

I hope ethereum will really reach that price. I have some amount in my ethereum wallet and the market is really really draining the price of my invested capital. If it does not reached in that time, I am still willing to keep them and hold just to recover all my lost together with some of the altcoins I have.

If you look at the crypto market development, it is now very difficult if Ethereum until January 2019 will reach $ 800. I think it can only reach $ 500, but as a trader, you must be brave enough to make a decision. Now is the right time to invest, if in January 2019 the price of coins can reach $ 800 is certainly a very extraordinary thing.

Which one of the forks can push the price to high? I think that this is unlikely to provide an opportunity for growth.

As I thought before, that ethereum will have a fairly large price in January 2019 later. I am sure that events like last year will happen again. Not only ethereum, but bitcoin, Neo, and other altcoins will have high prices.

I am skeptical about Ethereum because I can't judge how many ICO developers are currently holding Ethereum. If this is huge then Ethereum may be very difficult to grow in the future. But currently it is still the top coin.

ETH price is likely going to see an increase but going up towards $800 will require the market to change dramatically. It's not a low cap coin that can pump on major news by 500%. That's too much money to flow in to the market so it can't happen.

Yea, I also think the same way. ETH is too big to rise that much in such a short time. Look at Waves for example. It had quite some hype in the last weeks and did a x4-5, but it might have seen its max already. However, it is quite a bit smaller than ETH, so we ll need lots of money to pump ETH that much

There is still a high probability of decline. It's a market that loves making the opposite corner. In 2019 there will be ascension, but they may crawl to the last quarter.

Hope you are right but it seems very difficult.

In the past few days the eth price shows a massive gain and it did hit a high of 160 usd. And with the constantinople is nearing the hype could be one of the reasons why eth price is slowly rising. And with the block rewards at 2 eth this very good for eth in a long run.

Decreasing the reward does not guarantee us anything, the only thing that can boost ETH project itself is their development.
based on what I heard, they will do an upgrade. If it is really an upgrade, just like before when they implemented the smart contract, it might bring a positive result to the ETH itself.
the price is rising due to hardfork, many people believe there will be another coin popped out from ETH.
but sadly, it is not.

Yes, you're right. Now all crypto currencies have lost 90%. When that happens, you can take any one that has a project. Now there are a lot of coins available on top 20. If you want to take risks, top 100 may be.

Before 800$ and before the fork, the price already dumped just like other fork. Remember dont in into a fomo rally or you just getting stuck for your money and watching your asset everyday lose.

800$ is a big goal to be achieved and I don't think it will happen.
To my mind 300$ is more visible target in a short term period.

No, I don't think ETH can hit 800 USD in January! Though new year will give a positive effect on the crypto market and I hope the market will show a good up! That's why I believe ETH will hit 200 to 250 USD! But 80-0 USD is just like a daydream to me for January 2019!

the jump you are talking about is too big to be possible, I may agree with you on <=300 USD but 800 nah.... it has to go way beyond resistance which i don't see happening by then. maybe before q3 runs out hopefully

I think hoping ethereum $800 after hardfork is very excessive, but that doesn't mean it can't work, I personally estimate ethereum after hardfork will reach $300. I just think realistically.

Although, alot of people have predicted ETH to gain some increase in price and more popularity after the fork but I dont see ETH clinching the mentioned price by Jan 2019 because the project still have some back doors problem which literally hinder some investors from put their money into it. Mind you, ETH will experience some increase in price before the fork because people will want to earn the fork free coin.

Ether may not sell for $800 in January but surely,  ether will rise in the days ahead before the ethereum fork!  Ether has made some surprise movement in price.  The recovery to almost $160 was instant and I think this is the perfect time to buy more ether!

Be honest, I've no idea that ETH performs that's way or not. Though I've strong reason on ETH that It could surpass this $800 landmark anyway cause after each powerful fall there was even more incredible growth.

400 $ is a price that I feel can be achieved if this hardfork is indeed happening and is supported by various large exchangers such as binance etc.

In a bullish market we might have seen it happen, ETH quickly rose from sub $100 to over $1000 without any major upgrades. But in this market it's hard for any coin to experience real growth. Even coins with major announcements seem to experience growth only to have it wiped out in the next sell off.

I was very surprised if in such a close time the market could grow quickly. but I also expected that to happen. whether it's next month or throughout the next year, I will wait for the market to grow very well again.

I think that many will want to get a fork of Ethereum and due to this the price will grow. If it is more difficult to mine Ethereum, it will cause a stir around the coin. It is also likely that people will simply not sell Ethereum, which will increase the cost.

Probably what will happen in the end. This time it will drop to less than $50. When they fork BCH, all coins drop too which is likely to happen as well with this ETH fork.
There is a halving however, which something that will be interesting too. We'll see what will happen but like they said, expect the worse to happen.

Buyers then are different from the current type of buyers. Having seen what can happen in a highly volatile market this year, there may not be much hype to propel any coin to more than 20% in a run. So i highly doubt 800usd is possible.

There are lots of small investors that are now hesitate to invest with this kind of market also the reason of bitcoin and crypto is a scam, I got a friend  that has been a victim of cryptocurrency so if that is also the perception of others to crypto it will really affect the market.

$800 per ETH is exaggerated even after fork. I also expect a price increase during January followed with a price drop after new coin distribution.

Everything in cryptomarket is quiet exaggerated, well its just a prediction because many believes that after the fork of eth and the etf for bitcoin the price will rise high again. For me, I will just wait for that moment and see if my strategies will work because I don’t invest base on any prediction, I look for every details of every coin before I invest.

My hope is that this way. Because there must be something. There must be extraordinary things people want it now. How people want this market to rise at a time when this market has collapsed. Bitcoin needs to be corrected before Ethereum returns. Let's see how 2019 is going to be good things.

Corrections followed after that great bounce back, now it's been ups and down again we don't know how long it will take but like many other said this fork can bring something good in terms of hyping the current price so buying while its still cheap can be profitable after some weeks, if you already have some coins keep it hold and buy more if you still can.

Hopefully it will be as it was, the market will be back soon crypto, perhaps it is the hope of all people. But if early next year to achieve the price is as high as it is it possible it could happen? a short time to see such a high rise.

if fork ethereum has been created, I'm not too sure the price will increase as well. although many believe that a coin will increase if it creates a hardfork but it won't pump as well.

$ 800 is an amazing growth that would please every investor. It is very difficult to predict what the demand will be for the Ethereum fork. I think that you need to shop and be patient.

I don't think that there is any chance that Ethereum will go up to $800 dollars in January. I think it would increase but it wouldn't go high as that. Because it took a really long time before Ethereum reached the $1000 dollar point in 2017.

Looks far fetch to see ETH back to more than $500 again in weeks. I do have some ETH that I keep but I don't expect it to be huge in a year again. I'm willing to wait for years, I may sell or keep it forever til I badly need the money. Speculations are weirder these days, this I guess is because holders put their hopes a lot on ETH. There has to be more than the coins on top of the CMC such as EOS and XRP.

I believe ethereum will increase even altcoin too, but to be able to reach its peak price again or $ 800 or maybe more in the near future seems difficult, but the crypto market is difficult to predict what will happen even though the possibility is small.

It will increase but it will not so much as the title of this thread. the block reward will be getting more than 30% to reduce and that makes sense to see at least more than 30% growth in the price of ethereum caused by the reward.

Youre right when you said ETH holders put their hopes alot on ETH base on the previous record of the project and the professional level of the project developer teams and this why the communties want vitalik buterin and the rest of the team to implement the shards and casper as soon as possible.  With that been said I will advice to wait till next year Q4 and for EOS and XRP such coins doesnt worth it due to it been centralized.

They have chance but it's only a little bit. But for sure in the near future it will turn again to $800 and take note not only that because more than that plud heres the bonus it will become thousands dollars plus become the next bitcoin after few years.

It should be green days, I am expecting that total coinmarketcap will be more than 200 billion dollars. If it happened then whole crypto market will be green and every trader will be happy. BTC at 10K$ and ETH at 600$ is the estimate. Let's see and wait for few days.

The recent growth we had has almost all disappeared already, it was a normal reaction to a long period of selling. The price is now finding a narrower range to sit within where it will likely remain for some time. I suspect we could remain between 3k and 4.5k for most of 2019.

For such a short period to show a price increase of more than 4 times, it is too cool for such a weak market, even if the Ethereum updates will be of high quality

If ethereum is hard to obtain doesn't mean it will get expensive,the analysis you made went wrong the prices gone deeper again after Christmas so in January $800 looks impossible.

Ethereum was disappointing all year long..Had a little move in the last week of the year..Numerous scam projects that were launched last year were one of the factors affecting Ethereum..I think the price will increase in the new year thanks to both fork and new projects.

What? I think that such forecasts are not translated into reality. Now it seems impossible. The market is in decline.

Although Ethereum is a good coin to invest, but I don't think the fork will really push it to $800. I'm seeing perhaps a good bump to $200-$300 will be the tops. But we will have to wait and see, if we somewhat see some semblance of a bull run in January its possible to push the price but not to $800 levels. Ethereum needed so much money to go to that price and I don't think we have it next month.

I don't think it will.
New platforms are coming, investors are interested in new things.
In far future it might reach its old all time high levels not now.

What I think it is happening is that whales are taking a position in ethereum before the upgrade and that is what it is making the price of ethereum to go slightly up, but as the date gets closer people are going to begin to buy more and more ethereum and this will create a small bubble that will probably last for a few weeks so if you are interested in ethereum and you want to make some profits this could be the perfect time to invest in it.

no, for now i think it's too difficult for ethereum hit the price $800/Ethereum even any moment of forking in ethereum blockchain, maybe even if the price are growup in just $300-$400/Ethereum

I think that would be very cool. But I do not believe it. A coin cannot grow so much in a short time. The cryptocurrency market is recovering very slowly.

If there is a bull run we will see that ETH might reach higher than that price if bitcoin reach a new ATH. Though there is no news about whether the bull run is coming but we have to wait and see until it comes. I know for sure that most of the altcoins will fill with green in colors during bull market.

I really hope so because 25 - 28 didnt bring much of good new about altcoin but lets hope the market auto-correction is actually completed because so many are already buried and dead in that wave We had so many losses along It will be good to relax a little

What? $800? it's crazy, but if it becomes a reality many people will be happy, I think when tomorrow's hardfork can be above $300 it's good.

If you look at the current market price, Ethereum only reached the price of $ 139 and I think at the beginning of the year reaching $ 800 it was very heavy. But nothing is impossible in the crypto world and everything can happen. By seeing that the price is still low, of course, we also have to invest in Ethereum to increase the power of this coin to grow.

Hope it's okay but not too high, so it's a reasonable prediction. Eth is good for the future, and many communities are hoping that eth will continue to grow.
We will see it and developments that will surprise everyone.

it is just a rumor and there is not too much authentic information about it. ETH's price is now quite low but it is impossible for it to grow strongly in the near future. BCH shared its value for BSV and no development is too big here. I think ETH is the same.

I agree with you, while it is too early to think that Ethereum has finally returned to the path of stable growth, it can still fall, and just trample on the spot

I do not think that ETH will cost $ 800 in January, most likely you will see such a price closer to the summer

well, but nothing is impossible that could happen in 2019. well, but I also feel that ETH prices will come to that price in mid-2019. maybe before the hardfork ETH happened. but faster will get better.

I think the middle of next year is a short time, hopefully it can be achieved. but if it's faster than that, I think ethereum must have a big event that supports it developing very fast.

This would be good news if in the first quarter of 2019 the price of Ethereum reached $ 800. But my observations now by looking at the market developments today, I think Ethereum will be difficult to reach $ 800. so, for now, we can determine what we have to do in the crypto market.

Maybe ETH will raise prices but I am not too expected at $800. I am hoping ETH will be $300, but this seems not easy.

I expect strong up movement, but you know, ethereum is so volatile at the moment, that I don't know what is going to happen next time!

I am not too sure whether it will make the price high, because the price of ETH follows the price of btc, so in my opinion it will not have a big impact on btc.
but I also hope that it will make ETH prices expensive.

after hardfork i expect the price can increase but indeed the price too might be following to bitcoin that if bitcoin rise up then we might to see the price of Eth will be more good than now but possibly before hardfork the price will climbing up because usually when a particular coins will hardfork then the demand also will high and usually the price also will increase too

I will not be surprised to see a rise in eth price after the said network boost. I won't be also surprised if just before the incident, I see ETH dumped as we see in most forks. In any of them, I expect the price to be better in 2019 than 2018.

In 2019 I expect a big rise from ethereum. Because now is the time. At the beginning of 2019, I think it would be $ 400 comfortable. At the end of the year, I think it will exceed 1000 dollars. Let's see what the time will be as I hope it will be.

$800, I don't expect that much. With too little time, the hard fork will take place, ETH can pump a little more, but probably not significantly.
I guess the eth price will be around $250 - $400.

This prediction for the next hard fork should be carefully managed with respect to price to avoid unnecessary accumulation that might not fetch that size of dollar addition that is been predicted. The news of the hardfork should have been generating a pump by now for a price in the height of $800, so I doubt such a pump with the hardfork news.

BCH tanked because of 51% attack fears. When BCH won the hash war, ABC released a roadmap with tons of actual development going on - and the price jumped 200% and more in 2 days.
Ether is not as oversold. And even though they're developing exciting stuff, we'll be seeing very little of it with this hard fork.
$200 is achievable, but optimistic. I think we can see a jump into the 300-400 range when PoS and 2nd layers are announced.

i agree with you if the market do not show us a good movements,
i think, ethereum price will stay under $500 in this hard fork my friend

There are many opportunities on the cryptocurrency market. Not even once we have seen increases of up to 1000% in one day, but I think that this will not happen here. In my opinion, Ethereum can reach about $300 - $400 in January.

speculations are just speculations. Keep that in mind. The market itself is way unpredictable. No matter how huge the crypto is,  the market value is still complicated to predict. Therefore, thinking of such thing that the market value of ethereum will immediately increase, is still blurry. So just be patient and just observe how the market will move next year.

Maybe yes maybe not difficult to expect for the price increase quick but it's possible because of volatility movements, and i agree with you there have a good sign moving of ethereum in the coinmarketcap.

The price will certainly not rise to $800 because of the update.
I can't imagine that this update will really change the price much.
Rather i think the price of ethereum will rise if the price of bitcoin also rises again.

ETH is not going to increase that much in price in Jan due to this fork. It may go to $200 or $300 at best so do not buy expecting huge gains quick.

I do not believe if ETH will go to 800 dollars, even to go to 400 I may be a difficult thing for the beginning of the year, we will see together how this story continues

Now the Ethereum movement has seen growing. And we must support this positive movement by investing. In January 2019 Ethereum Akam reached $ 800, I thought that would be difficult. But in life, all this can happen.

Eth is having lot of expectations for new upcoming fork probably eth may again reach its previous all-time high prices as per al member expectations

All I know is, ethereum current price is close enough to the bottom for me to load up on a few more coins!

Highly unlikely. I'm not being negative here but $800 looks like way overboard. Although i must admit that i, too am looking forward to something remarkable [steady price increase] that may result once the upgrade is launch and i'm thinking of about $200, for a starter. I believe that many Ethereum enthusiasts share my thoughts.

In this January ethereum will experience hardfork and of course this will be an increase in ethereum prices because it will certainly have an effect on the market.

To me I think it will be impossible for Ethereum to reach $800 in January but in my own opinion I only hope it will grow up to $800 in 2019  :D

Now 3 Ethers are mined with every block right? And after upcoming fork only 2 Ethers will be created. So I dont think that this could really make Ether more valuable.
PoS could really make Ether more valuable, but for that we have to wait little bit longer.

First of all, we have to wait for January, 2019, when the team of the ethereum print the renewal actions of Constantinople. I am waiting for my turn not only to attract an investor due to the block chain scaling, but also to increase the interest of the market for ico companies.

I think the ETH price will be $80 in January 2019

When bear market persist like it is presently in Cryptocurrency market,  it drag all coin down regardless of fork,  update or any development.  I think is very important that we get out bear market and leave bear in the dust!

I find that this hope is actually possible if with the fork a bull market would start. Right now it seems like ETH has stopped this fast growth it had last week. I think that with the market conditions we have right now, the price of ETH will be between 100-250usd in the end of January.

I'm very bullish on ethereum when Casper and Raiden are ready.
This fork is very insignificant though.
Probably a good time to accumulate nonetheless.

in my opinion it is very difficult if eth rises to $ 800 at the beginning of the month and my prediction ETH yesterday rose significantly only for price corrections and if it stabilizes again like last year it takes quite a long time.

Speculation for ethereum reaching $800 by January is too much and really looks impossible in any angles but who knows right? No one can tell and we all know that hardforks for well known cryptocurrency like ethereum will cause a price pump before the hardfork but will suffer a massive selling after that so a price correction is inevitable. I could say that ethereum might reach $300 to $400 by January but not up to $800.

800$ for ETH so fast is hard to believe in current market
That fork is not any real solution for Etherum i expect some hype price rise and dump after
Remember that Bitcoin sidechain is coming it will be very serious competitor for Etherum
Many serious ico are waiting for btc sidechain because etherum dapps will be more costly for his creators

ETH fork will have some good momentum for ETH but 800$ is very unrealistic target/prediction for the month of January 2019 because overall we are still in the bear market and don't expect that much growth in short term.

In crypto you never know, but in 1 month going from 160$ to 800$ will not be possible  :D.
Just before the fork, some more pumping will be seen normally.

this is the first ethereum fork, many are doubtful about Hardfork. some hardforks don't have a good impact.
like yesterday the BCH case caused a drastic decline in bitcoin.

I have a mining rig in dubai. History is witness when ever I sold eth it start growing. Well smart contracts rules no doubt

I think the problem is that Ethereum and the other altcoins are tied to Bitcoin; The king. If Bitcoin doesn't break 4k levels, I doubt ETH price will increase, even with the fork event.

There's really a big correlation between the two. But we all know at one point bitcoin will bounce back. And once that happen altcoins including ETH will have a massive price increase. So personally, its a wait and see attitude for me. If the market makes a good reversal early 2019 then expect everyone to jump in again and FOMO and possible that ETH can go $500-$800 in short amount of time.

in my opinion ETH is priced to the moon because of limited supply, while ETH is in demand and the community uses it.
Ethereum is my favorite coin in investment because this coin has the potential and have a sophisticated technology collaboration in the blockchain, namely smart contract, security, speed, decentralization and wallet that can accommodate ICO tokens so that it becomes a solution for ICO projects

Market is still in early stages of a bull run so do not expect big moves that soon. ETH may go up another $100 or so this month but do not expect a huge rise.

Well it might need the help of Bakkt for $800 because 1 month time to reach almost x4-5 the value need alot of volume
With the fork network upgrade itself is not enough imo

We have situation when all market follows BTC so dont think ETH could make it itselfs so we need real Bull run as 800 is realy big price,  for this moment its only 137$ so i think if we want 800$ ETH then must have 8-9k BTC minimum,  hope afther Bakkt news about rising more than 182,5 mln from investors it will  happen finaly.

Even though we here good news it is impossible to reach 800$ because Bitcoin should increase its price before others. Due to huge fluctuation, ETH alone will not increase its price, so always try to hold in order to some decent until it reaches new higher prices.

Yes,it's true that crypto market is hard to predict what happened in the long way run.But there are also hope that the crypto market was gain able especially right now that the price goes up,not like in a few months later we have no choice is to keep on holding what coins we had because we afraid to loose profits.

Is better people come to earth here, Ethereum was over $1000 early last year and went to $84, if people do not learnt any lesson, it is to make do with waht they have at hand. Ether price will face alot of competitions this year ecause now we have a lot of competing platforms and if its fails to solve the issue with scaling the transaction speed expect other projects to take advantage of this and make it more desirable for other projects looking to build their platform

We are not in bull market so how it you are expecting 800 dollar from ethereum, it is 125-130 dollar now and it must do x5-6 in few weeks:) I think we must put reasonable target if we are writing it at somewhere.

ETH will be not in time to grow so fast. I can believe that this cryptocurrency price will reach 300 dollars, but the mark of 800 dollars seems something that is very unbelievable.

that's too hard for Ethereum hit price $800 even in new year 2019, but just see what happen in market condition in this year, any change condition or keep like now

Basically you shall try to create an analyzation about how much the block reward will have decreased, after you will see how much being reduced and then you can try to take a reasonable speculation about the ethereum market.

Ethereum is very disappointed in me. I wasn't expecting such a collapse. Everything fell, but that was too much !. I believe he will recover again. I think this year will be over $ 1000.

Be patient and wait because these are the two most basic things in investment. If you are optimistic about ETH, have great faith in it because I believe that $ 1,000 will happen soon and we will have more opportunities to keep ETH. Personally, I will continue to hope and expect a new future for this market

Of course, I understand the condition of many investors who suffered huge losses last year and now they think that an explosive increase in the price of cryptocurrency will have to come in 2019, but I have a huge doubt that the ethereum will be able to achieve such price in 2019.

Be patient and wait for Eth's value, this is indeed a challenge for us in managing eth for the future. Looking at this time eth does have an increase and certainly, great expectations for eth are a satisfying value. All will be normal and fine, be patient and play a little strategy to reduce disappointment.

Ethereum  holders are in gor many surprises this  month. I see ether rising gradually but surely it will become better in terms of dollar value of each ether. Ethereum is really holding it down for cryptocurrency wjen it comes to constant improvement and development!

$800 at the end of January is too high a price, even in a good scenario, I think at best you can count on $300, in the long term your rate is quite real

We shall see. There is only a couple of weeks left before the fork will finally take place. There will be more accumulation in the days to come especially as the days are nearing to the scheduled fork. That is for sure. But whether it is enough to raise the price of ETH to $800 is quite dubious to me. Unlike other hard forks that resulted to a different coin, this one will not. There would be no split. There is only development on the same blockchain. The pump would therefore be lesser as compared to when there is a new forked coin that would be freely given 1:1 to the coin owners.

No, no,no that is unrealistic and too fast. it also means that tokens reliant on eth like ledu will perform a quick jump in price. I think eth will reach $1000 but not $800 in such a short time.

the prediction can't be blamed, no matter how much you predict it can't be blamed, but to reach the price of $ 800 it's too high to achieve

It is possible to see that value if the fork are good but don't expect because it is possible to down also if the people panic.
$800 is really happen this month or if not maybe next few months because we now not only $800 is the ethereum reached before ethereum reached more than $1400 and it will happen again the value if everyone will trust and believe to ethereum that they increase the value again.

Yeah I agree that this Ethereum platform enhancement or fork can increase the demand but it can't rise to $800 after it will be implemented. It can rise higher to $1000 but not instant and this will need the bullish run of bitcoin to drive the market into higher demand. With the fork of ethereum this can attract more new investors to invest as they have more confident that ethereum dev team has more focus for another milestone of ETH platform. They can be back to the second spot of crypto marketcap next to bitcoin in the few months.

I doubt that we will see $800, that is pretty a huge raise, if we can grow higher than $200-220 than it might continue recovering. So far, I am waiting for those levels if we will hit.
Buy the rumour, sell on news. After the fork will be interesting to see, what will happen.

I am of the same opinion. And even I'm afraid of reverse behavior on the market .. It actually happened quite often in 2017, that immediately after announcing the date of an event, the price slowly began to rise (we see it in last days), and 2-3 days before the event, price was falling strongly. It would not be a surprise to me if this time will be similar situation.

ETH by $800 for this year looks impossible.
But with the said fork its possible if the demand would rush.
And bitcoin would likely to move high quickly.

$800 this month for ETH look too much to expect too fast. It can only go up another $100 or $200  this month at best.

Constantinople is not really a gamechanger. The hardfork is needed for Ethereum to launch Casper, which will be the gamechanger. I don't see Constantinople pushing the price above $ 200. Can't wait for Casper though.

I think so. Even though ETH has a large potential to rise to the price of $ 800, I don't think that will be easy. however, I think the trigger might get better when the hardfork has started. besides, I think that a pretty good price for ETH is when the price rises above $...

The volume trade now is not that huge and I have to agree on this one. If ETH hits $800 again, for sure we are on a strong bull market that time but its not going to happen. Its not easy to pump again after a big fall and expect that it will rise easily, have patience and do what is right which is to invest more. The first quarter of 2019 will be a test quarter to confirm the rise or another year of dumping.

I think $200-250 is more realistic.

Such growth is possible because there will be a hard fork and it will be more difficult to get Ethereum. I think this year will be great for him as the development team on the plan a lot of improvements. I do not expect that the price this month will be $ 800 but in a market like we all know everything is possible !)

You should be realistic and make a more appropriate prediction. Agree with you that the price of ETH will increase during hard fork but it will not increase too high. I think the price of ETH will not be able to surpass 170$.

Looking ahead, the 11th will be the first hard-fork and I think this will be a good time to buy ETH to get a token. Or we can still sell ETH at a higher price at the end of January 10. because then, the amount of ETH demand is quite high so they will put it at a high price. Buy from now on would be very good.

some speculations have emerged that Ethereum prices will probably rise to touch $ 1000, indeed, from the news that Ethereum will do a hardfork and market as big as Binance has confirmed that they support the ETH hard drive but note that the market is currently experiencing a bear season, because there is the possibility that ETH will have a correction or BTC that has experienced it because BTC is still in control this season. About mining, there is a possibility that it is increasingly difficult because more people are starting to invest in ethereum networks

At a time i mean in this january month i know three hard fork will be happened but in that case i heard two fork is fake from people opinion because there are enough information their websites and other media partner. But i make sure on of them Ethereum Constantinople is very effective i think. https://support.binance.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021495791

ETH can grow much after hard fork in January. It seems to me that its price can reach $ 500 and maybe even more.

It can help lifting the price more when bitcoin also rises high before the year will end, there's a lots of speculations and no clear directions after or before this fork, the fomos and newbies are easily been move by what they've seen inside the market, keep your eye open and allow yourself to reassess every time you make any decision playing with this coin, always not to be so greedy while working around.

ETH seems to be doing good by gaining it second slot back from ripple due to it increase in price lately but it will never reach the price range the OP and you mentioned. However, the upcoming fork was the reason why ETH gain the recent growth in price and that doesnt mean the grow will continue cause that situation of ETH grow rely on the team decision.

Ether can become so expensive only if the cryptocurrency market turns around and goes up. I do not think that fork will be the cause of strong growth.

I have the same opinion if Ethereum from the end of December 2018 to the beginning of January 2019 has a very positive move and continues to increase. However, if you want to reach the price of $ 800 this month it certainly won't be easy. If everyone invests in Bitcoin in a large number of funds, of course, the price of Ethereum can reach 800 $. But we see the fact that happened on the field that Ethereum's price is still volatile.

Hardfork is doomsday for Ethereum..
We all now what happens to coins after forking.
Price will dump huge.

in fact, ETH prices began to rise, but the increase was quite slow. hoping the price of ETH can reach $ 800 will certainly be very difficult. well, but we all still hope that there is an increase that can make ETH increase in a fast, stable time. for now, I'm sure, the news that hardfork will occur is the reason that many people are starting to invest in ETH.

I don't think its value will increase as high as you think. $ 800 is when our market has a market capitalization of over $ 1,000 billion. ETH is going to have a big event but it doesn't mean that the price of ETH will increase many times. The upcoming event will reduce the price of ETH to balance the value of the new altcoin. ;D

With the hard fork, i hope the price of ETH will increase but how much it is going to increase we don't know but surely the price of ETH is kept increasing in the market which makes more bullish in the market and i hope it will cross the value of 200$ but not the 800$.

It should be targeting to reach 500$ first and then we can look to see it above 1k. Though it may take some time as currently it is around 156$ itself. So will take atleast next 2-4 months easily even if bull run continues for some time.

Now ETH has shown that this hardfork plan is indeed making pumping prices. But I'm not too sure ETH will make the price higher or just stay with the current price or will dump again after hardfork is done because I see BTC prices don't support.

The price of ETH in connection with these events will rise for some time, but of course it will not reach large values and will soon be corrected. Large growth to $ 800 only with the growth of the entire market

If we are in the bullish trend then its possible that ETH might hit around $800 but since the bear is still in total control, I agree with your conservative estimates of $200 which is doable. It already breach $150, might be encountering resistance though but it's possible as we inch closer to the schedule's fork date.

guys, it seems to me that you need to take into account the situation with hardfork ethereum, which is not official. According to the developers ethereum Classic Vision A completely different product. Based on this, it is very difficult to say how this situation will affect the ethereum. Although updating Constantinople will make the situation much more profitable.

Assuming Bitcoin price did not change, ETH at $800 will be number 1 Crypto currency with over $83 Billion marketcap. I think it is too much for Ether in Jan, but it can increase gradually this year.

Analysts are bullish on the ETH nearest future, it's doing quite well in terms of the market capitalization. In general, I expect the current rise to continue, but I don't see 800$ mark plausible in January or in Q1. Cryptos do not show this dramatic type of rise currently

hoping for that price after the fork.. it would be good if it will go back to its all time high price.. but i think that is too much..

If you really believe it will be 800 dollars, pay close attention when investing, I think it is impossible to raise prices. Forks can rise up to $ 300 just before the forks, but I don't think it will even happen. These forks will not succeed :)

I do not really know if such a high price can be reached so quickly if at all, my conservative side tells me that a price between 250 and 300 is more likely and if we are lucky we could see a price of 500 for each ethereum for some time but such a high price for ethereum will be almost impossible to reach unless bitcoin goes up in price as well and makes all the market to go up, something very unlikely to say the least.

this fork speculation are good for every crypto enthusiast and will provide more convenience. But, unfortunately i cant see this good news will bring ETH price jump up to $800, not in the near future or even thiis year. we have to admit this bear situation will last for long term period, and will see the bull comes after this hard situation. i advice to everyone in crypto world to be more wise spending your money on cryptocurrency investment, it will leads us to take what we expect from profit.

It was not even worth hoping for such a growth, and after the next correction, all the doubts disappeared. Maybe the end of the first quarter.

Ethereum is a big fail, let's be honest.
Will never get anywhere near big Bitcoin in terms of popularity.

It will never go back to 800$ ever again guys.

Cross fingers dude. A lot of eth were taken by hackers during the cryptopia hack and the price of eth now stands around 125usd the last time i checked. You're delusional if you think it would even go beyond 500 usd this january.

   I`m Ethereum holder and big fun. I believe in Ethereum in long-run. I think Constantinople hard fork will bring some good changes for Ethereum.
I`m optimistic about Ethereum, if this fork pass without problems later price will rise for sure.
   Like others I`m following situation and I believe in great future for all Ethereum users.

This price Ethereum may not reach even by the end of this year, it is necessary to be realistic and clearly understand the current state of the market, it is weak, and Ethereum alone will not grow

in the near future there may not be a very high nominal growth in ethererum prices. but growth with stages will occur, I'm sure of that. the problem when we happen can only wait, it doesn't mean that the moment is the right time.

It's hard for us to say. ETH prices are easy to increase, but also very easy to fall. Beginning in January ETH prices increased to $ 175 from the $ 95 figure on December 18, 2018. I think after Hardfork, ethereum prices will fall again.

You make this speculations some days back but I think this your speculations may not happen as at today ethereum is below $150 and tomorrow is the hardfork day.  It might take ethereum end of the year for it to recover above $800 and though I will advise investors to invest now because of how cheap ethereum is currently are.

Hardfork ETH was postponed until next week, so speculation of the thread maker is still valid because hardfork hasn't happened yet, and I can speculate that there will be a price increase on ETH in hardfork later but not up to $ 800 maybe $ 200

lol.
it is coming down to 80s not 800s.
community dont give supoort ethereum anymore.
it is getting worse day by day

This postponement of the date greatly influenced the potential growth of Ethereum, now investors will be cautious about harf fork, they will not invest as much money as they could in anticipation of the growth

its hard to reach 200$ and i think this year ethereum will not reach 800$
and you know it ethereum fork is delayed again

this is everithing ? Nice JOKE.
i am trusted in ETHEREUM.

Well, fork was postponed and now I don't even know what to expect.
As for me there is a small chance to be pumped in short term. Too many negative news and crypto is under pressure.
I believe we need more time for recovery, like 6-9 month. But 800$ is a target for 2 years

Unfortunately, optimistic forecasts were not fulfilled. I think this coin will not be able to cost so much in the next few months.

This is very difficult. we have now seen that it did not happen. ethereum should have experienced price developments since the hardfork was announced. but there is no significant increase. this cannot indeed be a reference now

I really doubt 800$ is attainable in the market spectrum i mean just look at the way things are really staggered and everything is so not in place I think we might probably expect a price between 300 - 400$ least but targeting 800 is way too much for the price you are calling

Binance has been freezing some funds were sending by the hacker but dunno about what will do by another exchange because the hacker has started to laundering his money through send it in the various address of exchange site.

Of course its pretty obvious that we can't even go and break $200 at this point. There this argument is totally useless. Yes this is just a prediction but we should be somewhat realistic as well. So calling $800 is way too much, let's put $200 first and see if we're going to break it this January (we still have a couple of weeks to do it).

While the rise in the price of ethereum to $ 800 in the near future is not real. Moreover, the introduction of hard forks Constantinople has been postponed for the time being due to the identified vulnerabilities in this coin. And while Bitcoin continues to exercise price dominance over other types of cryptocurrency, none of them, including ethereum, can independently grow so much in its price. Ethereum is able to exceed this price, but when there will be a general growth of the cryptocurrency market.

People are expecting too much in a short period of time, the price should increase step by step, the sudden increase will lead to sudden drops in the market. Already we have seen how Bitcoin has fallen its price with the sudden increase and sudden drops.

If that's by choice then I agree with you, but we don't have any capability to predict what will happen after, we are all in a speculating period and we are just waiting for the next trend, many are still positive and hoping that even delayed happen with the upcoming forks there's still hope that the value will grow, the question still is when will it happen, pressure between big holders who can easily short and change the momentum are the big hindrance for ETH to rise high again.

I don't think this will happen easily. we know that Hardfork won't make ETH prices so high for this month. well, the most probable speculation is when ETH prices are above $ 250. but I hope that the rest of the day before February the price of ETH can be even higher.

Would mean a big improvement if the price will rise that big, but how about bitcoin on that time, we know it's not gonna happen without btc coordination. Market is big but bitcoin still controls the majority of the shares, so it needs to more in an uptrend way in order for ETH to easily achieve that value.
$250 seems easy since we reach that before already, but like I pointed out above, how would bitcoin needs to react or move?

what is clear is that eth prices can break 200 in February, which is something very good, which in my opinion will not happen for several months. so don't have to dream that prices will touch 800 dollars in the near future.

I think this is quite possible because Ethereum attracts a lot of attention and it is very popular but not in January because The hard Fork was postponed due to critical vulnerability. So we are waiting for official news from Vitalik.

I think ETH will reach $180 - $200 by the end of January.
Ethereum's hashrates start recovering.

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/tiny/bitcoins-and-ethereums-hashrates-start-recovering/

The ETH Network Hashrate is increasing because the POW algorithm is unlikely to change in the near future.

I feel so deceived with the actual price of ETH after hardfork.. i really expected much much more from this. I still remember end 2017, with the continuous hardforks of BTC, how market rised and rised non stop during months.. wanted the same for ETH :(

the same thing will not be possible. it might take a very long time to rebuild the market as it was in 2017. the market will grow again, but to build the same market I think that is already impossible. there will be a new market, with new growth, we must be patient to wait for it. too fast to see ethereum grow in a short time.

The price of ETH will recover when the entire market recovers, i do not foresee an individual rally only in ETH as there is nothing interesting in it and i do not see this as a coin in the first place, it is just a platform to create new tokens and they have done that with tons of scam coins. In the initial rally the price reached a thousand dollars, but i do not see the price moving further from that stage and it is really difficult to see any significant rally in ETH alone.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like that will happen. ETH had a bit of a recovery and is now just following along with the rest of the market, treading water at a relatively stable price but with that slow downward trend that has become so familiar to all of crypto this last year.

unfortunatelly, now Ethereum hardfork are pending and untill now nothing happen big event in Ethereum market, i don't see any hype buy order for Ethereum in market

Yep, it was obvious that OP is exaggerating, but even I expected $200, and I'm usually pessimistic.
This shows a complete lack of excitement in the market.

January 2019 is almost over. I think that Aether will not be able to achieve such a high price. At the moment, I doubt that he will be able to rise so much in the next few months.

It's only past its half. We still have almost 2 weeks left. How can you say that it's almost over?
With the fork delayed and possible vulnerabilities i'm not seeing it past 150 dollars in the near future. The only thing that could push it up earlier is a Bitcoin pump.

Yeah, its hard to say since the previous fork with other coins doesn’t make any big price move. ETH will be high again in time and we are all hoping for that one. If many investors support this fork then I expect to see more pump compare to dump, the price of eth should start to pump slowly now.

ETH fork has been postponed to late Feb by its developers. It is more of a feature upgrade so not a big factor for price rise.

There have been no changes that have occurred in Ethereum and I think this is only a decrease to improve the quality of Ethereum. But this is actually the right time to invest because the price is very low. I'm still sure whether Ethereum will pump again someday.

This is not as likely because the market is still stagnant but reducing the mining rewards should have a minor impact on the value just more speculative increases might not occur till afterward when further features and investment products are released for this platform throughout the year so it's generally a positive outlook for investors

Yes, even though there have been no changes, the investors' views will change to be more positive. the current situation is indeed stagnant and there have been no significant changes. I am sure the price of ethereum will experience a much higher increase than at present. we will reach a much better level and all we have to do is start trusting ethereum as one of the most trusted digital financial systems. increase financial transactions every day and we will get benefits by starting with ethereum investment.

I don't think that will happen because the current price is due to the hardfork constatin issue, when I finish hardfork I think the price will come back down

The price hasn't even moved up.

Last time it has reached almost $160 but also went down quickly for some reasons. I don't think that after the fork price will go down, there's no coin to dump after that fork and let's refrain using the term 'fork', let's use upgrade instead.

it seems like something like that is very difficult to happen at this time. and in my opinion now the market is in a bad condition and can't penetrate at the price of 800 $ quickly. bitcoin itself has not experienced an increase

I think it takes more time for ethereum to grow that big. the market still looks unhealthy. this will not be good for market growth. they grow with a little and then fall again. all are full of vigilance now, and keep looking at your market, because the situation can change at any time.

hardfork that has happened has not had a big effect on ethereum prices, the price is currently stable, indeed there is no significant change. but if it has to fall I think it won't happen.

ETH will need more time to reach $800, that's a sure thing because exactly as people say, this market is still in a bad phase, the leader of this train is bitcoin still has no sign of recovery, especially investors who were depressed and scared, they did not want to continue to participate unless bitcoin returned, all of these factors are sufficient to talk about the possibility of an increase in the price of eth is very low. Although the fork may be a good news but it's not enough to pull eth from hell to heaven, this situation is too obvious when we look at the market

Up to $ 800...This is no doubt possible this year. Now we go through the bottom of the market, then we will gradually go up, it will be the beginning of four years of growth. Although I believe that he will not be so obvious. Most likely it will be a gradual increase with small corrections

Maybe by the end of 2019 price $800 for ETH is possible, but it certainly will not work until the end of January 2019 (see the thread topic).
A lot depends on whether the developers manage to do hardfork.

So, ETH proved to be very centralized, we'll hardly see $800 even after the Hard Fork at the end of February! This situation will be analyzed from another point of view in case the bull is started or the bull run is initiated if the market continues to drift in this way, hardly because good news is currently scarce and the CBOE withdrew its request to the ETF that contributes to this pessimism! ETH has also fallen into the sameness and there are no new facts, EOS is sticking more people these days.
