Bitcoin Forum

During the past 8 days Ethereum price went up by 22.5%, more so than usual.

Currently at $190 at the time of this post, and there is a huge SELL ORDER on Binance at $195.

IT already broke $195 mark yesterday but went no further.

Another factor is that it's been trading very heavily with Velocity reaching over 15%.

Is ETH ready to push through $200 or is price correction due to happen?
Thoughts?

Well, ETH is indeed very popular coin among alts I did few research on this and it looks like due to volatility in market this happened.

Volatile is not so easy anything can happen either it may go up or down asset is risky to hold that's it.

By the way I cant see any specific change in the market yes ETH may pump after some day it's a long-term asset mate. ETH crossing $200 is not a big surprise for if it goes.

As much as i like Ethereum project I still easily categorized it to other altcoins because this coin can't do things on its own, still all decision about huge pumps depends on Bitcoin, don't know what will happen after Staking feature get launched on ETH platform though but I don't expect anything too huge

Is the indicator in the picture is a Bollinger Bands?Anyways you can determine the volatility of a certain by using the Average True Range(ATR) indicator.
You can use it to determine the possible movement of the coin for that period of time (Depends on the time frame that you set).



As we can see on the graph:

Using Average True Range(ATR)(1D time frame):

ETH price is dancing on the price change of +-8$-9$ daily.


To determine if the price is overbought then you can combine it to Bollinger Band to determine the current condition of the price.

Using Bollinger Band(ATR)(1D time frame):

Conclusion:
Current ETH price is a bit on the roof of the channel which is a sign that it might decrease to the ATR (8-9$ more or less). It's safe to say that ETH might experience a major pull back unless
there will be strong support that will show @180-185$ level to backup the bulls.


Disclaimer: This is just my speculation and NOT a trading advice.

It's been a while since we have seen ETH reach this high, for the past month it's having a hard time to get past the $200 mark. Let's just hope that this will continue until the end of this year. I missed those days when it's price reached $800 last 2018 and after that, I never witness such a high price again in 2019. I wonder if history repeats again after this sudden uptrend and I just thought of what if they released that Etherium 2.0 to continuously increase this current situation of the ETH price in the exchanges.

Yes,,, I saw a few other people talking about the $195 sell order and the fact is a lot of people who bought below $100 will be looking to make double profits just at that area, so we have to wait for that order wall to fall down before we can see $200. And we will probably have a few retracements until then!

Every big and small crypto coins are volatile, what many failed to do is taking profits when bitcoin and ETH are surging, you would have make some good money if you are busy with trading and selling high , its still too early to see a new ATH from ETH

Quite true even though it is very sad.
At this point you even short trade and watch out because as OP said ETH is volatile.
The second option is to make research and long invest in something you truly believe will be huge in several years

I guess breaking the resistance is already a tiring effort and going further sometimes requires even more challenge since the ammunition is usually used against these resistance points and it gets a correction. The trouble here is the fact that ethereum is getting attention already as the second ranked coin which normally is very difficult considering people who want stability goes for bitcoin and people who want risk goes for further down the list, so getting bigger increases as the second ranked has always been a troublesome thing for years starting way back when litecoin was the second ranked one and still continues today.

All that aside, I feel like this is just the beginning of the road for ethereum, I see many many years of increases upon this price for sure as the crypto surge will continue upwards.

I wonder if OP is new here in the crypto industry. High volatility had been the trademark of this industry, that is why many investors and traders are attracted to participate in the industry and ETH is not exempted from this kind of market fluctuation.  If you look at the market, this is not the first time that ETH behaves this way.  Probably someone is trying to push the price up then, later on, dump their huge stash whenever it hits the target price.  

Aside from that, I think it is too early for ETH to rally since funds are going to the Bitcoin market for the upcoming halving event.  So I guess this run is just a bull trap for ETH bulls.


If ETH hit the $200, I think it won't be a correction but rather a trap since traders might short their trades upon reaching that price.

Personally, I believe that Ethereum is now gaining momentum and in the near future Ethereum will be the most promising coin. And another very positive factor, Ethereum is becoming the most sought-after coin in the cryptocurrency market. And in the near future, Ethereum will break the point of $ 200.

If we consider Ethereum prices of the years and the fluctuations, we cannot call it very volatile as there has always been a $8-$10 up-down since Nov 2018 and it has been stuck between $180-$220 but the moment BTC drops, we'll again see $120 which is the actual price of ETH without any correction. Due to the bull market, it may reach $250 but again fall to $120.

Chart: http://prntscr.com/qxhml1

Not only did ETH broke $195 mark, it also broke $200 and is now on it's way to $210

The latest news, you can see for yourself that the price of Ethereum has now reached more than $ 200 or today precisely in the price range of $ 203 (+ 8.08%) in the last 24 hours. I think the Ethereum price is currently experiencing a good price movement and it is likely that the Ethereum price will continue to $ 210- $ 230 this February.

price correction will definitely happen, but after a price correction, the price of Ethereum will increase, therefore when the price correction occurs, it is the right time to buy Ethereum, because I believe Ethereum prices in 2020 will penetrate the price of $ 450.

No more correction for ethereum as it's still underperformed compared with the bitcoin. Bitcoin always get the bullish trend with an only small correction and i just expect the same thing that will be happening with ethereum as bitcoin has already started to surge again.
I may aim $210 as the next pit stop for ethereum. When bitcoin worth almost 10k and the price of ethereum was around $700 in 2018.
With the next update that will be happening in the future and that will be pushing the price of ethereum.

The question was answered today. Ethereum pushed to $200 and price correction might occur suddenly base on the sell orders that we have. Happy to see it broke $200 barrier but don't be confident that there will be no slips on its way back to $300 and more.

It can be more than that, we still have 3 weeks and I think it will determine again what will be its position before bitcoin's halving. Did everyone already made their sell orders or keep holding?

Very volatile but advantageous to those already holding Ethereum but volatility is not only on Ethereum it applies to all coins in the market.it's the market reaction to all the events and news coming that makes it volatile but so far all the top coins in the market are performing better than last year.

I would take single large walls with a grain of salt most of the time. While some of these walls end up holding until they're eventually closed out through buying or selling, a lot of them are also pulled as soon as they begin being filled or when they're filled to some percentage or amount. Most walls like the one mentioned in the OP also occur only mainly on one exchange, too, though Binance is one of the larger exchanges with Ethereum pairs.

Yes, i am also very happy to see that ETH now cross 200$ and hope it will create a good record as there is no bad news in market. But problem is when ETH go down it does very rapidly and here investors fall in crash. So let's see whats going in next..

Being volatile must be a good sign of having more investors and traders. Last 2 weeks must be very good time for ethereum holders as the prices were rushing from $128 to $190+ Some technical analysis are predicting that ethereum is all set to test $360 in coming months its accumulation period is over.

I'm also expecting short-term pullback to happen right away. Because the time taken for reaching the current price levels is too quicker than it usually does. So, there are a lot of possibilities for some correction to happen before it will be getting ready for another big rally.

Its really good to invest in ETH even though it is volatile. If you go into day trading, this time's rapid increase can really bring profit, but in case it drops, you can always wait for it to rise up again without fear.

Ethereum price increases in the period January to February have occurred since the hardfork is finished. Precisely on January 2, Ethereum prices have begun to rise and until now the price has exceeded $200. Besides hardfork, I think Ethereum price increases are also greatly helped by the continued rise in the price of bitcoin and of course this is very important.

Here is a graph of Ethereum price movements from 1 January 2020 to 6 February 2020.
https://i.imgur.com/P8kcBZQ.jpg

If the market participants are high then it is only indicating that many traders that are willing to trade that kind of coin. There is a shallow pullback that happen and the price recover easily. There is also a major breakout that happen where it can be consider as healthy market. The price is currently going up again but the RSI of ETH is now in overbought area where the chances of deep pullback is very high.

High risk gives the high return. ETH get the bullish trend and currently price is $208. This is the a very good sign for investors that ETH shot to the moon this week. I expect that in few days it will cross $230 as the price is increasing each minute. My opinion is to hold the ETH for few days because i think it will go up and can cross $230 in this week.

There's enough reason why ETH is volatile, first is its trading volume, it has a high trading volume and therefore people love to play with it especially the day traders. Second reason I believe is that bitcoin now turning bullish, and when it's moving like this, altcoins are gonna be affected and that's what happen to ETH, and actually it wasn't just ETH alone, you can see most major coins are having some significant games, so if we like to take advantage on this, we can always do so as long as the timing is correct.

Yes, the volatile of ETH is fine to me as well because you can have the assurance that it will go up again because its a top altcoin and it always rise after fall. I’m glad to see ETH on $200 again and it goes beyond the expectation, the update will bring more pump for sure. We can always buy back any coin we want, with proper timing, execution and planning we don’t need to rush in the market, the volatility can be a good side for trader.

It is actually 210 USD already.
It's volatile indeed. I've been hodling these for years already and for the mean time, I think I won't touch til it reach its soft ceiling yet. We're aren't in peak yet just like how Bitcoin peaked in 2017.

Every coin is volatile, associating only etherum to volatility for me is not correct.

All tokens are volatile, they can go +90%  in the morning, then - 200% by night. As an investor, you need to choose a side that favors your portfolio

Technically it cannot go -200%.

-100% means it went to 0 or died.

Lol
Spare my exaggeration. But i also think tokens dont die after a massive dump.

It fights back with 1gwei or 2gwei eth orders.
Then there will be no buy orders at all, before that is followed with delistment

Crypto market is growing because finally it seems that Bitcoin could continue with its growth. After we reach 10 000 USD, we can think about next targets that are previous high 13000USD and then finally 20000USD.

I am still waiting for a much bigger rise for Ethereum. This is fundamental coin that is a really great alternative of BTC, but all good altcoins have already outperformed Ethereum during the past several months.

Ethereum is currently firing, I expected it to be better than this though as compared to BCH and BSV', I expect more growth I have some funds there, thinking of buying some altcoin with it and make more profit at the long run.

Are you sure? Bitcoin hype due to halving ia what I see here fundamentally. Yes this could be the reason of continue pumping of btc but we arent there yet meaning we dont experience yet this change. So the growth we are seeing is the hype comes with that news, and that is natural as investors and whales love to make a hype for some people and trader to be hook then suddenly will crash the market when the profits are already in their asset.

Just be mindful always, people lose their money on riding with this freaks. If I were you, Im gonna look on charts rather waiting for the price of btc hit or surpass its previous ATH. Plus eth investors are getting ready for the POS blockchain and staking rewards that's why many have buying eth now while still considerable to buy with its current value.

 Ethereum is having a good movement in the market and good to see the current price is slowly increasing. I believe it's growth this year hopefully, so it's volatility is most expected by others and more awaits this to happen in ethereum. So I expect on ethereum to increase its price this year.

In current status of Ethereum is $ 218 so everyone happily enjoy the ETH growth. But all the peoples are know the crypto volatility because stable coins only stay in a same region and other will move to pump and dump at anytime. I hope further days Ethereum will going to moon and Investors are expecting profit only so once it will dump on future automatically again peoples to move to stable platform.

Volatile going up only.
I don't see much profit in trading Ethereum though.

This will absolutely happen as I see it.
Bringing it back to a lower price says it all. We will see more buyers to come as long as it is cheap and the number 2 of all the crypto currencies that must be trusted.

I already stopped buying it. Stacked a lot at $130. Yey!

Ethereum is a good coin but very difficult to predict its movement and that explain the volatility. Now is over 200$ , we can only hope that we do not experience a draw back.

Every coin is volatile, the only non volatile are the stable coins which is not also an investment coin.

That's a good price but thanks to bitcoin for pumping now close to $10,000, expect more rise from ETH as bitcoin continues to stay bullish.

There was no new regarding development or the timelines for ETH 2.0. So we can assume that this rise was purely due to speculation. And as we have seen over the years, such spikes don't last long. Unless the developers come with something solid, the prices will continue to decline. I won't be even surprised, if ETH loses the no.2 slot in a few years from now.

Every cryptocurrency market is very volatile in nature. Most coins can go a whooping 200% in a single day and you will see a huge sell wall. This is the same with Btc market now look at Ethereum price it has held for the past days since your post I am sure the sell walls were taken down. Its normal when any market has a price Skype for huge sell walls to be seen.

True, but I often monitor ETH price movements in the last two months and I think the movements are also very balanced with some other altcoins, and it could be due to the movement of bitcoin so some altcoins also follow it.

The price of Ethereum has been going up. The increase has been linked to February 4th dip that triggered the bulls to start buying and that caused the price to start going up. It has already reached $200+ and it might keep going if the bulls are able to defend the current price.

Predictions has shown that if it’s able to reach up to $223 it will likely move from there to $235.70. it will then be up to the bulls to hold that position firmly and keep it going up. Correction won’t happen anytime soon due to the Bitcoin halving that is coming, there is going to be a bull run and ETH is definitely going up alongside Bitcoin for sure.

not even a week after the OP posted his thread and eth has surpassed the $200 mark. eth has strong foundation to begin with, the reason why the rise is not surprising. i wont be surprised if they will get ahead of BCH later on. eth is like a sleeping giant, waiting for their turn. and with the upcoming ETH 2.0, the price increase is forthcoming!

https://www.coindesk.com/95-confidence-ethereum-developers-pencil-in-july-2020-for-eth-2-0-launch

Bitcoin halving is expected to happen before May as of late.

ETH 2.0 is due in July. This could very well push Ethereum prices up more so than other altcoins.

Excited to see how it develops.

It's not that is hard to predict it. Market movement has pattern and this happening now to ethereum is not shocking cause the TA show that it will increase up to 500 up to May 2020 if the surge is continously in this level. IMO, the current level will continue to its support, as you can see the resistance is quite strong.

I don't think that the Ethereum price can continuously rise at the same pace until May. It will rise to $300 if we are lucky and then it will drop back under $200. People are getting excited by this market movement in the past week or more, but this is not the start of the new bull run. Regular fluctuations in cryptomarket, I will sell if it comes to $300, top can't be far from that.

no mate this is already the start of the bull run that many people awaits  .if i were you , i wont limit my expectations by this year but its true that prices of the coins have a break time . what i mean is that they cant continue to increase forever but at some point , they can stop and go down . eth is not also volatile as btc or other unstable coins but eth in my opinion is more likely close to as a stable coin   . its not hard to predict eth in this matter  , thats why many people are rooting for it  .

Before anything can happen, the total supply must be know. Spiting out 2 new ETH every 15 sec is not an viable option for the next 120 years.
It is like having a race with fiat who can produce faster.

Ethereum is a very good coin but the market is very volatile we can not just blame one coin for volatility, also the price of ether in the past few days rises and maybe there is a chance that it goes up more, hope for the best.

Ethereum coin ia very volatile to fluctuate now and it's so very hard to predict wthether to increase or decrease. But somehow we wish it to increase into huge posotive percentage so that it would benefit us bounty hunters.

Actually as ethereum reach the 200$ mark, that is already an achievement since it doesn't even reach that kind of price before. It is actually good because that is the highest so far this year. Lets just hope that the halving might cause an effect to the ethereum price that will cause for its price to grow and pump even more.

Well, expect that the market is always unpredictable due to some factors such as the volatility rate that is, I think a good factors and very appropriate for investment. Besides, I've read a lot of news that Josh Rager(a crypto veteran) pointing out that with all the bullish news development on ETH 2.0, buying at $200 is an opportunity.

Ethereum can easily beat this level now without any serious price correction - in my opinion. But the odds are not very high and I would rather be careful with this instrument.

Well, ethereum price has pump since you posted this thread. Eth has overcome a lot of resistance recently that many predict that it will surpass the $282 barrier in the coming weeks. Great developments are coming to the ethereum platform these coming months so expect some good things to come. Been holding eth for quite a while now and I am hoping to cash in soon.

It already passes the 200$ barrier so Ethereum is getting strong in past few days but I can say that Ethereum is very dependent to Bitcoin price because the movement of their graph is very identical.

Currently Ethereum is sitting at 228$ and is continuing to increase, so for the past 5 days it increase to 38$ which is a good start for Ethereum to comeback again this year 2020. I will not be surprise if we can see a new ATH of Ethereum price again, I am looking forward to it. 

If the momentum continues i think Eth is heading towards 500 mark especially if you analyse the monthly chart because last resistance of 350 does not seem a hurdle considering the strong demand that is perhaps triggered on the news of the Eth 2.0 launching in july.

well, if ethereum 2.0 can trigger an increase in ethereum prices, now I really want to launch ethereum 2.0 because many say that ethereum 2.0 can provide benefits in large quantities. if I see this is almost similar to the usual development and not too big.

Ethereum now still trying to break the higher price, and now it stays at $229. With the increase of bitcoin price, I guess ethereum will follow to increase too, and I think that sooner or later, ethereum will break more than $250-$300. We hope that after ethereum 2.0, the price can increase higher, so what we want to see will happen soon.

But we need to still careful with the market, especially with bitcoin price because there will be no guarantee if bitcoin price will still increase and break $11k in this short time. The chance for the market to adjust will be there, and we need to prepare the money to buy more if the market is down

Oh, my friend, I limited my expectations for a reason! I know that prices are going up, and I too believe that Ethereum will make a new all times high price one day, but that day will not be this year I think. It's my opinion, and I am trying to have reasonable predictions. In that way, I practice my patient too, I rarely get disappointed by the price movement in general. My trading is mid and long term, and I sold some Ethereums now over $200, I think it will drop and I will buy again!

You will never launch ethereum 2.0 but the developer of ethereum will do that in the future. The main benefit should be ethereum POS there will be another feature too that we will get from the serenity update. This is a big movement when major coin moves to the POS.

In the crypto space every coin is volatile which is why it is highly unpredictable as any thing can happen, at the same time part of the reasons why I find it hard believing news or posts about price prediction. Now talking about ETH price it really did broke pass the $200 mark and it went really high, while most held thinking it will surge pass $300 or as the case may be, some keep taking profit while others held; this is still part of the volatility being referred to. So one needs to understand what he is after so as to make good decisions.

yeap
I mean its either one up or one down

Ethereum is trying to break above $285 so many time previously and now we are down close to $200 and it couldn't break down
Thus, would expect price volatility to be between $200-$285

You are right, it's keep on struggling to break this $280+ barrier but due to high volatility it's unable to do that, as everyone know the eth future is bright but market situations are making it difficult to perform. However predictions from analyst says this year there will be a massive pump till the end of the year, let's wait for few more days to see a change.

woo ethereum (https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethereum) will go to $250 soon actually

Volatility helps ETH to soar high but it is also a reason why we suffer losses and huge market dumps. We even make at huge increase in the past days but it makes another drop again holding it back below $200k. Seeing that kind of trend, its gonna be a big struggle for ETH to make a huge increase unlike of 2017 where we are able to make at $1k ATH. Even though we are positive about the coming halving but it makes no assurance for it and fewer chances to break the 2017 market record.

Looking on that chart trend, I believed that will begin to recovery after the previous market downfall. $200 or higher can be possible to withstand in the next following months; just be patient and always be positive with our thoughts. Never entertain any negative speculations, because it will weaken your determination.

and the volatility is not the sole problem of eth, actually all alts even bitcoin. but the advantage of eth network over the other alts, is the strong development team supporting and developing it. the founder of eth, Buterin is very visible in crypto community. so even though eth has very volatile movement as like with others, I believe that eth is not a crap network like many projects that have been created, dumped and abandoned. Eth is in continuous pursuit to advance their platform and so the reason why we will be having eth 2.0

For me it is not surprising that the price of ethereum is very volatile, because indeed the volume of ethereum is very high and the demand
for ethereum is increasing. Therefore it is not surprising that ethereum is the best altcoins until now, ethereum prices are now beginning
to experience an increase of about 5%. This is also a sign that ethereum prices will soon rise even more dramatically than current prices,
I predict the possibility of ethereum approaching halving can be priced at $ 500.

strongly agree with the opinion above that ethereum is the best coin for altcoin and a source of reference for all new altcoin growth. look at the situation in 2019 ethereum is very less encouraging because the highest number can also not penetrate $ 400. with the world situation with corona virus will also be able to influence, whether the prediction of colleagues above that ethereum can reach $ 500 will be seen its development in the next few days.

You should do a more realistic analysis because the current Ethereum is still heavily dependent on Bitcoin price increase and will certainly not be able to reach new ATH this year. I think this coin is not widely chosen because the ICO is now dead and very few investors hold this coin in the long term. Personally, I sold them all when the coin reached $1,200 in 2017 and until now I haven't invested yet because it is possible that the price of Ethereum could return to $100 by the end of this year.

people hodl etherium not just for the sake of token creation or for ico but also for investment and for gas uses for doing trades on a dex exchange , and many more .  eth has a many uses  in which i believe itll always have the potential to jump even you said that ico are died now but ico did really died   ? i guess no  , not yet  because  there are still many bounties ico that are left actively working on this forum and as well as new ico being created for the purpose of the owners earning a profit but few have good purpose for the sake of  the public use  .

It is not just ethereum that is volatile these days, everything is super volatile. Ethereum started the year under 200 dollars, peaked around 260 as far as I can remember and then it dropped to 220ish dollars nowadays. Now don't get me wrong that is still super awesome because price was literally 130! dollars and that kind of means we peaked at x2 the increase at one point and dropped to 220 dollars which is still super high.

Of course bitcoin going up played a big role in this but eth not going down meanwhile and still holding its power was a big part as well. The whole market moved and volatile, so I think ethereum moving is not a big deal but the amount we increased this year is unbelievable.

But you should be aware that the dump for the coin will always be happen even for bitcoin itself which we think bitcoin have more user more then altcoin user. You have to see the price movement from $2000 to $40 as its all time low if I'm not mistaken, isn't it a dump? I believe it was a huge dump for an investment place. But in other side I have to agree with what you say, ethereum has strong developer and its comunity itself. We shouldn't be afraid when we hold ethereum and its price going to dump, we just need to hold it and wait the price will be back again.

you are very lucky if you bought ETH for $ 150. In this case, you really managed to make good money, but 80 percent of the people in the market bought Ethereum for $ 500. therefore, most likely the growth that we saw recently did not bring profit to most people, but simply reduced their losses.

The high demand and volatility in the coins does not have any correlation unless someone is pumping and dumping the coins, you really cannot consider ETH as a coin or a currency simply because it is not created for that aspect, it is a token creating platform and the ICO days are over and unless there is an utility for ETH you cannot see a huge rally.

The halving is happening in BTCitcoin and what does it has to do with ETH :P.

It is just a speculation that the price would rally as an speculative asset and you cannot sit on top of that prediction and expect the market to rise like that ;).

ETH can grow or fall in a short time, this coin is very volatile and very promising, I advise everyone to keep it in their wallet.

I guess majority of the coins in the market are now becoming volatile but bitcoin and ethereum have been very volatile these past few days which gives more thrill to their investors. Ethereum has dropped from its recent price update but i don't think this will drop even more because what i believe is that as soon as ethereum 2.0 will be updated, a good price increase is waiting for all the ethereum holders.

In recent days ETH prices continue to move at the level of $220 and $225, and of course this is ETH price resistance which is a bit quite low but in this case, we can see if there is a strong resistance to ETH prices can reach the level of $228, so if the price resistance of $228 is can be achieved again of course most likely there will be a bull run that again can occur in the next few days and reach the price range of $250 or $255 but if ETH fails to recover above the resistance level of $228, ETH prices may start another decline. On the downside, the initial support level is around $212.

The high demand and volatity in price of a coin does correlate with each other since the price of the market are determine by the level of demand and supply.
Thats because ETH sometime follow the trend of bitcoin especially through the halving season and the samething goes to altcoin that have good community support.

I totally agree with the fact that ethereum has a huge utility and that is one of the main reasons why people are holding ethereum. That is actually the main reason why the team decided to turn it into proof of stake as well since there would be hundreds of reasons for people to hold bitcoin when staking happens.

Even the ICO people who create new projects on ethereum will be able to hold their ethereum funding they receive and with the staking profits they are getting they will be able to pay the staff they have to continue working on it instead of constantly selling their ethereum funding they received which would cause prices to stay higher in the long term as well.

Yes you are right bro the eth have more volatile coin compared to other crypto coins because past few days the ethereum price has more movements like up and down. so I think once ethereum 2.0 launch we can see more movements like up forward in eth price.

Im feeling curious about what measures you have taken it as consideration to determine how volatile the coin is? as far as i know, if the altcoin that placed at the middle tier than ethereum is much more volatile. Ethereum is volatile enough but if you are watching the chart properly and the pressure that comes from the buy and sells order in the market less compared with another altcoin. Some coins like tezos and chainlink are much more volatile in this case. The volatility of ethereum really depends on the dapps, fundamental from the news and bitcoin.
Ethereum 2.0 doesn't even guaranteed the ethereum market will be more volatile than this time. Just take how fast the pump and dump for the price in the market as a good factor to determine how good the volatility of each altcoin.

It isn't just ETH every crypto is volatilebthe price of each crypto could go wild any moment,
It only depends on the market situation and of course the traders.
The volatility of crypto is what most of us are using to gain profit and that is also the reason why other business wouldn't accept it in terms of payment.

Traders and investor have the bigger part and influence in terms of market movements, ETH have a lots of supporters and scalpers the actions that they've take brings the directions for this project. The more this people workout and manage to position their respectives targets the more movements that will
be created from this projects.
Volatility needs to be overcome in order to trace and follow the right patterns for your investment.

It's true that the volatility depends on the market situation, this means the whole market including bitcoin as their movement is mostly correlated with each other. Bitcoin as the most dominant coin in the market, controls the market, so expect that ETH will continue to move when bitcoin continues to be volatile.

For traders, especially the day traders, they like more volatility as there is more opportunity for them to trade.

I think, at the moment the volatile ethereum price movement of 80% is influenced by bitcoin prices. however, ethereum prices are currently very fast moving when bitcoin prices rise or fall. however, I believe that the increase in ethereum prices will occur when the development of ethereum 2.0 occurs.
the need for the ethereum function will increase afterward, even more so if the price of bitcoin increases, I think the push for encouragement will make the ethereum price become very high.

Ether is very volatile to make a profit with ETH, you have to keep in mind that ETH, although promising, can easily fall in price.

Not only Ethereum, but all altcoins are also very volatile unless they are a stable project. Altcoin in the last few months has tended to be easier to go up or down when bitcoin moves. And Ethereum itself goes up to $200 more exactly a few days after you post until now Ethereum still stands at $200+

   People forget that entire market is volatile, except stable coins. For me that is normal, we expect Ethereum and many other coins to
grow in price a lot, but that growing a lot has it's price. It needs to be volatile, to move up and down like crazy before any significant
price rise.
    I am the one who bought Ethereum at +400$ in 2017, but I also bought under 100$ in 2018. I am a long-term holder and I believe
in Etheruem future. Current volatility is normal, it happens to all young projects with high goals!

ETH is always a good investment for long term. I think that there also are a number of shortterm of midterm traders involved with etherum charts and the most volatile price for etherum might be earning decent profits for those. But the markets for etherum are quite riskier for short term if we do not have immense knowledge about how the markets actually work. It is better to invest for long term if ever we are not confident with short term trading.

Usually, we could adjust out buy and sell orders by considering the support and resistance levels by adjusting our orders somewhat near them. Almost each of the altcoins are most volatile which makes earning profits a bit complicated but not impossible.

Ethereum does not have much volatility but this coin depends heavily on the value of Bitcoin. For me, this coin is still very risky when choosing to invest and will certainly make you lose money without an effective strategy. I have tried investing in the past and have made a large profit from this coin but recently I am very disappointed because this coin cannot increase as before and always makes me feel nervous.

That't already given mate, when you invest in crypto regardless of what coin you'll pick, there is already an inherent risk on that.
The thing is, we are playing with the demand and supply here and there is no assurance that demand will continue to rise, and take note, manipulation happens from time to time.

Well then, you should consider looking for other coin if you don't fee ETH would not grant your wish, but I tell you, those who are patient enough will be rewarded as for me, ETH is a high potential coin.

$195 was a strong support for etherum which it broke days ago and that is what made etherum run on a descending graph. Anytime any coin breaks through the support level than it gets difficult to stop that specific coin from experiencing a initial dump. ETH is been showing huge price moments which also opened doors for a lot of leverage traders to make great profits from the down trend.

I think that this would revert back once bitcoins start growing again so we could see etherum going above $200 again which is also going to give a lot of profits to the leverage traders. I think that ETH is not yet ready to push through $200 but in future it would soon be.

Isn't Ethereum currently at $ 236? I think that's more than $ 200 means the profit by the leverage trader has been reached, but the next target is whether Ethereum can afford to $ 300 because it has to pass some resistance so it is likely that in the next few months it will happen.
Last night bitcoin was only able to $ 9100 and not as good as what was imagined in the bullish yesterday.

Eth is well established and its capability isn't questionable. Volatility as a given characteristic of any cryptocurrency so changes are always expected to happen. Ethereum never fails to surprise us even if we check its history so when it comes to investment, it's always advisable to choose it.

Did ETH really break $195? It must have happened so quickly and recovered just as quickly because I totally don't remember that. I saw at the lowest point perhaps $218 (and too lazy to go to a chart now to see it).

Support is clearly at $200 for now but it can go real easy at this stage.

There must be something about this since ETH just suddenly rise although this volatility of the market is always present so there's still a chance that ETH might drop anytime soon. I wish this won't lead to another bearish trend since we all know after the bullish market bearish market will comes next. I'm just glad that ETH did manage to rise again and it looks so bullish compared to other altcoins.

Volatility in eth is no different with other alts or bitcoin. So I would not treat eth's situation as an outlier. But one thing that I am sure of, the eth foundation is solid than many other crap alts out there. This is the reason why it stays strong in the market. And we know for sure, Buterin is not sleeping on his project. Though not literally, but I don't think Buterin will let his project die for no reason. This is one of the strong points of eth, the dev team behind it.

That will be the next target barrier since the market still not in it's bullish momentum but this coin is starting to rise up. $200 already been passed
now another 5% up for this coin, if this will continue to run like this then expect that it will make a huge jump.
Everything is possible as crypto market always bringing unexpected things so be wise and anticipate things according to your own understanding,.

Buterin and his team work very well on ethereum. Now we are expecting the introduction of major improvements in this coin and, perhaps, after that, its prospects will not cause any doubts. In terms of price volatility, ethereum is the same as other altcoins because it, like the entire cryptocurrency, still depends on the price dominance of bitcoin. It is believed that ethereum in its development in the future may be freed from the dominance of bitcoin. I would like to see it.

And I don't think we need to worry about this volatile. We can't either stop this kind of volatility and to the fact that it is the nature of crypto, we better have to accept it. In fact, not only Ethereum have this but also Bitcoin. Besides, this volatility that most complaints with is also having a positive side and in that way, we can able to buy coins at low and generate profit when we sell it at a high price. Thus, I don't see any reason why we should make this a big deal but to be thankful for its nature.

And Buterin is working for Etherum 2.0 that will be launching soon so we can expect more functionality for this second great currency ,with its release and accompanied by the effect of bitcoin halving i am sure we can expect more of this movement upwards.
Yups recovering with Bitcoin and other good altcoins so i dont really find why did OP mention this as very volatile while all of the legit currencies are having the same flow?

ETH has shown over a long time that it is quite volatile, ETH can be invested for trading as well as for the long term because ETH can grow very much in a short time.

Shorter time isn't guaranteed that it would bring us a sustainable profit because bear market still influenced many traders, particular with the holders. Volatile market on cryptocurrency is a default behavior, and this present for so many years since the existence of bitcoin. In handling our asset, we must see to it that the rules of supply and demand will be followed.

Holders does not care about the volatility in my own thinking because we are the one who can carry the market situation,we dont even care losing for the time being because i know that we can reach the top if we can take more time of waiting.
All crypto currencies are volatile so please dont take ethereum as single out,and all currencies are showing volatility same as eth ,but we can see more function sooner.

There is something we can't escape from volatility, in fact, we live this thing since the day that ETH is created. But if we look at its fluctuating rate compared to the other altcoins, you can find that ETH didn't have that much volatility. If I have to invest Ethereum, I'll consider this as a long term investment rather than of short-term one because you can just make money if you can manage to hold it for a long time.

I think the ethereum market is stronger than the other assets. maybe a fast chart movement occurs because of a sudden drop in the price of bitcoin. of course, it not only affects ethereum but also other assets. I agree with you, ethereum will be better for the long term than for a daily trade.

ETH is really very volatile, this confirms its daily trading volume to me, then such volatility for ETH is only beneficial.

Of course the price of ETH will increase when there is good news or the altcoin season appears but until now I think the coin is still very much dependent on the price of Bitcoin so in the near future this coin may drop even more.

In my opinion, choose the new coins available in this market because those options are more profitable for investors and if you're lucky you can earn double the profit. However, the crypto market is the most unpredictable place and you can't be sure of anything when join.

But also Bitcoin is volatile right?and other altcoins specially from the top 50 and still they are moving according to what Bitcoin does so basically?nope it is not just Ethereum and also Bitcoins.
yup that is it,Ethreum is much better to Hold like Bitcoin and not to use as daytrade,having a high Price compared to ripple or litecoin?this can be one volatile currency but worth it to handle.

ETH is very volatile of course, but it is almost entirely dependent on Bitcoin, if Bitcoin does not grow or fall, then ETH will also stand still.

Looking with etehreum price today make us most disappointed because we got lower price of ethereum, impact from bitcoin going down drastically make many altcoin allow for lower price and ethereum keep continue for going down.

ethereum prices are currently down due to the influence of bitcoin prices, so when bitcoin prices rise again, I think ethereum prices will recover. yeah, the point is in bitcoin. however, this is an opportunity for investors. You know, halving will happen soon, I think it will affect the price of bitcoin and ethereum, at least up to the price of $ 9k or $ 10k.

there are many altcoins that are very volatile, Ethereum is indeed one of them, but Ethereum is the best altcoin project, so naturally if the price is very volatile, if you are a holder then you will ignore that, but if you are a trader the risk is indeed like that

Of course ETH is very volatile, but the problem is that it keeps following Bitcoin, even though ETH is volatile, but when Bitcoin goes down, ETH can't do anything and it goes down too.

That has been the trend, we can't change that but we can take advantage following the trend.

It's not actually ETH only, the whole altcoins are following bitcoin's movement because it has dominated the market with a big percentage of dominant rate.
To make it easy to understand, bitcoin is volatile, so when it move significantly, it will shake the whole market.

On seeing what is here, I decided to check the current market price of Ethereum and I tried to compare it with BSV. I was every surprised that bot could have the same price. I saw $110 for both. If care is not taken, Ethereum will fall below that and it will be more disappointing.
To me, Ethereum is gradually becoming a total shit coin. Although, that is what some people call it and i am not seeing anything lesser.
At least, with the look of things, some coins have increased a little more, but for Eth, it keeps on falling.

before I write this post, before I see the price of eth first, and it's below the price you wrote down, which is $ 116 and hopefully, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow this eth price will increase

Personally, I have a very high expectation from Ethereum, but today I have a lot of questions that I have no answer to.  First of all, we are talking about the cost of ethereum, which, according to many analysts, is at the level of 500 dollars.  It turns out that at the current price, miners suffer losses.  In addition, it is necessary to take into account the fact that Ethereum was originally planned to be used as fuel for the erc20 platform, and it is logical to assume that fuel should not be too expensive.  But today there are already quite a lot of opportunities where Ethereum can also be used as a means of payment.  It is precisely because of this that the question arises of how much is a great price for ethereum.

Exactly, ETH is dependent on BTC that's the thing. The number of people using digital currency is steadily increasing so it's a kind of excitement for the Investors as well, the reason for volatility might be because it's a trustworthy alternative currency in the world. By this logic it makes a lot of sense to buy, sell and invest to be honest there is no way for a definition on the impact of volatility on digital currency.

There is not much hope for the price of this coin because for the time being the coin has been heavily dependent on the price of Bitcoin and if Bitcoin cannot rise, do not expect too much in Ethereum. I have analyzed many times Ethereum and it is not really popular because now the ICO is dead and people have no reason to invest in this coin.

I don't know if we have dropped as further as we can or if we will do any better but it looks like we are doing a bit better last days. We have tried to go down under 100 dollars and so forth, but bitcoin prices increases as well and ethereum is doing better too.

I think whatever has happened already happened and we are not really going down anymore, we already did and this was it, I suspect this was the last of the drops. From here on out we will probably be better and go up, maybe it will take time, maybe we will stay here for months before we see another increase, but I do not think we will go down under 5k too much anymore (not counting 4.8k+ in general). I could be wrong but it looks definitely like that is the situation right now to me.

If for the price of $ 200, for me it's something that is difficult for now. but we all do not know the price that will happen tomorrow. because if the world economic situation has improved, of course this will also affect the development of world of crypto.

Now the virus is very seriously hindering crypto development, but now there are good coins at cheap prices, the virus will pass over time and the coins will start to grow in price.

Today's Ethereum price is most likely the general tendency for the cryptocurrency market to fall, and not the fall in the popularity of ETH.  I believe in this coin, I do not know that the ETH platform has a high demand among users and Ethereum has much higher technical characteristics than even bitcoin.  I am convinced that the future of Ethereum is secure, but I am concerned about the issue that is important today, namely, what is connected with the extraction of Ethereum, since its cost is much higher than the current price of $ 130 per coin.  We understand that Ethereum mining has significant energy costs and increased equipment wear, and this costs a lot of money.

It is not only ethereum that is highly volatile but all the coins. Whatever happens in ethereum is always a replicate of what happens to bitcoin. That is why I keep on telling friends that the cryptocurrencies market in general needs a new trading approach and if you used traditional trading tools or indicators in trading it you might be wipe out of the market.

It's not yet passed. Crypto becomes the alternative way for people from infected countries to use it to fill all of their needs. This helps crypto to be an alternative solution for so many people in this crisis.
You say that there was a lot of cheap coins right now but remember about the problem is we don't know where the market will be going on. Just try to keep our distance from the big risk.

The peak of the crisis is far ahead, so talking about cheap coins is really very early. As for the convenience of using cryptocurrencies now, this is true, but unfortunately there are many drawbacks - for example, the economic decline that affects everything and cryptocurrencies as well.

When bitcoin dump, I thought this is really cause by the global pandemic, but I am surprise it pumped and stayed stable at the current price.
Majority would think that crypto market will not be exempted for the global market fall down, but I like to think it will do the opposite.

I am not an expert, all I say is just my opinion based on my observation and the fact that crypto market is very unpredictable, I'd like to believe that my expectation would happen, and this is not only for bitcoin but for ETH and other altcoins as well.

Keep your distance and assess everything before you come into conclusion whether to invest or not. The market direction still unclear and we
should know what is best to our investment. Never to judge base from  others opinions but in instead in  time like this we should all follow
our own instinct and observations.

Many analysts expressed their opinion that Ethereum was already very far removed from altcoin, since it has its own blockchain and is considered a full-fledged coin, which allows it to be independent of the price of bitcoin.  On the one hand, I believed this, since today the cryptocurrency market has a universal downward trend in prices, because even when Bitcoin rose from $ 3,000 for the whole of 2019 to $ 11,000, not all cryptocurrencies reacted to this upward movement of Bitcoin.  Based on this, I believe that in the cryptocurrency market there are other factors influencing the situation, and in this case, ethereum can be truly independent.

sometimes it comes to mind that ETH can be more independent and less affected by bitcoin price movements.
fluctuating if it has a large volume such as ETH I personally never leaven the slightest of course, for this is very useful to me for daily trading.

it passed this value of 200$ to reach 249$ this year and its not a bad record though.

but today as all of the currencies are dropping again,meaning Pumping and Dumping there are no chance so far to hit another 200$ and instead we will suffering this bear for long until the corona issue resolved.

but at one point?this is a chance for Ethereum believers to Buy more now and wait for the Grow again soon.

If this pandemic did not happen Ethereum would have reached the $400 level it was going up it follows the price of Bitcoin before this thing happens, they still retain their position I don't see why traders should lose hope in Ethereum all the coins and the whole market today is very volatile no need to pinpoint on Ethereum only.

everyone sees it . i was impressed when that moment happen that i said to myself that wow for a long time eth finally moving in an upward position along with bitcoin  and some other but actually btc is the one that moved first   .

 not just today but crypto market were been volatile the whole time , so why loose hope anyway ? but i forgot that its normal , every market crash there are those people that cries and feel like quiting but they come back again once they see that market is doing well . dont mind them

You are right, there are many other potential coins facing the same situation, which Covid 19 is destroying the entire market. Bitcoin price is increasing and destroying this makes ETH price kept fluctuating, this makes many people think the ETH is volatile.

The stock market has also partially recovered, but we know the reason - a massive infusion of liquidity. Fundamentally, nothing has changed - there are huge problems in the economy and if the market is not manipulated, it will collapse. I think the same processes are happening in the crypto. At the moment, market makers are able to hold the market. How long this will last is unknown.

You are right! Ethereum is very volatile, I had hope when the price reaches to more than $200. But after, it changed and the behavior of the market returned to the downside and if we add the problem of Coronavirus. We will have difficult times to reach recovery in the market and the entire economy.

Wait? I mean if the price is dumped and you sell because of it, you are going to lose money in the end, that is not really a solution, how could you make a profit when you sell while price is down? You can't, and that is why you have to really just wait.

The better option is to buy, think about it, if you have USDT or any fiat in your hands during a bottom like this, you can put a buy order at 4k and wait around, you know it won't go under 4k but lets assume it did, you know it will recover as well, maybe in a day (like what happened recently) or maybe in a month or maybe in a year but you know you will double your profits without a doubt. That is why buying during the bottom is the best thing you can do, second best thing would be waiting around until it goes back up.

Making lost in the end when someone sell at the downtrend market completely vary because the price range the person bought his holding is what matter cause selling to stop lost or save the little portion of profit make is still a smart choice to me.

Buying at the bottom price is better option as you said but it better to keep the capital in stablecoin which is not USDT and fiat.

Volatility is indeed very risky, and it is very difficult to read price movements if volatility is high, but Ethereum is not always Volatility, all tokens and coins depend on Bitcoin, if the price of Bitcoin Volatility goes up, then trading on altcoin will also increase volatility, always use the best strategy, Good luck

Right now it is stabilizing a bit but we do not need it to stabilize at this stage, not at this price, we need it to be a little bit more on the higher price before it stabilizes.

For example, if it was like this at around 180-200 dollar levels that would have been better. The price was around 230-240 levels anyway, so the price of 180 would be a bit of fall already, it wouldn't be an increase, just like bitcoin at around 6.6 price which is around 15-20% lower than previously before the fall, price of ethereum could have been 180 to 200 and that would have been a bit normal.

However 130-140 levels are just too low for it to stabilize right now. So volatility is working towards us if it happens again, we need it to go up a lot more before it can stay stagnant.

When we say the market is volatile, it doesn't mean that everyday the price will move.
Crypto is only called more volatile because it has a lot of significant movement so far, there are pumps and dumps that are unexpected, and they say crypto is manipulated by whales which I also agree since it would not move that big if whales are not manipulating it.

However, for day traders, I think this is what they are looking because this would be their chance to trade regular and gambling with their skills.

No need to question anything, ETH and other coins/tokens are very volatile even BTC, well, I agree with other statements that is because it makes a lot of movements when it comes to price but all we know that every coins will move because of BTC's movement, that's it and no need to say anything.

Unfortunately it wont. Somehow most of the altcoins price depends on what happen to Bitcoin and most likely they will follow the trend as when Bitcoin goes red then altcoins would do the same as well.

What are you talking about? It doesn't matter if it has less volume than ETH if certain altcoins are good to trade.

If you really look at the price of ethereum in bitcoin terms it hasn't really changed all that much, in the last 1 week for example ethereum has been between 0.02 and 0.021 and that's it, hasn't changed as much as 10% in the last week, always been the same for the bitcoin price pair, however if you look at it in the dollar column it has moved from bottom of 125 dollars to peak of 145 dollars, that is a huge change in dollar price which tells me right now all of ethereums price change is depending on what the bitcoin price will be.

If bitcoin goes up, ethereum goes up as well, if bitcoin goes down ethereum goes down as well. Which means there is really no volatility in ethereum anymore, there is volatility in bitcoin and that makes ethereum look like it has some volatility when there isn't any.
