I wonder what is the main reason why did the ethereum is on bull run? Is it because of the Constantinople upgrade?

I do not think so. I don't see any reasons for ETH growth. Constantinople will be only at the end of January. I think that at this week growth will turn into a fall

Ethereum had very bad times even against Bitcoin.
The current "Bull run" is just a recovery of the loses from the last 30 days against Bitcoin.

It may have been of help that Ethereum is back in the news and they are good news. The money seems to start flowing back into crypto and Ethereum is basically the major "second" crypto investment after Bitcoin. And since the price it was SO low, it could have been a better investment.


The next update may be somewhat a culprit too, since from what I've read it'll reduce the block reward, making Ethereum mining more expensive.

I totally agree with you, the ethereum was about 1/10 of bitcoin a few months ago. Now it's about 1/30 and trying to slowly recover. Now the ethereum's worth is not real, it should be more than current value.

I think because a lot of people are starting to hear that eth and bitcoin will do hardfork together , hardfork coin name is bithereum , and also eth will do hardfork itself in January and the hardfork name is constantinopel I think there will be a big change in the eth system and everyone might want these hardfork coins so they started buying eth now.

I'm from Indonesia, some of us buy ethereum because ETH & BTC will hardfork ;)however it will be like bitcoin cash. as you know if top coin added an hardfork event, this is a big potential to increase up to 100% :) slowly ICOs the king will wake up :D

There are two main reasons why Ethereum is pumping during the last several days. First of all within 3 weeks there will be an Ethereum hardfork and people are buying some Ethereum to get a new coin and secondly the devs have announced Ethereum 2.0 blockchain update.

Ethereum has its intrinsic value but it lost a lot of its market value especially comparing to Bitcoin. The bull run simply recovers previous losses and balance the value between ETH and BTC.

it's an overall market trend, fellas

because it is not on a bull run!

this is just a tiny recovery  after a long time of getting dumped and most part of it is actually a bull trap by whales so that they can let the price go a little higher before they dump some more on the market and take a quick and big profit.

I saw no news related to this.
It's a 30% up, but it is not a bull run.

It's interesting to see that ethereum is finally recovering. Ethereum price is still too low, probably because of low Dapps adoption and constant delays in Casper

Ethereum and reasons for its growth in 2019

1) Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (QLDB)

I think many of you have seen the news that one of the world's largest corporations, Amazon, is creating a new platform to quickly create blockchain applications on the Ethereum or Hyperledger architecture.

“Amazon Managed Blockchain makes it easy to create and manage scalable blockchain chains using popular Ethereum and Open Source Hyperledger Fabric technologies. With a few clicks, Amazon Web Services (AWS) management console clients can set up a network of chains that can span multiple AWS accounts and scale to support thousands of applications and millions of transactions

Great news that directly affects the mass-adoption blockchain applications in our daily life and growth, respectively, due to the huge number of transactions that we can conduct on the air network.

2) Constantinopole and Casper Update

The same Proof-of-Stake and Sharding technologies that will be added to the update will allow you to scale the network and bring bandwidth to a whole new level in 1 million transactions per second.

Proof-of-Stake is a consensus algorithm that excludes the possibility of an attack of 51%, increases the level of security of the entire network and reduces its energy consumption.
In the framework of the PoS algorithm, the validators are not responsible for maintaining the network operability. Unlike miners, for whom the computational power of their nodes plays a key role, steak is important for validators - their share of network cryptocurrency. The more steak that is offered as a deposit, the higher the reward for each checked and proposed block.

Sharding technology offers the rejection of full nodes, thanks to the load sharing between all nodes of the network - shards. From individual shards, a so-called Merkle tree, or a hash tree, is formed, which is used to efficiently store transactions in the blockchain, since it allows you to get a “fingerprint” of all transactions in the block, and also effectively verify transactions. The sharding of the Ethereum blockchain involves the simultaneous operation of several shards, like wires, combined into one cable. Due to this, the capacity of the entire network will have to increase from 15 TPS to 1000 TPS and then to 1 million.

Also, the introduction of the Constantinopole update will reduce the block reward from 3 ETH to 2 ETH and the miners within the framework of the POW-POS hybrid algorithm will receive 33% less profit, and considering the problems with the self-sustainability of farms, the price for the "new broadcast" should also increase at least 33%. So it will be until the network completely switches to POS.

3) Mathematical evaluation of the cost of cryptocurrency

The value of any network is determined by the number of transactions in it and the more of them, the higher the price of the base unit (in our case, the broadcast).
Remember the number of transactions Bitcoin at the peak of popularity in December 17 and get an example of how the number of transactions (due to high interest) affects the price of the asset.

Mathematical evaluation of the value of cryptocurrency

These 3 factors will be the reasons for the growth of Aether in the coming 2019, while the ICO bubble that caused the last boom is forever in the past.

There may be two basic reasons for eth trend reversal one you can find on the chart. If you see long time frame that is weekly we can see a morning star pattern which indicates bullish trend reversal secondly we have strong fundamentals around eth due to upgrades and scalability issues resolution coming from next month so i think it is good time to get in for more profits.

ETH Hardfork is coming in the January 2019. The actual miners’ reward for the creation of new blocks is 3 ETH, in late August devs announced that they want to reduce it to 2 ETH for one block. 

Just my views

Guys I think this is a small recovering after a long time, Never consider it as a bull run there is still a long way to go. Few say BTC and ETH are going to do hardfork, I never heard anything about this also a relevant source will give us a correct solution.

I concur. Ethereum was also  biggest casualty wigth bitcoin dumps. Now I think its recovering  since its very low and people are buying it. Also in addition there are good news about eth and with its upcoming update this January, people are stocking up their holds.

Eth co founder has also announced that crypto bottom is just over and when eth crashed to around 80 bucks was the ultimate bottom this news and alongwith upcoming constantinople upgrade eth seems to be moving in the right direction and trend reversal can almost be seen already, i think if the hype and fomo kicks in eth can hit 500 in no time.

As for now i dont have any news about ETH but im not surprise with it current price, because ETH is a great project i think for sure thier is a good news and many people gets hype and fomo, i think eth will hit again 1k$ this 2019.

I wouldn't call this growth a bullish rally, but when i consider that I bought a few ethers at $ 80, it is a small profit. :) But if i remember that the rest of the ether purchases were at the level of 200-250-300, then I just reduced the losses a little. :'( But I believe that this is only the beginning, but this time we will hardly reach 150 dollars, may be next year.

Same as everything else, bitcoin went up, eth went up, xmr went up. Basically in crypto market when it goes up it goes all together and when it goes down it goes down all together, there is never a change on that. Is there some coins that go up while others go down ? Yeah sure, sometimes but it doesn't really stay too long, remember ripple ?

It got high for a while when everything was falling but than it didn't kept up and fell down as well.

Hence, basically ethereum doesn't have a "bull run", bull run is something takes a bit of time and goes much higher than this, when you see a bull run you will know, last year bitcoin went from 1400 to 20 thousand in 2 months, that was a bull run, going from 90 to 120 is not. However it is a great start and I really hope it will continue like this so we could at least cover a bit of our losses.

Chill its not yet the bull run for Ethereum. Yes maybe that's the reason why it is pumping today.

People are buying it for the preparation of Constantinople upgrade soon. No free coin for this fork but maybe that's just it. A norm was formed when there's an event like this, many are expecting pump.

This is a nature of cryptocurrency market.. ethereum also downed beginning of this year..now it starting journey again. Ethereum is always trying to bull run. But pass days not chance to it. for reason panic sellers sold there own Eth.

Well, that I think is because of the future hardfork that will going to happen in a few moment right now, maybe in q1 2019.

As of now the price of ethereum is quite moving forward and the price is now surpass the $100. Why they predict that there will be a bull run in ethereum simply because of its new upgrade and most of the investors of ethereum are now waiting for this moment. The upgrading of ethereum will be happen in January 2019.

the reason is because Ethereum is a coin that is very badly reduced in price this year, so now ETH will rise more at the beginning.
and there are several factors such as good news that supports bro.

I think we can't call this a bull run because of it just only a short period with a small percentage of increase if it will stay longer with a constant moving up of price then the bull is already awake.

I think this is a normal rebound from such a big fall , we have not yet broken the resistance line and I think we will continue to fall and look for a new bottom

There is not bull run for ETH, it seems as a bull run only if you stand at the bottom of valey but if you back away , you will see that this is just a relief rally ( for now).
I dont see any reason for ETh going up eveen higher, maybe pnly few steps as a part of relief rally.

Just market trend.
And IMHO because of not really good investment reports from USA.
Apple and so on showing bad results, and people looking for alternative investment solution, crypto is low, and good potential.

I think the major reason that massive increase in the past 48 hours is caused by FOMO buyers, but I believe that the price will soon sterilized and the market will become normal.

I think it's the bitcoin effect. Bitcoin for a change decided to go upstairs and behind him other altcoins, including Ethereum. :)

This is not the bull run mate, just recovering! I think ETH price will hit 200 USD at the end of this month, or after the Christmas or holidays! Though I don't know the exact reason why the crypto market is pumping gradually but it's like normal! I mean after a huge price drop, the price started growing!

Seems like yes, but honestly i'm not sure that the main reason is the Constantinople hard fork, i think that the main reason is that ETH is really undervalued now and buying it below $100 is a new years gift for all who believes in it, especially if we consider this movement like a market turning around.

I don't think so. It's enough time before Constantinople. Maybe huge investor bought a lot of ETH. Also it might be the first wave of bullrun ;D As for me, I hold Ethereum and would be happy, if it will continue growing.

Now there is no good news on the ETH. it’s just a surprised growth and it’s not grounded. yes this coin has an update soon, but that means nothing

Coins are constantly growing and falling in price and this is not always the case for objective reasons. Perhaps big capital wanted to slightly change the prices on the cryptocurrency market.

That's a good question to be honest. The easiest answer would be to say that Constantinople will hit at the end of January, but I think there is more to this strong rise. I also think that ETH got hardly oversold and now the price is correcting itself to some healthy level.

Also, the overall bull market right now is definitely helping, almost everything is rising.

In technically a lot of crypto price rising now,, seems the price already hit the bottom,,
Then just like the past,,,
After hit the bottom a bouncing price will show up,,
Also a demands already coming to crypto world too my friend

Ethereum trading at below 100usd was always a golden opportunity. There is simply no way ether will have continued at such a low price. I strongly believe it got that low as a result of waves manipulation. After bagging a lot, they have decided to pump it and take profits in the process. I still think this is wholly the responsibility of the whales and those controlling a chunk of the Ethereum reserves. Ethereum is a strong token and together with btc, it doesn't take them much to recover after a major dip.

The only reason for the rise in price of ethereum will be the arrival of large investors and, as a consequence, a change in trend.

i believe a lot of good news coming to crypto especially ethereum next year
if i'm not wrong, in fumdamentally good news will create new demands my friend

It's how the market behaves, since it experience a down trend for the past month and now it definitely should be a bounce back. Since BTC is also recovering, then everything should always be followed. This is why we should always be have some trust about it because it will always gives a better price for the sake of hodling.

I think the main reason for the bull run of ETH is the high demand of this crypto at the end of this year when X'mas are coming, and a lot of people want to buy ETH to hold in the next year 2019. The hard fork of Ethereum will occur in January 2019, and I think the price of ETH will rise after it happened.

I really had a lot of surprises when I looked at the price of the ETH coin, and I was very concerned about the reason why the ETH has soared recently. And now I understand, thank you for your sharing.

Well I guess the hardfork has something to do to it, becuase they said, in the future there will be a hardfork that will going to happen. Another thing is that, ERC 20 will going to be listed on coin base and I guess it has a positive implication to ETH. That is why people are investing way too much now in Eth compared to other cryptocurrency in the cryptocurrency space.

I guess most are positioning already for the Constantinople upgrade this coming January.
Either the price continues the uptrend or it falls a week before the upgrade.

Let's look forward to a brighter New Year for Ethereum platform.  ;D

I will not try to argue with your post but it looks like totally wrong and why? did you see that? The market has plunged again and it could be another horrible thing to create panic sell. But ETH still remain strong consider it has gained the major support again.

I think yes, ETH will become much more stronger against BTC, due to their January mainnet upgrade. Also ETH price fell huge and now time to grow up.

Well the market seems to be dumping today after 5 or so green days. But hopefully the next 24 hours we'll see the green regain some steam.

Ohh, I see ETH bull run because of this news...

I was through is just an ordinary pump from Whales. But unfortunately, I rekt didn't buy ETH when is still reach under $100  :'(

I hope ETH can reach at least $150 at the end of this year...

I doubt any of these reasons had anything to do with Ethereum rallying recently. The primary reason for this rally in my opinion is the rally by Bitcoin(King of the cryptocurrency market) which helped many popular cryptocurrencies in this manner.

This market works in mysterious ways. Bitcoin is the primary driving factor for this market and many people seem to forget that for some silly reasons. I highly doubt this rally will continue for long and this could simply be a mini rally.

This is a reason, but I think as long as it wants to regain the second position, but this has been predicted by XRP, so it has failed, but I believe it will come beyond XRP. XRP also rose yesterday.

I think there should be a definite reasons for this bull run of Ethereum. If it continues like this for another week, then it will be a signal for strong bullish trend. There are also rumors that Ethereum 2.0 is coming and it will be a fork of Ethereum 1.0 which means people are buying this in order to get access to Ethereum 2.0.

Bull market for ethereum is as a result of unsustainable price dumping of ether! The season of holiday and positive feeling it generate might also contributed to the bull!
Constantinople upgrade bull is coming on it's own! So, get ready!

Hardfork is the main reason of the pump, because people are buying Ethereum to get some free coins. Another great update is that the major update of blockchain is going to be released in the first quarter of 2019.

I think it is just a correction occurred in ETH value because it's value has dropped too much this year.
But if ETH successful upgrading their network, surely it will affecting the price of ETH in the market.
But we cannot conclude it is a bull run yet, because it could be only a small correction.

Yes, it looks like a correction inside a downtrend. The reason for this correction may be the closure of short positions before the Christmas holidays in order to take profits.

I can’t call it a bull wound, as this price rise is quickly over and now there are prerequisites to go back down

Merry Christmas maybe the reason for the ETH prices to increases,and also the other crypto currencies.

But all the crypto currencies were again coming to their bottom level near in the last 24 hours,so we cn't find the accurate reasons for these movements since it is highly common volatile in the crypto prices.

many people argue that ethereum will be a bull run when their hard fork was created in January next year, but the reason that makes the most sense to me is because when bitcoin bulls run then that's the reason that will make the reason ethereum follow it

yesterday's price increase I think is only a small correction of ethereum prices, now the price is back down, the possibility of a bull run won't happen later this year, but at least there is a price increase from before, hopefully the beginning of the year there will be a significant increase in ethereum

ETH didn't have a "bull" run, it actually just corrected itself.
After all not too long ago ethereum was still high but price of bitcoin fall and for some reason ethereum fell even harder than bitcoin, right now we are not going up because of bull run but we are just recovering to the point where eth just lost as much as bitcoin lost and not more.

There was absolutely no reason for Ethereum to fall more than any other coin and when that happened everyone was shocked, we expected a fall, you don't really expect ethereum to stay still while everyone falls but going lower than others was a surprise. So right now, all ethereum is doing is increasing faster than others because it decrease faster than others as well, that's all. Thankfully I had some ethereum stashed foreseeing this and now I am a happy camper.

i think its about the upcoming fork..but maybe there is another reason as well for this price hike.. lets hope that this hike will continue till 1000$ is reached

There is only one reason, I think that today, investing in ETH can definitely improve the situation with price. Therefore, today I still try to invest in ETH, because soon there will be new upgrades of this project.

I think Ethereum was going up because the general market was making a move. And most importantly i think it is due to thw new Constantinople release upcoming on the Ethereum network. That could also be a major reason for the recent pump we experienced.

I do agree with you, the only reason I see responsible for the recent price movement is the coming fork which will reduce the block reward from 3 to 2, this is a significant deal because that means the inflation rate will be reduced by 33%. another thing I see is th reduction in dump of Ether tokens on the market by ICO developers since there is no a significant drop the the amount of money raised in the market

Hardly it can be called a bullish race, a small increase after a strong fall. I think when we see Ethereum at a price higher than $ 300 it can be called really growth.

I really do not know the major reason for the massive run in Ethereum, but I believe when one keeps investing, things like this are meant to happen. In fact, I do not see this as a massive rise because I still expect more of this next year.

The reason for bull run is simply a case of oversold asset.  Ether has dumped below it's intrinsic value and it has to turn up,  making a reversal that had been long time coming!  Ether will still riding the positive feelings of the Christmas season for a while till next year probably!

Agree with you, now the rising of Ethereum is little a bit, and I think when the price of ETH reach more than $300, the bull run of Ethereum will happen, and I think that will happen soon because the next year will be the year of ETH with the hard fork upcoming. And after the hard fork completed, the price of ETH will reach a peak.

Wait, I do not see such prices. I see that today there is generally no growth. If you are talking about some small growth, then it probably cannot be called something very useful in general. Yet today we can hope for this growth, but no more.

for me, the price increase was certainly not a bull run. i was pleased, but i had no great hopes for an extreme price increase. i expect a price increase after the next update, but i would not rely on that.

That was not even a bull run.

There was no news attributed to that mini-recovery so it is more likely that it was just riding from the Bitcoin run. Real Eth Bull run may start after the hardfork.

Actually now I do not see a bullish trend in Ethereum, we are still under the pressure of bears , I think if we go above 200-250$ then we can call a bullish trend

I think that everyone understands that ethereum is a very promising cryptocurrency and you can make good money on it, so you invested it in your money

The update has not yet occurred. Now the price rose only because of the fact that we are close to the minimum limit of support and bounced away. Bitcoin has grown up and subsequently grown Ethereum.

ETH has lost a lot in it`s value this year over the market average.
It lost a lot from it`s market share comparing to BTC or XRP.
With the developments upgrades coming in January it is time to recover some of that loss.

I don't think that for that reason Eth's price is currently on the rise, because I just thought at that time BTC prices were on a bullish market so popular altcoins like Ethereum would always follow BTC prices and there might be some members who gave other reasons I heard that there is a problem about Bithereum, does that also cause the Ethereum market to experience a bull market?

yepp, a fork and i believe others good news will come to ethereum in the near time
so, this will create more demands on ethereum my friend
of course when the demands increase the price of ethereum will rise  ;)

most likely this impetus for growth served ethereum 2.0 which promise to launch in January

i think because of the new stability of market cap and bitcoin are also bounce back their price
ethereum follow for their superior king to recover the price after been so long time price in the drops maybe in january hoping ethereum stay strong

Well maybe manipulators just want to pump this coin again and take profit when more investors coming in. I see no major reason for ETH to pump like that so better to be careful because it can be a bull trap. ETH is a good coin of course, but this pump should be backed up by a good news, but since its none so the risk to invest is very high.

I think ethereum will remain strong in my eyes, because ethereum coin which has the potential to replace the bitcoin position in the future and surely the price of ethereum will continue to rise in January and so on

Ethereum has magical power to do bull run, the news about the existence of hardfork ethereum in the form of constatinopel has been heard in all communities so many want to buy to experience the new history of ethereum, I think ethereum is the best investment in the future

I don't think there is connected on that. But I see the price is very different from the highest price because I think bitcoin price increase so that why the price of the ethereum increase the value but not of what you said.

I think that the reason is very low price of ETH. Ethereum lost more than BTC and many others top currencyes and it looks delicious for investors and all crypto community. I always sayed that buying ETH always good decision.

As promised a few months ago Vitaly Buterin - in early 2019, they will announce a large number of improvements and a new protocol for ethereum, so I think that the recent price increase is associated with expectations about these announcements.

Everyone expects this, but you understand that the market simply will not let everyone earn. The market will do what the whales need, because they manipulate the course and not just the course. Whales are everywhere today, even in the highest echelons of power.

I think the recent significant increase in the price of Ethereum was caused by the fact that the market trend has changed, and the ETH is still the second most important cryptocurrency after Bitcoin and it is not surprising that it also began growth right after Bitcoin.

We can expect and hope for anything, but growth will begin when it is necessary for them-whales and whatever we do, we will not be able to influence it!

I think its just 1 day game. We have to wait for ETH2.0 and its success news. Then ETF. Then only we will see good run in ETH.

I think maybe ethereum will only reach $ 700- $ 800 when there is a bull run, hardfork ethereum only focuses on network upgrades and there will be no new altcoin from hardfork.

this last pump (suppose the same to others) was just MANIPULATION OF THE MARKET.

A friend of mine participates on a group of Whatsapp. They talked and scheduled a day to all buy the coins and pump the prices. He has gotten 70% profit in just two fucking days. Now the market is already bleeding.

There was no good news to expect that pump. So, it was pure manipulation.

This manipulation will come more often, since this guys have big power to pump the coins.

Price bump will pass on one day but now we cannot say it surely that coming day will give expected growth in the market. If you have funds in your wallets please hold that for some months to see price bump.

I really do not find any symptoms for growth, SEC acceptance or big adoption. These all will be settled in some months.

The reason is that few people invest when the market falls. They are waiting for growth to start in order to buy and continue to earn. From time to time, whales make the illusion of growth in order to force people to buy coins at an increased price.

Do you think ETH has bull run now ? I think it is just a small correction from the bottom price of ETH.
And the other altcoins price are increasing as well, so ETH price only follow the market movements.
This is not a bull run until we see the price is rapidly increasing in a short time.

Yes, most times altcoins are just following bitcoin's movement which is due to traders manipulation and it doe not need to be a reason based. We cannot look for reasons for price movements of any crypto as rising and falling of an asset may happen when a whale is deciding to do whatever they want. Now a days, one particular altcoin does not need to have any specific reason for its movement but when any one coin will be having a reason and making its own movement, all other coins are just following it.

Yes right now, ETH is trading around 0.032 BTC after losing 2.7% from its yesterday's high. It means it is no more into bull run. It was into bull when bitcoin was. Hence. I believe ethereum is not having any its won reason for having bull but just following bitcoin's directions.

Ethereum is in the process of correction and has increased and it's only for a moment, and now it's back down and we'll see it approaching the year and in January there will be a hardfork. Hoping for a positive surprise ahead of the turn of the year.

The hard phase of crypto market make it negetive for mass. Although through ethereum many new teken have raise funds. Its blockchain technology also provide port effective solution to many problem but it is also down along with crypto market.  Once the market recover it also give good return

Well, I think this happens because of it Christmas Eve? Still happy even if the green is only in a few days, I have cashout few bucks for our Christmas celebration with my family and friends.

hardfork ethereum will indeed give good results on the ethereum for some time in the future. at least because of the hardfork will be able to help investors to be interested due to the increase and no doubt this will be a great profit will be obtained. bull run will either on all the coins or simply just ethereum indeed uncertain, however clear this will be a great impact for the crypto after so long.

Oh really ? Good for you that you have some eth left on your purse while in my case i dont have eth and btc left because i already spend it all last month. Anyway , the increase on eth price is not cosidered as an official bull run because a real bull run  do only happen when a certain crypto reaches a new ath and it can last for a longer period of time  .

what actually happned last time is only a normal fluctuations caused by volatility  

There are few reasons for ethereum last bullish movement. First of all many people is saying that ethereum and bitcoin will hardfork together. I am not sure about this news. But if it came it will be very hyped. Second reasons is ethereum will hardfork itself in mid January or maybe in early February. I think its gonna be happen. And that's a very good news for holders so people start buying to get a new coin. And the most trusted news is that ethereum is gonna update to ethereum 2.0. Which is very essential for ethereum in this market. Devs confirmed that news. So there is many news behind the rise of ethereum.

Its good that some people are able to take profit from the recent pump of ETH. Its hard to say the exact reason but the recent pump its a great situation to celebrate not just for ETH hodlers but of course also for those who hold bitcoin. Expect that ETH will still go higher especially if saw the great development next year with ETH. Continue to invest with ETH, because soon the price of this coin will go back to $500-$1000, so hurry and do grab this opportunity now.

  Constantinople Upgrade is bullish for Ethereum (ETH) says prominent crypto trading analyst Alex Kruger. This upgrade would reduce block rewards from 3 to 2 ETH, thus decreasing ETH supply creation. But this is just a short time pump i guess and won't lasts because the market is still in bearish.

source:https://www.google.com.ph/amp/s/bitcoinexchangeguide.com/constantinople-upgrade-is-bullish-for-ethereum-eth-says-prominent-crypto-trading-analyst/amp/

Eth did a bull run to be able to give fresh air to his community even if only for a moment, but it would return to red and later be able to rise. Market volume is always changing and this is reasonable, indeed the market is always running and continues to have developments that can still be accepted by common sense. At the end of the year maybe this happens again and we are ready to welcome it.

Bearish market is still here. I think ether price bounce is just a happenstance, there is nothing to it. However, in the days leading to ethereum fork, we should see serious price actions and consistent price rise. Good days are ahead for ethereum holder!

It is still here for real and we don't know on how long it would stay in the market. Right now, the hope that can make the market better are those investors and institutions that will accumulate eth and bitcoin.

For Ethereum the hard fork is said to be the one that can create a bull or maybe a small pump before it occurs. Used to be bullish for Ethereum and just waiting for its time to rise again before cashing out.

I could not agree with you. Because, I think there is a rise in the fall. I saw today at the first ETH 115$ but after a few time I saw ETH 116$ . So I see the possibility of increasing ETH.

This is what I certainly agree. Since the market is so volatile and many corrections are being made and I think that the Ethereum was just one of the major coins that obviously experienced that correction. But still, this is good news for us because it only proves that anything can happen as fast as like that if the major players will move according to what pleases them and will be an advantage to every investors, traders and hodlers.

who knows only the ethereum party. try asking your telegram or sending a message directly to the site. maybe there you can find the appropriate answer. if you ask here the answer must be lay and not satisfied because the answer must be different.

There is the hardfork upgrade coming for Ethereum soon but I think this was just generally a PRE XMAS PUMP so some whales can take out a few more profits and now Asians are probably dumping again because they are collecting their last profits for the Chinese LUNAR New Year. It's all planned by the Whales in the end. They just use News as an excuse to constantly leech the markets and take out whatever profit they can on a regular basis, leaving always the hardcore hodlers and believers to hodl the bags until oblivion. I think they even invented the word HODL and brainwashed so many of us to hold so they could constantly have some meat in the game to be able to short whenever they need to take out to buy their Lambos for their Girlfriends.

No. The update has not yet launched, so it's probably just a small influx of investors!

Bull run? You mean a bit of a price spike? I was honestly pleased to see it got better priced last week, it has gone down so much it needs get up too. Constantinopole could have helped but i am not so sure if that was the reason. Perhaps traders like me bought some using our additional earnings, 13th month pay ect ect but honestly what happened to ETH price is not the "bull run" i know.

Ethereum had some little raise but i think we can't call it bull run.. The small raise stopped yesterday and nothing really hasn't changed. As far as i see the ethereum dropped to $85 from $1.375 in just one year. When i check the price today is $117. So there were no bull run and i don't have strong feelings that it will come soon..

You'll just get a tons of "hardfork" answer.

But the real thing that made the market into a small pump last week was due to the dominance of bitcoin has decreased. And all of the attributes that made Ethereum pump was due to bitcoin.

I don’t see any reason behind the ETH sudden increase in price. Maybe it’s just a normal fluctuating up and down, it might still drop again, cause it has moved from $120 to $118. The general bull run is yet to come and when it does you will see a lot of coins will rise up, and that includes Bitcoin. I also don’t think it has anything to do with Constantinople, cause that too, it’s still a long time from now.

The price wouldn’t just go up immediately after the Constantinople hard fork which will be on January. Once it’s forked the price will drop a bit before taking a turn to go up (I’m not sure though, but we all hope it does). I just feel like next year will be a huge one for cryptocurrency, cause if the bull run. Experts are predicting next year as the time for the bull run and I’m hoping that accurate this time around, although I never believed when they said it will be this year.

That's right, well, that many are starting to realize this, the most important thing is that these guys are not bored with cryptocurrency at all and they would not withdraw their money from cryptocurrency, because in this case the market will simply fall.

we can see the ethereum as the leader of the cryptocurrency market, when Bitcoin will no longer fully influence everything. This will happen not only when there is a distribution of investments and an increase in the capitalization of the ethereum, but also when users can fully verify the promise of ethereum, and not Bitcoin.

bull run? which bull run? do you even know what is bull run :D

I'm sorry, i don't want to be rude, but we can't talk about a bull run if i don't see at least a X2-X3 :D

Now ended ethereum  bull run. We can see again all coins downing like last months. In my case of next year will be good year for cryptocurrencies. In 2020 all major coins will be up.

There is the HARDFORK coming in January for the better Ethereum or what we called ETH 2.0
After that i dont think any more reason, it is just the bear season has ended and people now are more on the Ethereum bagging.
Which is normal every upcoming BULL RUN.

I think the eth bull run involves investors who sell their ETH, also ETH tokens increase supply, I think this is a problem at ETH. However, ETH prices will rise again after January 2019.

This is just preparing for a bull rally, I am sure of that. Investors probed the market. IMHO, we will soon see (most likely in the spring) the real pump of the market, the second coming of the holy bitcoin!

For now at the end of 2018, which is only a few days away, I don't think that ethereum has experienced a bull run. In fact this looks normal, the price increase is not so significant. We look forward to further news early next year. Actually I really waited for the price to jump high to the moon! Thanks.

I think the little price increment in ETH and other crypto coins was just a flash. The market is going down again. ETH has even lost a significant amount of the dollars gained few days ago.

There are many reasons for this. Well, modarnizatsiya also affect, I do not think that it can significantly affect. + 10% + 15% to the final value of the coin.

The update hasn't happened yet, so it's silly to think so. The reason Ethereum has now grown is that the cryptocurrency market has been correcting, as it has been falling for too long lately.

The main reason of ethereum bull run was ICO pump. People invested in ICOs and they need to buy ethereum to make an investment in ICO.
That's it. Now ICOs have smaller collections, so eth is dead

Just a bull trap since people more much concentrate on the bitcoin prices so whales might interested to make trap on the ethereum and bitcoincash now they dumoed again after the holidays.That is why we need to wait for the bull long run to invest.

We saw a good bull run on ethereum after a long time. There is mainly 3 reasons to see this run. First one is ethereum 2.0 update. Ethereum devolopers announced they will upgrade ethereum and solve txn and scalability issues. And they will launch ethereum 2.0.
Second reason is ethereum hardfork in mid Jan there will be a hard fork of ethereum. And the third one (I am not sure about it) is Bitcoin and Ethereum will fork together. And there are a  market grow  which help to in the ethereum bull run.

Eth price crashed a lot during the bear market and it lost a lot from it`s market share. Now, it seems that they will resolve their issues with scaling and the market reacted positively on the upcoming upgrades in January 2019.

Ethereum will do hardfork, I think that will be the main reason for Ethereum's development, its price will increase and many people are waiting to buy it. But perhaps the price of Ethereum will not increase too high because currently the market is still in a downtrend, it may be a small recovery.

Well, if you are going to dissect each and every piece of information, the main reason is because of the people that buy it for reasons, all of the coins in the market has the potential to be bullish, all they need to do is to create something good that can attract the market.

Do you think that day will come that bitcoin can no longer fully influence everything?

I can't see that day would come, I can see  that most alts will be evicted to the market and can no longer pursue themselves. But that thing you said about bitcoin about no longer will fully influence the market, I see the end of the market if that happens.

Ethereum is still growing slowly with  sometimes also a drop happen, i think there is still no reason for the bull run to happen right now. perhaps after the hardfork there will be good news for ethereum market. For now it will still moving closely with todays market.

I think not only because of that but investors have seen eth prices already quite low compared to their real value. Price correction is enough time to get up

I am thinking that there will be one more ETH pump before the fork. Probably good time to buy the dip for some short-term gain.

Here is my theory. When BTC went from 6.4 to 3.6K, XLM/XRP held really well while ETH was falling like crazy. From that point on, XLM/XRP have been kind of performing poorly (especially XLM) where as ETH is surging at the moment. I think there might be some big money that is being switched back and forth and as such, I suspect that when ETH stops pumping right before the fork, this big money will go back to XLM/XRP to start another surge.

Ethereum is the leading altcoin, it pavedt he way for others to follow and I am not surprised by the gradual bullrun, I have been expecting it for a while now, but to be honest, this upcoming fork plays a great role as well.

I think this upgrade of hard fork will definitely promote the rise of ETH's currency price, let us wait and see.

It seems that eth has other steps to get bulls, taking ethic trust again is a challenge that must be done and needs improvement that long reaches the goal.

Perhaps there is another reason for a bull run than because of the hardfork cause it doesn't happen everyday, if the bull run only happen because of hardfork, then it could be bad if there is no hardfork for many years.

Yes, the price increase is happening because of the upcoming hardfork and the blockchain update. But I think there is a third reason that Ethereum was too oversold, because the price reached 80 USD per coin before the end of the year.

I think that after the ETH hardfork their prices will grow and let's just wait because I personally hope that by 2019 the price of ETH can be high and give me the profit.

Eth have started bull run because there are 2 hardfork will be happen in this January. One is 11 January that called classic vision fork for 1:3. And other will happen on upcoming 16 January may be. So its the reason I think.thanks

The sudden rise in the price of ethereum can be trace to the much talk about hard fork many are full of expectation for the hard fork,I just hope things go as expected.

The reason is just preparation for the hard fork. Today, this is a big problem, which all the same will actually be carried out at the expense of course with you and me. You noticed that no fork happened. Perhaps you also understand why.

I think yes.  Everyone was preparing to launch an update on Ethereum which was once again postponed indefinitely!

And for more clarifications the hardfork was the main reason on why the price of ETH would likely to go up, the dates had already passed and I think the price of ETH went up but not enough, XRP went up even further and I think ETH would likely to gather more bulls if they want to regain that 2nd spot again.

I almost think after hardfork of ethereum it will grow up the price but until now I don't see any price that rise up and now we are stuck on the price we are facing now.

Maybe not because of that reason. Why ethereum increase the value. Remember the increasing and decreasing of the coin is because of the investor of the coin. But I dob't care about the reason or anything my priority today is to increasd ethereum and everyone can help to se that goal. Let's spread good news about ethereun for the price to increase more.

yes I think ETH is going up because Hardfork ETH Constantinople, yesterday the HF was postponed but now there is another announcement that HF will be held on February 27, I think it will make ETH prices rise again

I think Constantinople is very influential in increasing ethereum. I am sure this will provide positive energy for ethereum. I always support the development of ethereum. ethereum will definitely be much more developed in the future.

Most investors now agree that Ethereum now has excellent prerequisites for the bull run. You just need patience. The state of Ethereum directly depends on the market dynamics. There is every chance to assert that from next year the situation will improve.

I think that no one here will deny anything if I say that the main reason is of course the upcoming fork. Therefore, as usual, people just try to develop their coin very actively. Therefore, I am sure that most people simply do not understand what exactly they are investing.

The main reason of the ethereum bull run on 2017 is because of the rise of many ICOs that have raised a lot of money under ethereum platform. And a little bit of bull run nowadays is because of the constantinople hard fork upgrade, many investors are still accumulating.

but I think Hardfork ethereum will not be too influential on ethereum prices, indeed at first the news about Hardfork made ethereum
slightly increase, but now ethereum prices are back low, it seems that now the presence of hardfork cannot always increase prices

I am sure that Ethereum will continue to remain a strong, stable project that will be consistently developed. Of course, Ethereum is directly dependent on BTC and the entire market condition. But in any case, it will again become more expensive in the future, so there is every chance for a bull run.

Seems that this expected updates / fork bring hopes to the ETH supporters that why before that happen the price rally up and gives those who
bought from the dip a 90-95% earnings, now that the fork was expected to happen again, we will see if any positive movement will happen
though we also needs to consider the bear market reason why investors are not buying the news.

Until today, it seems like Ethereum isn't showing a significant increase on it's value.
We just saw the increase before the hardfork happen, and right now the price is seems a little stable at around $100+ and it seems it hasn't shown any sign to increase so much.

There is many reasons behind ethereum bull run and of it was ethereum hard fork. At that time people know that 3 ethereum hardfork gonna happen one of them Constantinople the main one. And two other which are nothing but scam ethereumclassic something and ethereum nova. In November and eectv people were getting coins but in Constantinople it's just the chance in the chain. And there is also reason which is ethereum 2.0 announced where Dev's promised to work with some issues like scalability or txn

Ethereum is not on the bull run and it is problematic from $105 - $120. I thought that it will be the turnover and recovery day for ETH. The Constantinople upgrade was delayed for awhile and will be back again soon. Anyone who have sold and caught on panic? Don't do that again or you might miss the bull run.

for now there are no signs of bullrun in ethereum, ethereum prices have difficulty getting up, delay of constatinople
upgrades make many people panic again to sell, this is what causes ethereum prices to remain red on the market

Soon, the block reward will decrease on Ethereum and less coins will be mined every day. I think this may affect the price. It will greatly affect the mining.

I do not see any bull run at present and in the nearest days. Ethereum has been decreasing for the past few months. It has gone down in price to the level when ripple has beaten it by market cap. The coin saw some increment some days ago due to reports of Constantinople upgrade. But since the upgrade postponed, it started decreasing. But ethereum is a good coin and will increase in the days to come.

and I believe Ethereum will take over the second position again, even though he has fallen but he is able to bounce back. the market has fallen for a long time making many people panic and almost desperate, and for those who are able to survive he is a great person because he is able to live this condition well. Ethereum will increase but for Bullrun I don't know because in my opinion it's difficult.

Yeah it was. During the last December the price of Ether has doubled because everybody have expected the blockchain update. But suddenly the team has reported a huge bug and postponed the update. Ether will raise till the end of February if devs would keep their promises.

Well, until the Ethereum like Bitcoin I think stable coin, as to yesterday's growth, they have almost no volatility. The reasons for which Ethereum can shoot, they basically do not exist now, since everyone already thinks that the update will be postponed again and therefore no one will buy Ethereum.

Because ETH 2.0 sounds absolutely great, there's actual Dapps that are being used, and sharding and PoS are a massive upgrade over bitcoin.

Well Ethereum has no bullish trend )
it was just a rebound, and no more, you can call a bullish trend when the Ethereum rises above 200 and there will be fixed, but for now we are likely to continue to fall

Well, then there was an approach to the update of Ethereum , and now actually it is not visible that the bull market was, I think it is better to be out of the market, since we are more likely to fall

After the launch of the hard fork was postponed, there was a significant decline, and now the price is rising again, most likely everyone is preparing again!

The closer will approach February 27 (block 7 800 000) the more rumors and speculation around Ethereum will appear.

The devs have announced that the fork will finally see the light at the end of February and I hope they will keep their promise, because otherwise we would see a huge market dump again, because a lot of people are waiting for this hardfork.

Yes, I think for a few weeks the coin Eth will grow. Ethereum has already returned its 2nd place in the top projects.

The recent bullrun was caused by the news of the Constantinople hardfork but this present mini bullrun is caused by news of an ETF I think,let's hope for better days ahead.

The was a price fluctuation and not a bull run. Tue ethereum fork after it must have had happened might spore a bull run but it could go the other way negatively

The ethereum was not bull running, it was only going up due the upcoming fork.
But now, the fork has been delayed and the ethereum price come back to normal price.
The market still unstable at the current because the ETH now is on the #2 rank in the market, surpassed the XRP position.
