There’s a great pump with ETH this week, but I think its not a strong pump that it will go dump again after having a short pump so don’t be too excited. The price of $200 will hit again by ETH but it will go through dumps also before that. So what’s your thoughts about the recent pump?

Agreed. Not cashing in on my LONG though, liquidation is at $80 for me and I don't believe we're ever reaching it again. Might as well just keep my longs alive until $250. Good days ahead for Ethereum.

Rather than create another bullshit thread and why don't you try to analyze the fundamental behind this pump? Block decrease has become the main news that supports this pump. It will be above $200 soon. But you must analyze hos strong the fundamental behind this pump.

It is not just ETH that is up big but bitcoin and most other coins are too so it cannot be called a pump. How high ETH and the market goes before another correction happens is anybody's guess. In any case, Crypto markets are very volatile and this fact is not going to change any time soon.

Many coins are moving up, so not only Eth, this makes the market's optimistic attitude begin to improve.
Many investors start trading and get benefits that may be small or unexpected.

I hope it's not a trap, ETH has been dump many times and it was 10x of its ATH value.
This is the time where wen can see a good price recovery, a good increase in just a day is good enough to call that the bull run has started.
Everyone would be optimistic on the future but not all of us agrees that bull run starts, it's just my own opinion on what I see, which I hope it's correct.

The pump that occurred at this time happened because there will be a hardfork ETH at the end of February, I think that makes the ETH price rise quite high, and I think this increase will continue if the HF ETH runs smoothly

Why not? Perhaps these are just other coins following one of the main coins. As soon as the fork comes, the pump will stop (most likely, earlier), as there will be no reason for such a rush.
The fact that the market will remain volatile for a long time has a positive side: long changes in prices are possible for a long time. 200+ coming soon ;)?

Becarefull went you say thats a trap. To be honest people to much waiting for the real bottom and they missed the opportunity for invest at that dip phase. 90% Trader always like FOMO.

They can always say based on their opinion, some would call it a bull run, some would say it's a bull trap.


We hit the bottom and this is what we are waiting (bullish people) because this is the chance that we can finally sell at a profit.
Bullish people will react automatically when there is a little run, they think it's a start of the run and I guess I'm bullish also so I'm expecting this will result to significant price gains.

Ethereum is predicted to make a big change in the prevailing market, but the growth isn't that big. With the previous price pumping too ethereum reached $150 and fell back reaching as low as $80. With this into consideration it is predicted for a price fall soon after reaching $150. I don't think there is such a drop anymore, the market will progress with time, and with the hope myself keeping hold of ethereum without taking it into trading.

I preferred to enjoy seeing the value keeps on pumping and think about the rest after, crypto industry as we know it always have rise and fall
if you know how to value opportunities you will think about taking chances while the ride still ongoing, be ready with reversal, anticipate even
things not happening yet.

It is needed for confidence in the light of the latest news to attract more investors and increase demand.

First of all i dont see eth pumping . when i check the price i still see an old eth price that stucks at 100'ish dollar level . second of all , if eth will pump this week then thats good because i can now sell and most guys can now sell their eth at best price .  

so what if this is a trap ?  Do the manipulators think that they were only the one that can earn if they pump the market ? They were wrong because many hodlers were also waiting  .

maybe this is a temporary pump, I don't think that for a consistent pump it can't be used as one of the best stages for now. we can wait eth to pump perfectly in some future time.

there is no trap, is a real new fresh capital coming in
the fork/upgrade on ETH by the end of Feb will reduce the mining reward from 3 to 2 ETH per block, so, the ecosystem will remain alive, the mining support will continue only if the value of ETH will rise, this is one of the main reason why you are seeing this spike in ETH price, the second one is that ETH is still the second ranked asset on conimarketcap and investors are putting their money in BTC, than in ETH ad so on, cause we are seeng a little bull run comming on

There are encouraging signs that the bear might be coming to an end, but it is way to early to say yet. ETH price does depend to a large extent on what the rest of the market is doing. This recovery is welcome, but is still quite small so far.

IMHO this is one of the last traps before we again will see 300-400 for eth.

Really Vit83? Is ethereum going back within that price range? I miss ethereum at $1,000 USD each. Maybe right after the ethereum upgrade the price will get a slight boost. So I guess now is the best time to buy ETH and that it's not a trap but a sign.

I only know that this is a good time to sell some of my ethereum and takes my money back while I am sure after this pump, the price will go down again. And if the price goes down, I will make a buy more ethereum because I am sure ethereum can go up to the higher price. This moment will continue for the next few hours, and I wish it will continue to break the higher price this week.

I understand why he is sceptical and its mostly due to the way the Bitmex alt futures usually trade around news and forks.

The last time ETH was delayed it caused a big decline and even if the fork was a success it still might of dropped.

Same thing that happened with BCH fork shortly after.

Then there are other coins out there which are also getting pumped easily and in the end, the result is usually the same, a huge crash.

We need to keep waiting and see if the price of ETH stays high AFTER the fork, but if it starts to crash right before it or during then its basically a trap like we assumed.

Fork is coming so hype is on and people are buying the rumors and selling the news. We can't be sure if this is a trap or not but just put yourself on the safe side and you are very much prepare with whatever it comes with.

I'm also optimistic and hoping that these are the last days that we will see of the bearish trend. Already a year has passed and the market starts to look shiny again, people will come back again and ETH isn't the very coin to pump.

i guess is still manipulation by whale, but if not,im glad to see this. but im wondering what news make all coin rise.
because im searching and not got anything accurate, is this about sec approved ETF? well i dont think so, even without SEC approval crypto still have their own market.
Because Crypto become a place investment, and also has become a payment method.

It seems to me that we're getting a small pump before staying at $200 for a long period of time, that is, until the fork happens. Something tells me that this is not another pump&dump, though anything could happen in this extremely volatile cryptomarket.

Im excited for the ethereum to increase the value. Trap is always happen and It's normal for me sometimes the price increasw and suddenly it will decrease again. We cannot know when trap happen it's your think what you think if it's trap or not.

Everyone want to see the value of the ethereum to continue because that is the only way to us again to make or gain more profit.

I would say yes but not totally sure if this is a trap but i am more convince since this year tells me that this is a total bearish market, so it might be a trap. ;D

Anyway, it depends on what your guts tell you but for me, that is what exactly it tells me. For those who wishes to sell during this small pump, go on it's your chance or maybe you might consider hodling a little bit for at least more years if you do believe that Bitcoin and other altcoins would rise next year.

i think ethereum pump is not a trap.. its a bull for ethereum.. as we know ethereum has a great potential..why judging about the small pump its the opportunity to get some profit  ;D

Still pumping so it appears to be a real run rather than a bull trap. The hardfork is definitely going ahead this time around so people are starting to stock up before the block rewards fall and the price starts to rise

This strong price move is directly related to the HardFork that will happen next week, but in practice, it could be the reverse, since many are against this ETH upgrade. If the market is doing so, there may be an indirect factor, such as ETF! I think that's the motivating energy of this massive purchase. If the ETF is not mentioned or postponed or even denied again, it'll be as you yourself said! Anyway, exciting days are coming.

Let’s see this one after the hardfork, usually the price are high before the hardfork. If ETH able to stay on this, I expect to see an easy $200 and it can now go back to $300. I’m joining the hype right now, and I want to hold more ETH since I know the price will start to grow. If you have good analyzation with ETH, maximize it now.

We can't prevent big whales to manipulate the current price updates. All we can do here is to support the recent changes, and strive harder to hold our very important asset which is our holdings. If those mentioned development like sec approval, I am looking forward that this will be successful in order all our aims and goals will be reached for future financial success.

It is the bull run before the fork of ETH. We will surely see a dump just before the fork as usual.

Well even though some of are not believe ethereum will continue to rise maybe we need to observe as of now so we can see if ethereum will continue to pump or not. But still its great that ethereum is have pump this day and hopefully it will continue.

If the spike is only cause by ETH hard fork then surely that would happen.
However, I think it's not the case now, although ETH started the run but BTC did rise with a good percentage and even
good altcoins like EOS, I don't heard any hype about this coin as the most popular now is Ether's upgrade of network.

I agree with you. Since from February 17 till this day the volume climbs up to 1 million. Hope that it will keep up even until this week ends coz if not then theres a big possibility of huge price drop correction again.

Now we see a correction. This may take a couple of days. If another wave of rise come in front of the fork, ethereum will be able to rewrite the local high of 160. This will be great, as this will be a sign of an uptrend.

We need not to think but to act, we have repeatedly met such dumps, and in these moments we just need to have time to play daily trading and prepare for the update.

I don't thinks that this is a trap. Price will grow more if they not postpone hardfork again. And not just ETH growing. BTC and other altcoins too. And we can see only positive market news nowdays. This is a good sign for market recovery and next bullrun. In march we expecting a lot of big things (Fidelity and rakuten launcch).

If me when you think you can take profit, i think take profit is good. But not sell all your coins because no one can actual predict when market will go. If price down we can buy again and when price up, we can sell rest of our coins.

I'm glad with this uptrend which creates some good news around cryptocurrency that pushes many coins to rise even at small percent. This is a good sign that the market can bounce back after it fall. Yeah it might go dumps anytime but nobody knows when this gonna happen. It's still unpredictable and i'm hoping that this will continuously grow until we can reach $300 for ETH.

I don't think it's a trap and it's not strong pump, this slowly increase of all altcoin. If ETH will hit $200, i think ETH will not dump again.

These depends on developments. If the market continues to increase at the same time, Ethereum's price may even increase. But, otherwise, your scenario will likely continue. Also, take care that Eth is not worthy of its present price.

Yeah it's a great pump, nobody believe that eth is going to go up soon, as long as Bitcoin still struggling, all coin will have the same fate, eth still got a good potential to rise in the future, for now the market is not too good , so keep on holding and be patience will be the correct action

That's also my opinion could be a trap everybody wants a free coin this is another portfolio added, but we have to also realize that there's no big news that can break the bear market there could be a big shift after this so I'll just watch to see how things will go.

We should be positive and support it. Many fake news are responsible for dumping the price and market conditions. If we support and prove that we are a very strong crypto lover, then price will be continuously growing. I think eth will run for a better condition.

I don't think this is another trap. Not only ETH this is very short pumping whole of the market but everyone looking for BTC price even yesterday night it's near more than 4000$ but again market will green already happen. I have more attention to bull run when BTC price will be go 10000$ but no big hope in this year.       

I think many of us that has been hear for long-term understand this cycle of the price movement and we all know that ethereum or any other cryptocurrencies cannot continuously going up or down.  Therefore,  dumping should not be the reason for us to avoid investing.

I think this is not like a trap because at the moment the price of all cryptocurrency including bitcoin is starting to make price movements upwards so that it has an influence on other coin prices which finally affects the price of ethereum.

We will know more after Ethereum successfully switch to Constantinople update. If there will be another delay, then it will be a trap and price will fall down back to 100USD.

I think that's normal growth. ETH and XRP often compete with each other in the top 2, so I think this is just a competition and the community of ETH is a great community.
they made the price of ETH increase by high purchasing power. and this is only a sign of recovery and stability. It does not rise too high and we should still observe more before deciding a big investment.

Moving from $85 to $143 is very high that's about 60% increase in just few days, I will agree with you that it won't hit $200 before we see a dump in the price. Though I believe that ETH should get to as high as $600 before the year runs out but that won't just happen overnight, it will gradual process with lots of pump and dump. Don't forget to hodl.

In any case, if the cryptocurrency market in its nature starts to develop and increase the price for all cryptocurrencies, then all speculators, including big whales, will definitely want to take advantage of this. They will again manipulate the market for their own benefit, which again will have a bad effect on the cryptocurrency market and there will be big differences in pricing.

Looks like its not going to drop though. But there isn't just a sure way of telling if this is a bullrun.  I'm however done with ETH, I'm more of EOS this time. ETH is just not going to work when its going to be be forked every now and then. The solution would be to move to EOS, its not going to be be forked which is pretty fair.

I would be very careful as the hardwork is on the 27th February. We will see what is really going to happen on next week. I suppose that coins are going to be high on this week. Maybe Ethereum foundation needs some money and is going to dump some? It is always the same tactic. Look at what happened with Tron and BTT. They didn't fall a lot because of the hype of Bitcoin. But TRON is falling compare to Bitcoin.

If you guys read up on what ETH 2.0 will be capable of, you'd know that there are a ton of reasons to be extremely optimistic about it. I don't think this is a trap, although a correction downwards wouldn't surprise me either.

Yes, maybe this is not a pump because the price of the coin also after rising also fell again. But what happened this week is certainly very good and has an impact on all Altcoin. Now I am convinced that such conditions will attract investors to invest.

there's nothing wrong with us eager to see ethereum prices getting pumps again because this is the moment we've been waiting for. if later I dump again I think that is a very natural thing to happen, not only in ethereum but other coins after being pumped will definitely dump again for a price correction.

I think this is the market growth that has started and the positive trend of the bullish market has come, so later if the ethereum back dump will definitely be able to rise immediately following market trends.

Yes its not a trap since many believes that the hardfork will become a big success this time. Its good if we are able to hit the price of $200, and hopefully we sustain that level and start to pump higher again. My trust is on ETH,  it will become more big coin in the future.

Possibly but it will only happen if BTC will pull back again just like what happened sometime last week I believe that was October but why not make the most of it? I mean take advantage of this pump for ETH, if you are hodling some better to get cheap coins for quick trade and earn some. Simple as that

What do you mean mentioning advantages of short term trading? What if op get caught in wrong side after hedging the trading position?

 For me probably it's not a trap pal because the potential of Eth to increase now is higher than bitcoin , In fact as of now  ETH change to "2.31%"   and bitcoin is "0.63% which is a good sign of bullish ,wherein it will fluctuate only and wil stop to increase unless there's some factors exist again on this new progress of ETH.

I think it will not continue to pump as you nentioned because this is just a price increase for short period of time and will definitely dump eventually. Don't set our hope high for just a little pump so we won't lose our money.

It's nice to see that the price of ethereum is increasing and all cryptos as well, but it can go down anytime so get ready for that it could be trap.

I believe everyone is ready, with the increase that we are seeing now, they would not sell because most of them bought their coins at a higher price.
Actually, personally I'm just happy seeing the price increase but I would only be satisfied if it will hit my target, eth is still at $100+, that's 10-15% amount compared to the ATH.

Most coins are going up so it is not an ETH pump. Market can keep going up from here or enter another few days of minor pullback or rest. Either way, it is not an issue so long as there is not a big selloff.

This is a good sign actually that market has started to rise and thus ETH which has being dumped badly in this fall has now being rising. So their is no trap only thing it is rising to its actual value and might cross 200$, 300$ soon if the bull run continues for some time.

This year will go through such a moment. Sometimes up and sometimes down. This is good for the market, coins are recovering prices slowly which means next bearish market will not be able to be down to the current price.

Probably not a trap mate because it's been a while now since ETH struggling which is perhaps this is the right time for it to stabilize again along with bitcoin . And as we see in the market ETH percent is greater than bitcoin which is a strong evidence that it's not a trap or something IMO.

Nah, I don't think it is another trap, I think the small price gain last week is truly the start of bull-run in the whole Crypto, not just ethereum. However, we are now still facing a correction, and this correction does not always indicate a trap. I think after a long time of negativity toward the cryptomarket, we need to start to be positive. Sometimes the crypto community itself is the one spreading FUD about crypto.

I also think like you. Because our crypto market is having a lot of problems and there are a lot of problems to solve. altcoins are trying to expand their market and spend a lot of capital to do this.
therefore, an ETH increase of $ 200 is a difficult thing, and it certainly takes a long time.

Like you said making the best out of the bullish trend which market showed is the best thing to do but the current trend showed by the ETH market cant be call bull run because the postpone Constantinople Ethereum hard fork was the main reason behind the pump in price of the market and when the hard fork is fully implemented the price will dip.

Taking into account that the Constantinople hard fork is just 5 days away and that we have been waiting for it for a long time I have my doubts that what you are saying is accurate, if we finally get the hard fork and there are not problems at all I really think that ETH will keep growing for the next weeks since people will be very excited about this new development, however if there is another delay then we can expect the price to go down very rapidly.

Not entirely but after hardfork we will see a pump and dump to adjust the movement pattern than I think we will see eth in price range of 150-190 $ ,and if whales comes into play then we will see some bull action on the way.

The pump and dump will continuously happened to ethereum again and again because we don't know which will be there better investment right now so ethereum investors are also in the confused mind that the new people will definitely need to wait for sometime before investment.

as far as I know the ETH pump is currently at because ETH is approaching hardfork, so I think it's fair, because traders want to take advantage of Hardfork ETH

I don't think there will be any major dumps on the way back up to $200. Most investors will know that the supply is going to be reduced after the hardfork so they will not sell them so easily, they might get caught out trying to short it

Well,for me,this is not the same as pump usually, at the moment, eth looks stronger than before, almost 1 week this eth looks stable at a price range of 140, maybe this is a new period of stability, but there is still another week ahead of the upgrade,so,for me its not like a trap.

Whatever it takes with eth, all I want to think was the whole thing should brought up to a certain level of impression which will make price increase despite of the struggling demand. If there's a trap behind, well that part of their strategy and don't ever think of worst than that. We should handle stress despite of the difficult moments behind all closed doors that might sffect our decisions in the future of eth evolution.

Its not a trap since we are still holding on a higher price and if this is a trap, the price should start to drop now but its not. The hardfork will succeed to make ETH great again, and the price will slowly recover for sure as the whales and investors will buy more.

The price will get time to down in a moment, but if this is the time for ethereum to increase, then the down of the price will be an adjustment for the price before it increases higher.
Sometimes, the price can recover with fast, but it depends on how people react in the market. But still, the increase of ethereum right now is not a trap, but the possibility is always there. So still be careful to trade ethereum.

Pumps that occur this week are certainly very good because they will definitely have a positive impact. I personally see this condition very much like to continue trading. And I don't think it's a trap. The market does need a pump even though it is not big because it is to raise investors.

you have to know when the market conditions occur pump like this usually happens because of the influence of good news that makes traders who have a lot of money start buying bitcoin again like today almost all cryptocurrency in the top 10 experience price increases due to the influence of good news.

Each pump of the market gives positive impact. A trap or not, as long as the market moves positively we should be grateful.

Ethereum is always changing and we can't deny the fact that it would have pump and dump in just a short period of time. It is just for us to handle it. We should be aware that every little changes in the market are not stable and we can't conclude the future through it.

As we could see how the entire market behaves at this time, may we could say that we are currently soaring again, though it is that much but at least we see it moving forward. Analyzing ETH trend, definitely isn't the trap but it is just a normal effect when Bitcoin price pump. There is no need to be worry and thinking this as a trap, nobody have controlling the market and put a trap for us.

It seems to me that it is time to come at home time, when the entire cryptocurrency market should start to grow. But as for ethereum, the update of Constantinople, scaling the block chain should greatly affect the popularity of ethereum. Although the platform erc20 and so occupies the maximum space in the market for ico companies.

Ethereum should be able to maintain it's value this year and build on that progressively as the new features become implemented successfully and more use cases are explored and if demand improves from an increase in investment opportunities through crowdsales once again then its value should see a sizable appreciation, but it may be a little while before confidence returns to that sector and this eventuates as regulation is still moving very slowly on a global scale

We should support to make it possible, it has been a great coin but due to some FUD the price dump.
Now, they are going to give some update so people should come back and buy ETH because it's a real project that shows real support.
Long way to go, the price maybe cheap for now but it's not gonna stop their, move development, which means more valuable price to witness.

the price went down because
- it was pumped to go up and it needed to get dumped to come down since you will never ever have a pump without a dump.
- it also was because most of the rise was due to ICOs and they are nearly dead now. in other words in 2017 everyone was buying ETH to invest in ICOs so its price went up, now that nobody does that anymore, it can not go back up.
- and to top it all, ETH has an unlimited supply. i don't think i have to explain how supply and demand works, do i?

I consider it a trap. The folks with money aka whales are misleading the market and investing before the fork just to gain some cash and they will surely dump after the fork. Be safe and never rush in.

Positive impact for day trader, they will get profit as long as he can predict well, but for some investor will make sure in advance to find out the things behind the price increase. The bull trap will always be there, you can see the previous price movement which has increased significantly in a few hours but after that the price has declined again which is called a bull trap. This is what the OP is worried about, so if you have gotten a profit then you can sell some of your ETH and still invest part of it.

Every time is a trap if we don't understand the market and not even taking an account for every change it made.
We are currently moving forward and it is sad that many were still doubts of it and consider this as another set of trap. We just leave those people in doubts, in fact they'll never have the control of our decisions. 

whatever happens on the market if we continue to see it, make sure we can use it. even if it's just a trap if we can take advantage of that moment we can trade and benefit from it.

ETH looked under-priced before, so it was due a rise. We also have to see how the price moves following the Constantinople upgrade. But I do think that ETH is a strong project with a very bright future.

Ethereum may heavily boost its price and totally take an upward turn. We assume as high predictable a mass adoption of this cryptocurrency next months. We expect that Ethereum might continue to rise with strong capitalization and consequently a concrete value per coin increase. It might experience frequent ups and downs in the first and second quarter but in general, it shall still be upwards on average. Well, just my thoughts on this. Better get back to my online poker (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) session. Best of luck!

there are so many traders who have capital that do a lot of crime like that, they manipulate prices in exchange so as to make prices go up and the trend starts up so that surely there will be those who follow the flow, after they feel enough to profit it will knock down the price and immediately a dump occurs.

I think it's not a trap, the market has shown a recovery and in the near term ethereum prices will pass $ 200, and are very optimistic for this year.

The pump market is very good because until now you can see the market is still stable. Bitcoin and Ethereum increased again even though the price increase was not high. But with price increases, it can have an impact on all coins.

The fate of Ethereum lies after the hard fork, I for one expect price correction after the hard fork, it may pump for one or two days but it will correct itself. Some people claim that the recent rally is triggered by Ethereum price rally, so if this is the case what would then happen after the hard fork because all the price movement is in anticipation of the coming hard fork

I do not think there is such a drop any more , the market will progress with time . So ETHEREUM is predicted to make a big change in the prevailing market .

Everyone have it's choice and we can't drag them to be a part of crypto space, if they'll never want then we can't do anything with them.  
Our market making a move and not just ONLY ETH but the entire entire market and definitely they are wrong that this is another trap made by investors.

hard-fork will clearly accelerate the price growth in the first days, and if there are no problems with it, then at a longer distance the price will continue to grow, but still need to prepare for problems, and therefore to rollback the price

We are having a good day now, ETH's looking great after a long wait and it was good to reached out $150 lines. There's more for ETH and the rest of the good coins in the market of course mainly lead by bitcoin. More of this and I'm starting to doubt that this is a trap.

Whales cannot do that, that is a mistake and people should stop spreading such information, whales can move the price that is true but they cannot start trends, if they tried to do that and no one followed them then the only thing they would have achieved is to buy coins high and sell them for a low price and no investor wants that, what they can do is to amplify existing trends, that way if it seems that the market is already trending then they could make the trend stronger.

All that happening with ethereum needs to be taken with a positive mind. With ethereum several predictions have come in the past, but it outlawed everything reaching around $1500. This time as we've already reached a peak value it makes people think more about it. Possibly the ongoing trend will overcome and reach the peak at the earliest.

In any case, today, each user of cryptocurrency expects the ethereum update results, as well as block chain scaling. Of course, these changes should also have a positive effect on the attractiveness of investment finance. Nevertheless, the entire cryptocurrency market will not be able to respond only to positive changes in ethereum.

I sure hope you're right, I missed the best timing to sell.
OP was correct about this being a trap, but I'm still long-term optimistic.
Time will tell.

Almost more than 50% of traders fall to this trap and they decided to HODL than selling cheap. Bull trap is common case on crypto markets but sooner or later bull trend will give real value of cryptocurrencies to itself. I guess 2000$ is first goal during next bull trend and price will surge upwards.

$2000 for ETH?! as the first goal?! huh! very optimistic! I think that Ethereum is able to reach $1000 this year, but I am afraid that for the new ATH we will have to wait until 2020.
On the way for sure we will have some bull traps, but this is part of this market from the very beginning.

Yeah, it was a trap but I think the price will be more high in March since the hardfork was done that time and many ETH supporters will comeback and by more. We should always be optimistic, the price will recover again so wait for that and have more patient.

Rather than buying more i'm just going to hodl and wait it out. It's impossible to predict when the sharp declines are going to take place. Ethereum will pump eventually after a successful hardfork owing to a reduced block reward.

Still a good decision, we never know when the dump will stopped so holding is the best option as you would not risk more.
You buy if you believe that the price has already hit the floor and of course when you have enough left to spend.


By holding we can expect that it will bring profit, ETH will never be the same, the fundamentals are good so eventually the price will recover.

Hardfork should have a positive impact on the Ethereum, but still do not expect that the price will instantly fly up, maybe the effect will be weak or even invisible

I guess ethereum will make a short price uptrend this week bexause of its scheduled hardfork this week and expect dump after this event. Ethereium is a good project and its growth in the future is more promisung than before because of its anticipated feature upgrade next year. Bull traps is a part of price fluctuation and you need a good trading strategy to overcome this sudden price decline.

I don't consider it as trap even,it just to be the natural movement of crypto currencies,we can't expect the prices to be in continuous uptrend or down trend,it needs to be up and down in regular periods to consider it as natural movement or it might by manipulated by someone.

$165 is a great resistance level there, a break of $165 would likely push it towards $190-200 level
I believe we would stay within the range of $120-$165 within this short period as consolidation and we will see where it heading next

No because ETH is coin for this price level even with the completion of the HardFork tomorrow! But I mean on a long-term projection because in the short term any oscillation in price is understandable. This update in ETH will determine many things not only for the same as for other cryptocurrencies! Could it be officially the beginning of the PoS vs PoW dispute?

Well, this is not a problem for me since I am Holding my ethereum and don’t trade with it.
Even though this short pump won’t last but I believe and await a very positive one before the end of the year, I believe all my coins especially ethereum will make me smile to my bank this year and most market are already showing green light because I notice an increase in most of my HODL coin while my short trading this week has also been such a wonderful experience.

Well, we must take into account that eth has its graph very similar to Bitcoin, because this suggests that the movements will follow Bitcoin, the best, is to wait, eth has many people who are constantly moving it, owners of ICOs and projects that are emerging, it is very likely that eth is likewise consolidating a very good liquidity zone to seek new price levels.

the association of ethereum with bitcoin may indeed occur in the market. so many people hope and look more active to pay attention to the bitcoin chart on the market. because they assume if bitcoin has the ability to rise, the altcoin will follow it.

And since that ETH is the second from the list possibilities that it's also the first coins to be moved when bitcoin begin to shine back, there's
a lots of people from the community who already playing with ETH asides from those developers and whales, the adoptions will also be there
in due time so keep holding.

I think we can expect steady growth and recovery especially after the upgrade as when the eth network will be upgraded it will provide better service and features that in turn will be helpful in generating value and also demand resulting in  growing price of eth so for me the upgrade will definitely be positive for eth.

I saw that not only ethereum is the only one coin that pump at this month. Because lot of altcoins get pump and follow the price of bitcoin get pump and not a trap.

of course not only ethereum which yesterday increased. all because bitcoin is also increasing, but unfortunately now it's not so good because of yesterday's price decline. hopefully there will be another increase soon.

The hard fork is only a couple of hours away from happening so we will get to see how the market reacts if the hard fork finally happens, it is my belief that the market will make a very fast upward movement once it is finally confirmed that the update took place without any problems, this is probably going to create a renewed hope in ethereum since we know that the last year has been full of disappointments including two previous attempts to update the network only to be delayed.

in a previous attempt to update the network ethrium, the team blamed the mail.ru names that did not update or change the software. Although they were warned. But there was also information about a possible breach of security to zero, which also should have been resolved. At least Let's wait for the results of the external update and I hope that everything went quite well. Although it is evening, but so far there is no information.

Just wait until ETH's hard fork is done.

---

We can easily say that it's a trap due to the market's dump but we can't say a final word unless seeing the effect of the Constantinople.

---

Few more hours and it's going to be done so wait for it until it's done.

I also hope that there will be another increase for ethereum and other altcoins, because this year is a hope, hopefully in March there will be many significant and better changes than February

Good advice mate, hopefully all traders will have the same way as what we're thinking of right now. Having calm and good mood will help us initialize a proper idea towards managing emotions regarding market dumps. If we think that's a trap, then don't deal with it and prefer waiting for the right time instead of being worried. Time is running, so as we live everyday there's always a chance that will happen which we can expect whether a good news or a bad.

If it's a trap, it should be a right time to think whether you'll buy or not.

---

The market is dependent with news and you are depending with the market so having good calls and decision will save you from this very unpredictable market.

---

Don't be brought up with your emotion, focus with your plans and seek help or advice but analyze those advices before following it.

The Hard Fork has already finished and the price has not changed negatively speaking, so it was not trap and the market understands that this current price is fair for ETH. It'd be good to wait a few more days to understand the extent of this valuation that occurred in the third week of February.

The price already dump when it reaches $160, but the dump is not that big so we should be thankful.
From here we can expect a new run of price increase and hopefully we will be able to break the resistance so the price can continuously rise upward.
ETH is still here, a much more improve, this is due for value increase as well but we don't know yet when it will reflect.

Maybe this is what I mean by the crypto market trap. The market rose slightly a few days ago and fell again with quite high scores. So I use the running system. Namely buy when low, and sell immediately when the market rises. Although the value is small. The important thing is not to lose.

You should not probably dream about too much, something positive of course this year will be, but first of all 2019 is necessary for the crypto-currency market to gain strength for a full-fledged bull market

2019 will anytime be better than 2018. Also if we get some positive news during this year market will rise way quicker as it also has to recover and bounce back for 2018 as well. So rest assured when the bull run happens it will be climbing 1-2k easily on a single day itself.

Of course, for almost the whole of 2018, we observed only a fall in the cryptocurrency market, when the ethereum fell to $ 76, Although at the beginning of 2018 the ethereum was at a level above $ 1000. K Each of us Hopes for positive pricing results this year.

Yes, the growth of ethereum is much expected previous year itself marking a big change on the global crypto market. To the expectation all the growth activities took place in the opposite manner. The big thing is the fall in value going low to $100. Recent growth took it reach above $165 and the same didn't last longer. Maybe this trend will change with reference to the hardforking.

After the price went to$160 and we saw massive sell-off afterward and a whole weak of consolidation, it is very hard to tell where we are heading next. That is a total guess, I would just wait for the stronger move and stronger signals were we are heading next.

There should be a next big move, and we should be waiting for that.
Not time to panic as we have seen this many times before, the uptrend of ETH last month is quite good, we have proven how big the supporters
are and what they are capable of, it's the weak hands who are selling, it's the whales who are dumping IMO.

ETH hard forks/upgrades got done successfully this week so that worry is out of the way. It is still going to track up and down with the overall market though.

we should have realized that hardfork did not solve the current market problem. maybe ethereum has been trying to improve the performance of the ethereum market but we cannot impose because the market itself is not very good at work.

Its all about system upgrade but somehow people were expecting price dumps after that's some reasons why they'll do selling their coins before the date of upgrade. We witness Ethereum upgrade yesterday but we found out there is no huge effect with trend and that's really great cause people are in learning right now. 

Of course because bear is for all coins, it's the entire market which are experiencing a bearish trend now.
Hark fork could give a little spike of price but that's only for short term and in fact we've seen that, now we are back to normal but the development gives significant contribution to the system and this will lead us to a much brighter future.

The positive consequences of hardfork we can see only when the bullish market comes, and until then Ethereum can not go against the entire market and show inappropriate and big price growth

exactly, ethereum depends on the overall general happening in the market and it cannot stand on it own and initial bullish trend but it has to follow what happened to bitcoin.

The market these days isn't that strong to support any little pumps unless there is indeed a massive and the attitudes of traders changed. If not, we will continue to be in this kind of trap where some people set the trap and anyone who buys becomes the victim.

The pump that happened a few weeks ago did shock many people because the pump suddenly arrived. I personally also had a positive impact on the pump. And I also decided to sell my coins, even though the benefits I got were very few. And maybe trade benefits from these changes.

Eth is on brink of either going down or going up. Why? Their upgrade is already commenced and from what I see, some still waiting for it to be fully operational. I am bit confuse with some events like forking, what would happened? is there really a new coins that will be forked and if yes, what exchange supports it and what is their objective? Too many questions that Vitalik should be answering.

I agree! Also, there appears to be a relationship between ethereum’s price and ICO sales – although the extent of this relationship remains unclear – it seems reasonable to suggest that the conclusion of a series of mega ICOs - which were paid for by ETH valued at hundreds of millions of USD - will result in some downwards pressure on ethereum’s price in the short term. The sponsors of these ICOs will naturally want to sell / hedge the value of the ETH they received. Will continue to monitor on this. Better get going as I resume my live poker (https://to.crwd.cr/smtm) sessions.

surprising for those who don't see the market. actually the last week's upward trend has been seen and many people predict that the pump will occur in the near future and that it will occur even if only a short time and then come back down. we don't need to worry, I'm sure the pump will happen soon, ethereum will be back soon.

The hype will be gone but that will not be so long. This time a little bearish trend has already happened to ethereum and that's it. After the bulltrend there will be a bearish trend and otherwise the reverse thing will happen.

Recently, ETH has been showing some good signs of recovery and the price has been increasing sharply, there is possibility that it would cross $250 soon, but some people also fearing that it would dump again after the pump.

There's no price crossing soon for Eth it keeps dumping hard after a slight pump. All the way from above 160$ last week to 125$  this week the cycle continues.

when there is a pump the dump will always be there, never think the pump will last for a long time. Current market conditions are not strong enough to carry out large pumps. we will survive and see small growth first.

Stay away from Bitforex, Bitforex has been performing wash trades and here are some of the token pairs where these bot trades can be detected.

Yes, pumps that occur in Ethereum are like traps. If this is a trap, there must be many people who have entered it. But we also have to think positively because it makes a good impact. Currently, the market is getting crowded and investors are starting to get excited again to invest.

Ethereum's value this year is more likely to be the need for some ICO projects that have succeeded or survived, the golden age of ethereum has ended with a variety of scam ICOs, if Tron does a big promotion I think ethereum needs to do crazy things so the value increases again ...

the pump will occur when there is good news in the world of ethereum, whereas if there is no good news then it will not be possible so you should not be too happy first when there is no good news because it will not guarantee a price increase.

There's a lot of good news actually but not all of them has been a reason for a price pump.

News is only use now to pump the price temporarily and that happens because this market is still manipulated, and in the first place we already know that it's a trap for people to buy because eventually ETH will fall down again, the trend has been consistently working, it's still a pump and dump game now.

Seems Ethereum and other altcoins will grow only after rising BTC. I have very big hopes for upcoming Fidelity launch in this month. They have 7.2 trillions money in their client assets under management while overal crypto cap just a little bit more than 100 billions. With such huge money coming in crypto we should see new bullrun

I'm not the biggest ETH supporter, I do own some after deciding that I will keep some Ether despite really disliking everything about the project, and I'm down 70% (bought at $400).

I did think it was a bit surprising that after the successful hard fork, price is going down. The delay caused price to go up. So it tells me still a lot of speculators playing around. Long way to $400!

wow, if that is true it can happen. we all have confidence, with that much money bulls will really happen. we don't even have to wait for a longer time, the faster the bull will be better for our market conditions.

You are right, maybe it will go down a bit, but it will be to buy cheaper, in fact the market went down without volume, it is good indication because many may be buying very cheap and all that demand may have new levels in prices, Eth can be benefited in higher price.

Long way indeed mate, plus compound that with the current bear market, so it's hard to see when we're going to touch $400 again. I will assumed that this is all just a test for Ethereum, hard forks usually bring some good spike to the price, so I guess the best thing to do is just wait for the next couple of months and see if forks has really a good effect on the market price.

I recently check the price in coinmarketcap: $127.56.

So it's currently down, but to fair it seems that all the top 10 is having a hard time start of this week, bitcoin goes back to $37++ after a strong $38++ price in the last 4-5 days.

And there's not even a negative news that will pull the market price today, very surprisingly. Anyways, ETH is still in the second spot, maybe we need to wait for a couple of days to understand what happens this first week of March.

Ethereum has always been the value and the need of almost every ICO projects even during the time of enforcement pressures from the US SEC for the trading of securities and transaction problem. However, there's something I don't quite understand in your message when you said "ethereum has ended with a variety of scam ICOs and the last time I checked ethereum recent hard forks was for the ease of TPS facing the network.

Meanwhile, the forks will help the price of ethereum market cause what make ETH ICOs project switch another smart contract provider is now fix.

This is same for every market it's always advisable to sell when there's a frenzy lucking somewhere behind the project.

It is necessary to look at later dates, because it is unlikely that something can change significantly in the near future, the crypto currency is still weak and it is not right to expect growth from it

ethereum price as of today is @260USD, i think this is not a trap, but we have to be careful, as we are not in control to the market..

Yes, it's not, ethereum just started their time in the bull run, most of the altcoins now are green and ETH is one of them.

I love watching this kind of pump movement, looks like we are back in the old glory days of crypto.

ETH has looked hugely underpriced vs BTC for a long time now - look at the BTC line on the historic ETH chart.
ETH got hit too hard in the bear market, and is now making its comeback. The last time BTC was this price, ETH was something like $600. There is still quite a way to go.

prices that have fallen low in ethereum these days have gotten very impressive growth in price. seeing a significant return of stable bitcoin, making ethereum continue to increase until now. maybe this is the beginning of the return of prices in 2017 that all altcoin growth is very good

Very true, ethereum price is really underpriced if you compared with 2017 price and today the bear market is starting, i'm not surprised seeing the ethereumm price increasing so high right now.

If ethereum hit $300 soon, it will increase more maybe up to $500 for the next few months.

It maybe a trap because the growth of eth is unexpected . one day i check the price and its only over 100 usd but recently the price had jump a whoping of another 100 usd  .  while bitcoin and other cryptos have only a natural growth which is not suspicious at all  .   i suggest plan your move first dont just buy instantly , its better if we will wait for sometime .  lets see if eth value will become stable or not  .

reaching a price of $ 500 seems to be very easy to pass by ethereum. this can be one of the things that will definitely happen in the near future, so in my opinion ethereum still has a strong position in cryptocurrency

That is not trapped, as long as he can buy at the right price, then he will be fine. If ethereum gets higher, it doesn't mean that is a trap for people who buy at that price because the price can go to anywhere without anyone can control. Ethereum itself still moves, and we don't know what next ethereum price wants to reach because the price can go lower or higher in anytime.

There is no trap if you believe the market have change into bull market.
Price movement maybe not normal as ETH pump to 20% or more today, but that's how the price move during bull run, it's normal in bull run.
You will have to wait longer if you will not take the opportunity to buy now, ETH might follow what BCH has done and been doing.

Prediction made by OP has already come into reality. Yes, made it back to $200 and it's likely to getting back its confidence to $300 soon but the current position is $260.

I'm positive for $500 and more than that, we've seen it before @ $1,000 - $1,400 so $500 is reachable and possible.

yeah maybe now ETH is rising quickly to 300$ but i guess this wont last for long when it is too high now, it is hard to get any higher without a strong dump, so investor want to invest in ETH should wait for a little until the dumps come to buy after that we can have profit from the rising market in the future.

the possibility that you mentioned could happen but in my opinion the figure is too big for this year, I think $ 600- $ 700 is the maximum amount ETH can achieve this year. the movement that occurred in this week was so good that it opened up opportunities for ETH buying trends.

for ethereum coins it is very possible to immediately reach prices as you mentioned, but keep in mind, from experience, the increase in ethereum prices looks very fast if the price of bitcoin also rises sharply, so in my opinion if bitcoin can reach more than $ 10,000, ethereum might it can also reach $ 500. but if bitcoin can't reach that level, it will certainly be difficult for ethereum to reach $ 500

I compare the situation with the year 2018, when the price of ethereum Reached 825 dollars, then Bitcoin had a price of about 11,000 dollars.  Based on this, it can be assumed that ethereum will be able to reach $ 500 when Bitcoin reaches $ 9000 and this is quite likely, but only until the end of this year.  Although many analysts claim that this Frontier cryptocurrency market will overcome in the coming months.

In my opinion there is no such thing as a trap in Ethereum I consider it a long term investment, it will go down yes, but it always goes up, you can make a short term profit and a long term profit as well, depending on when you want to buy and when you want to sell, this applies to all the stable coins in the market, not only Ethereum.

I believe that as well. I don't consider ethereum to have trap points. They are not here for short-term investments. They have solid foundation to begin with. Such price movements is normal from my point of view. It is totally different with real pump and dump coins. Pumpndump coins have no recovery after the dev team got what they wanted. It will be a steady decline on their end.

We are the one who creates trap in our trading or investing, we put too high expectations without fact finding, if we believe that ETH is good for holding, we must keep updated not just in ETH but in market status, ETH is good platform it just the market started to recover.

Long term holders don't think of a trap as we are focus on the future.
However, those who like to day trade ETH, they have to make sure they do the right entry so they will not be trap.
It's the term used and very popular when you are a day trader, so long term trader does not find it relevant in making decision.

you are right, because the calculation for a trader can be wrong when they decide to enter the trade with the wrong asset. now you can see the ethereum market is going up, and I think it's natural for traders to start strengthening their trade in ethereum assets.

It took months before it hits $200 value but this is not trapping mate ,since $260 price is what we are talking now.though this very moment we can see the bloody market again.bitcoin dropping more than $500 value as a speak

But if you don’t need the money better keep it hold and never add to the panicking noobs

They all wanted to take every opportunities so they're moving from assets to assets in order have some piece of profits, but it's always needs to have good plans before moving inside as there's also negative side when the value is fomoing up, sets some backup plans.

very big trap, is this the end of bull? https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethereum

From my learning the market is all about the volatility. User involved with day trading should know to make profit out of the day trading and user preferring it a long term investment should have the patience and should not fall into FOMO, because same as today's market scenario there will be very large scale price fluctuations which we could've never expected for the time period.

Ethereum prices at the beginning of the year reached $200 and it was not a trap. Although the price is easy to change and decreases but the price rises again. If you can long term investments, of course, you can now sell Ethereum. And will get a pretty good profit.

And as you say about the strong dump, we just came by with a sudden dump. But do take this as another moment of accumulation instead of looking to it as bad correction. It's still giving us time to accumulate more.

The figure you had given is much higher than the figure that I've given. You are eyeing for $600 - $700 while mine is just $500. I'm not eyeing for $1,000 - $1,400 I just said that we reached it before.

seems you have less confidence with ethereum mate
i think you should learn about ethereum first, to know more about this great altcoins
because this is not the end of bull, but this is the beginning buddy

Definitely, he is in doubts mate cause he has no faith with ETH. He felt disgusted when he saw a slow price increase for ETH rather than of BTC.
Giving trust in the market will help us to confidently invest crypto and there is no way of thinking bad in the future but to think of the positive output.

Just chill, it's common to happen like this. After a big pump, a dump will coming too. It's actually happened so many times before and for me it's not a trap.

Btw just look at the market right now, i think it's starting go up again.

Many users call it a trap when the pump does not continue or when the pump only remains for a short duration of time  but like what you said , this things arent new because this do happens at all times . And just like what the popular saying said ,what comes up must comes down   . That is the favorite tagline of cryptos   .@consideritdone no its not the end of the eth's bull run because there isnt any bull run that happened  . The increase for eth was only small and only considered as a normal recovery  .

My relationship with ETH for now so far is so good. If ever this was a trap i already profit a lot. We should speculate more and learn to play with its volatility. With its performance i would say that it will increase more this month. If you could wait a little longer, you earn a little bit more too.

I don't think the pump that has happened in ETH is a trap. It's not wrong if you have a thinking like that because the bull trap often happened in cryptocurrency market. But if I see on the recent pump of ETH it's not a trap, because the price cryptocurrency has increased almost 99% and also with bitcoin. But now when the decreasing price come it just a correction from the increased price a few days ago and seems like the price cryptocurrency start to increasing again.

Still able to earn profit due to bitmex. Just need to analysis the resistance point and put the order. Although, this is just happening to liquidate all the trades.

i think this correction is linked to ico team how dump recently their ethereum to cover their development expenses but this year bnb is the new ico leader and ethereum will be healthy again

in fact there is no trap in the ethereum market. the decrease that occurred in ethereum was reasonable, because I briefly thought ethereum increased rapidly yesterday, and when there was a small correction that occurred it became very reasonable. and now we can see etheruem is stable and is starting to grow slowly again.

I don't think is a trap now, people who buy ethereum make the price going up and is much better then to have only a false grow with a drop after, and ethereum is still a good coin to but at this price.

No ICOs in ETH means also ETH is pretty much without a proper use-case and not in a market dominating position anymore. This is not good news in the long term! A bit more hype and BNB yould easily surpass ETH in marketcap

I guess the price increase of Ethereum reaches $200, this is not a trap. Proven now Ethereum has risen and reached the price of $239. This coin still has a very good chance of growing taller. From now on try investing in Ethereum before the price of this coin soared higher.

I think this time it really developing because we are waiting for your long period of time so we cannot have the chances again while this time it developed it need to be more valuable otherwise we don't get any profit for our investment.

That's how the market works, for every movements there's always a patterned to look over, every position that you've take needs to be accompanied by good knowledge so everything will be fine whatever it takes, this trap can also be use as opportunities to work well and get good profits.

It's still worth buying, knowing how the platform works and how giant companies uses ETH platform for their ICO, it's still no doubt that ETH just need some thing or nes to push it like bitcoin.

in conditions and situations that like today investors must be clever in utilizing every opportunity in investing because we cannot predict the development of crypto currencies if we feel we have benefited from taking that opportunity and the profits are yours

Its okay I know and I anticipate that  possible to drops their price if the bitcoin goes into drops another extension of patience, I ma not worry about this drops because if bitcoin goes back after this correction ethereum follow their to uprise again.

This new pump might be one of the things that might continue to run in the future. maybe this could be the best point ethereum is in a good position in cryptocurrency

It is actually the time for ETH to move,  we saw big increase with BTC but it don't have a huge effect to the altcoins. This pumps will help to give courage to those ETH holder and they'll never be disappointed this time

A lot of investors pushing bitcoin to move but not with Ethereum, this what it happen today and makes Ethereum feel bad if it's growing sentiment. But gladly and finally we are in the run now. Hopefully it could sustain until the end of this year or more.

Ethereum is currently moving in line with bitcoin but we should expect a breakaway at some point. It usually goes on one of those mad runs but it's hard to say when it will happen. Only choice is to hodl and wait for it to happen, perhaps some major announcement will cause a surge in price

I am not expect a break away if bitcoin will not move first.
Maybe if bitcoin will suddenly rise to $10,000, then ETH might be seen at $500 or even more.
For now, I don't want to be assume, it's too early, I am more bullish in bitcoin than on any alts.

There are many who waits for ETH pump too, those who waits might sell right away, and that time might lead to price increase soon when all holders and ETH supporters hold longer.

This was actually time for every utilized crypto currencies in the market to move forward (increase) and I won't say the increase in price of Bitcoin market doesn't have a huge effect to the altcoin market especially ETH because the trend/chart of the ETH and Bitcoin are a little different i.e they both experienced 7:03% and 7:62% growth respectively.

Well maybe was a trap but now i don't think is a trap even if bitcoin grow and drop, Ethereum not drop so much, but for long time i anyway think can be a very good option.

pump and dump already common in the crypto market altcoin is fluctuatif we must take a part when any chance for get more profit, and after bitcoin price grow up is a normal for top altcoin especially Ethereum are pumped moreover ethereum has been halving a few months ago.

No more trap,its the bull run which is the thing we all are waiting for.Moving for $300 and the target will reach when the next resistance of bitcoin.

This time I don't think that rap will not been possible because really the Bull Run going on so it changes the value and the stability also so investment and this time only make your money to be a profitable investment otherwise you also miss the opportunity in this time.
.

I don't think I have a bull trap. Prices are growing in a very stable manner. Bitcoin continues to progress more strongly. I want to sell it in the right place.

Go ahead, make sure to pull that trigger once you are on your target, don't be greedy as that would cause you a regrets in the future.
Bull run is not everyday, we waited almost one year to see this bull run now, so let's be smart and let this opportunity gives us the benefits we want.

today the market appears to have increased again after a dump occurred I think that is normal and I also don't think the trap, ethereum is now around $ 249 if bitcoin continues the uptrend it could be that ethereum reaches $ 300 in the next 1 to 2 months.

You are right on this one mate,because that same time ethereum made another dump until end of March when this coin starts to grow and make a good hype in the late part of April
And as May begins we see the continuity of growth and now sits at $250 and getting higher still

That’s what you call volatile market,that everything that goes down might grow again in right time,we have been a witness of the market from years ago when the hype happens and suddenly dump continuously after a few months

But now you can see that the ETH price has risen quite high from February, maybe this is a good thing for ETH

I believe that thinking that Ethereum is over only because there aren't as many ICO as in the past, in 2017, is silly; and even believing in a trap the recent rise of the last two months is ridiculous.

In the young crypto market even rises of 100/200% in a few months are normal, especially if these increases come after a fall of over 90%; then you want advice, dear friends:
enjoy the journey, let profits run and cut your losses! but above all never go against the market trend!

Good for the entire market, ETH is not the top performer of this bullish run, but since we see it rise, we are expecting ETH to even rise more.

Low this year was around 90 usd, and price already increase 100% as of this time, and though it's a significant increase already, we are ready for more as it's how the market behaves in crypto. The ATH of ETH is still high compared to its current price now, we need to surpass that to recover fully.

Well about the recent pump is something that happens very normal in the market, is something to be expected, because the bitcoin was in a bullish rally trend that had quite a race, then the altcoins and in this case ETH goes up, because the DEET investors also They want to join the profits when ETH goes up, knowing that bitcoin was staying in a comfortable area so that the altcoins would begin to rise.

It should also be noted that now ETH has a very good future, many ICO projects have become STO and IEO, so now we have very open options to receive great news of what investors decide to put in the projects through the tokens. , many have received much support due to the new rules that are in the market, this is similar to the confidence that had gone in 2018 when bitcoin took ranges of $ 3k.

For now the market has made a slight correction, very normal, which may unleash in a new stage to continue growing, or to form a small zone of lateralization, which would not hurt at all since it is now very normal for areas to form of liquidity, to support the possible falls that bitcoin may have when the bears enter and in turn in ETH.

I don't think all time highs would have to be surpassed for us to say it's fully recovered. As of now i think ethereum is already at a good recovering stage. As you've said, not long ago it was under 90usd and people are already quick in saying that it's dead. Now those who saw that as an opportunity are up more than double their initial amounts. It's not a bull trap, it's ether making a run along with the other coins following btc's movement.

I am sure that if it shows even better results, while former investors and users, who were frightened by last year’s fall in the market, will return to it.  In any case, if we take into account 76 dollars at the end of 2018, then today we have even more than 3X growth in the price of ethereum.  This is a grandiose performance by today's standards.
