it's been a steady price for Ethereum since the begining of this month, still moving within 200 - 240$ Usd , do you think this is a bad sign for ETH?

Yes i do caused by that steady price of ethereum means the market of ethereum is lack of the volatility. that means the price of ethereum is not getting a lot of traction from the whales, speculators or pumpers.
This thing can be defined as a bad sign for ethereum and ethereum gets less and less demand.
While ether is pegged to the bitcoin but at the same time IEO is robbing ethereum's buyer.

Its not a bad sign that ETH is still lacking behind in value but i hope that ETH 2.0 upgrade will take place as soon as possible for ETH to break the 200$ boundary and if POS is implemented  like planned it will help ETH price alot

In the dollar, the ether still looks good , but it falls to bitcoin without rollbacks , I would not buy the ether now it is better to be in bitcoin and wait for signs when bitcoin can start a bullish trend.

No, I don't think that is a bad sign.
I think it's more of a sign that eth is trying to establish a new baseline.
Obviously, people still love it and support it, but there is a lot of speculation as to whether or not it can compete with the newer smart contract platforms.

My guess is that after it stabilizes, it will once again rise along with btc.
In the long term, eth has so much going for it that others just don't have.
It has market penetration, brand awareness, and the largest crypto network.
People will flock to it when they start to see bullish signals.

It isn't a bad sign the thing is ETH is retracing and the risky part is we never know where it is headed to the hands of bulls or the bears. I guess staying on bitcoin by now is a great move to do.

ETH is fine.

When BTC was $20k ETH was $1k

Now that BTC is at $12k  ETH is at 0.2k

ETH should reach $600 soon enough. It just needs to sort out some internal drama. Follow Vitalik's twitter and you'll know what I am talking about.

I personally don't see the value of ethereum being relatively stable as a bad sign. Ethereum is strategically waiting for the next round of flight. I have a conviction that with the next increase in value of Bitcoin, ethereum would follow suit. I'll advise we still hold some ethereum because the market is bullish.

I don't think this is a bad sign. when all altcoin is red, ethereum is still stable. so this proves that ethereum is good now. the reason why ethereum hasn't gone up, is because there are still many people who are still afraid to buy. they are worried that if you buy now you have to wait a long time to get a profit.

I don't think ethereum struggling is a bad side. However when all altcoins are red, ethereum is still stable. Basically all coins look up to bitcoin which has a great impact on their prices hence when there's pump, prices rise and vice versa.

No matter how good we count things, that of course is not always true and Crypto itself is unpredictable, especially the prices that keep moving by investors and developers instead. If we observe that not only ETH is in bad condition but almost all coins, surely no one expects this to happen. I can only try and accept further developments.

I believe in Ethereum.
I don't think this is a bad thing, because ethereum prices tend to be stable. This situation is arguably better, many altcoins have decreased. Hopefully this is a temporary correction before flying again.

When ethereum reached over 350 a few weeks ago i was very optimistic that eth will essily reach over 500 in august but now situation is in front of us and i think even if eth reaches 300 this month it will be good but long term eth hodl is still great strategy as upside potential is huge.

I think you should not hang your nose in advance.  Since these are only minor bitcoin jerks that have a very bad effect on ethereum.  I think that this will soon end and there will be growth.  At least you need to wait for the update of Ethereum then the price will definitely rise.

Market is somehow behaving in a strange manner because as the btc price, volume and dominancy is increasing, remaining market seems to be either stagnant or struggling, same is the case with what is happening to eth, i think for other coins to grow the overall market volume needs to surge because without buyers and demand the price cannot move up and sustain.

It is not a good or bad sign; over the Past few months etherum hasn’t reached 500$
So there isn’t much to worry about

Just be smart with your findings and take care of your risk management

I think ETH has little hype compared to any other crypto. It’s been mainly about development and building. And I like that. FID again Eth would be very difficult when Eth starts mooning.
I also think building and development of Ethereum should be the main focus, coupled with adoption. The market value of Eth would naturally take square as it grows. BTC  a currency is doing just that with government acceptance and regulations and macro adoption. Eth would do its own with more effective smart contract.

Every coin struggle, even BTC struggle, so there's no exemption for ETH at all.
You are asking if it's a bad sign, bad sign for what? If you are referring to the short term movement, maybe it is because once a major coin struggle, that will affect the rest of the altcoins and in fact it's pretty obvious that the overall market of altcoins looks bad due to the increasing dominance of BTC, and worst is  BTC is not so stable going up so altcoins will be stuck at that level, possible movement might be going down a bit or just remain at the dip price.

It's actually a good sign for Ethereum. Bitcoin is dominating the market for quite a time while most of the alts are performing poorly. With Ethereum holding the price, they'll get a boost when there's a general rise in the price of altcoins as well as when there are updates about the ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is one of the few alts that has been on an active development. When Ethereum would launch it's new blockchain, it could bounce back to it's ATH, so it's a alt worth holding.

I think this happens not only for ethereum but for almost all altcoins. The price of ethereum is currently depressed against bitcoin to prices below 0.02btc and I don't think this is the end of ethereum. Ethereum is traded as a major currency in many large exchangers and I think this will be the trigger for ethereum prices to recover

I agree that this is an opportunity for us to accumulate ethereum at a cheaper price. I won't worry if I hold ethereum because ethereum is the biggest liquidity coin after bitcoin. I think ethereum prices will recover in the future and this is an opportunity to make a profit

Ethereum right now was recovering its price value according to the coinmarketcap. But still not enough to say fully recover, but good to buy now then hold in a long term. I hope increasing value of ethereum will continuously grow in the market. 

I think just because the stagnant ethereum price does not mean a bad signal for ethereum. Altcoin prices are generally stagnant at the moment due to the strong dominance of bitcoin but I think the conditions will change and altseason will come.

It is very likely that the price of ethereum will recover and go at a high pace when there is a season of altcoins. Also, the price may be affected by updates that will change the mining method in pos. Thus, there will be a large demand for a coin, as many will want to get ethereum for storing coins in their wallet, and not use expensive equipment.

Eth price struggling at last above 1 year. I think it's the bad sign for eth. I hope if stop the eth mining then eth price is increase. Otherwise eth are not survive.

ETH is altcoin which still ranks number 2 coinmarketcap. In my opinion, his current position shows that the price of $ 200 is not a bad sign and is still in the normal category.

Market generally is stagnant simply because of btc dominance and its dump can only add more value to all alts but who can tell as it as also refuse to dump to an expectation . ETH will gain more value if only the market of alts gain its strength again from btc dump.

yes it is very bad for ETH, because if their circumstances continue so there will be an opportunity to altc under it to shift its position. and will result in the loss of investor confidence that has been supporting ETH. but maybe the price will rise when the ETH development process to the latest version is complete.

How can this be a bad sign for ethereum? wow it seems that many holders are thinking that when the price plunges, it's a bad sign for a coin. Well, it seems so if the coin isn't established and mostly built by the hype.

But for ethereum, I think this is already a well established coin and you don't have to think about the fall as a bad sign. Think of it as something that you can take an advantage by buying more when the price is on sale.

Steady price is normal because eth is known to have that nature  . being stable is also better than being volatile because you wont loose anything while your only waiting for your profits whenever the price increases .  

you wont see more results because the month of august is only getting started  .

 Wait and leave the charts for a while ,comeback again when the month is about to end  and thats the time to make a full analysis/review

The ETH price is struggling due to many factors. One of them the biggest reason is that the acceptance of the cryptocurrency over the world is now becoming a challenging issues. Most of the countries are still pending of their decision that whether they legalize the crypto in their country or not. So, going through this issues the token and the cryptos are facing massive drop in their demand which are created on the ETH blockchain or the other blockchain. That's why ETH price also dropping and struggling.

It doesn't seem so bad, I think it's a good thing maybe some market players who have big capital are waiting for ETH 2.0 update.  maybe this is the right time to buy eth before it rises slowly and hopes to break last year's highest price

No, I don't think it's a bad sign. because the current stability is appearing in many alts top and not only ETH. So, this is a normal professional.
currently large transactions are showing in Bitcoin and USDT is the most. Therefore, alts do not have the opportunity to grow at this time.

I think, It's not a bad sign of ETH. When bitcoin grow will stop some time, then ETH price will grow fast.

It is true that ethereum is not getting much response from the traders. It should deserve much. Seeing the development of the market lately, the coin is revolving around $ 200 for the past one month whereas its rival bitcoin has surged many times in price compared to it. So I think there is something going on in Eth.  

The major reason behind this dwindling on the price of Ethereum is the internal issues that are currently going in within the core team management but with time these issues will be fix and we shall see another stringer on the Altcoins and Ethereum will take the lead while others follows. Let's wait patiently and see what the few months remaining in 2019 have for the cryptocurrency space, I believe we will see another Altcoins times.

Most of the coins are struggling for the past few months to keep their positions, only bitcoin made huge progress this year, and BNB, maybe few other coins. Bitcoin is dominating the market, and what we are waiting now is people to start moving their profit from bitcoin in altcoins, which will be the start of the altcoin season. Will it happen this year or next is difficult to say, we need to be patient and wait for it.

YES, actually I dont know what will make ETH pumping again, especially after ICO period was died

ethereum is still very potential to be developed, as one of the platforms in cryptocurrency, I think ethereum will not easily die, just to get up ethereum requires strong encouragement from investors and developers, ethereum needs new innovations especially in terms of limiting their supply in the market, if scarcity occurs i think ethereum will go up.

if I think in 2019 for ethereum is also a sign of good price growth at this time. because now the development of ethereum prices has also increased compared to last year, so I believe ethereum prices will also provide better prices this year

So sad to see ETH really struggling and failing,,, is it not? I really thought when we took $300 this year we would not see $200 again but now we are about to even go into below $199 territory.

The bright side is now that Bitcoin lost a lot, ETH does not look like it will follow the slide so badly.

Most of the ETH trade volume is coming from trade with BTC and not from the trade against USD/USDT. So let's compare the prices in BTC. When the current bull run started in April 2019, the ETH price was somewhere around BTC0.032 per coin. As the bull run progressed, it went down by a bit and for a brief period of time stabilized around BTC0.025 per coin. The June-July bull run took it below the psychologically important BTC0.02 level and for a while it was hovering at BTC0.018 before making a slight recovery to the current levels of BTC0.0195.

From the prices (in BTC), it looks to me that a large number of ETH holders have sold their coins and moved to BTC (or even USDT). It can also be a sign of continued selling of ETH by the ICO promoters. Prices are up by 5% today, but I don't think that this is a stable trend. ETH will resume its downward journey very soon.

Yes, i think so.. many coin its stuck like ethereum, i dont know why, because volume of ethereum is grow. But i still believe in ethereum and i think ethereum will grow in 2020. So i'll be patient for it.

Ethereum has an excellent blockchain and development team, but its kiddie founder Vitalik Buterin seems stuck on some childish issues no one

takes seriously anymore... He goes off on endless tangents & lengthy debates about minor details and sometimes ludicrous "politically correct"
 
propaganda which makes him sound more like a fresh gender studies liberal arts college graduate than a visionary entrepreneur...

It is not just a month anymore.
It had been stable ever since it went down to $130 then corrected to about $190 - 200.
It had been a bad year. Yes there is usage but it needs investors again.
Large amount of holders have withdrawn from that $1k price and I dont think they will be back again and are now looking for another investment or may have already found one.

ethereum is like a road in place but not only is ethereum a few other altcoins also experiencing the same thing, I don't think it's bad for ethereum and still have the opportunity to grow but that might be in the next few months or next year.

Eth price has become the talk of crypto analyst for a while now. Most predictors has gone behind the curtains cos of the unpredictable nature of the Ethereum network. I don't think there's any strange thing about the price movement because only the market determines that. Soon enough we will see a remarkable spike.

Look at the dominance of Bitcoin vs altcoins at coinmarketcap and you will understand that altcoins holders have pumped bitcoin since February 2018. Bitcoin dominance was a little less than 35 percent in January 2018. That's why it is difficult for altcoins to grow. But yesterday, a very little correction has appeared. I think the dominance is going to reverse. But it certainly will take time as there is still some strong believers that Bitcoin is the only one cryptocurrency worth something. But i don't really like Bitcoin as it doesn't help the development of the blockchain technology in term of transaction speed/cost, facility of use, anonymity, Dapps. The dominance of Bitcoin means that cryptocurrencies are mostly used by speculators.

at the moment eth has not been able to do anything in terms of price, but the development of eth is quite good from the look of myether and etherscan they have also been updated and eth also I hear changing from POW to POS

The market in general has been struggling and ethereum happens to be one of the most important altcoin, even the almighty bitcoin has been struggling to keep up, and that explains the volatility we've been experiencing.

I do not think this is a bad sign. Perhaps this is a chance to buy ETH at such an attractive price. The only sad thing is that ETH is clearly not undervalued. However, I still believe that by the end of this year we will see an improvement in the price of ETH and the crypto market as a whole. I really do not want to think about the bad, as this is the second year when the crypto market has fallen and has now begun to show a more or less positive trend. Let’s think positively and then everything will definitely be fine.

This is neither good nor bad. All we can know is consolidation with accumulation. In what direction is this accumulation, we can see only after go out from consolidation.
Whatever we think, it will not affect the market.

and you call it struggling??
the price is stable , the problem is not the price in USD but that its btc price is not going up :

https://i.imgur.com/H3k0Jxym.png

it means that etherium is not gaining enough trust from investors and Vitalik's experiments do not work as well as they were supposed to
it all could change with the fork coming next year , the price should go up
well it is either going to break the record highs or , if the fork is not a huge success , stay in the range , eventually dropping its value versus bitcoin

Thats true Ethereum was struggling much to retain its throne, But for me $200+ dollars price is not a bad sign. If we compare the Ethereum price in the previous months it was far more decent and stable, who knows Ethereum will bounce back versus BTC or USD maybe today or tomorrow and thats worth to wait.

This price reflects the current popularity of Ethereum among investors at the moment. Ethereum lacks new good ICO projects that will attract a large number of investors. It seems to me that Ethereum will still show itself and its price will rise.

Eth fall is too deep today. Don't really know the reason for such fall. How it wakes up and move up. Otherwise it will touch the low again.

If now this is not a bad sign against ETH but it is a fairly stable coin price movement but if this happens in 2017 then this is a severe threat to investors and bounty hunters

It is because some people still believe that Bitcoin can reach $15000 or more. But for me, they are dreaming. At 70 percent dominance of the cryptos market it can't do better than $12000. When they are going to be exhausted, some money with a little chance can return back to altcoins. Else, there is no hope and it would mean the death of cryptocurrencies as no new companies and money are going to try to enter the crypto market if people only trust bitcoin as new coins are going to be sold immediately for bitcoin.

we are gradually seeing ethereum dropping deep into 190 to 150 price range. the altcoin have never shown any strong bull market since this year. it appears we might be heading back to the same price range of early january for etherem. the whole price increase of 2019 is about to be wipe out.

Binance and its pumped IEOs is the main cause of decline of ETH this year.

It is one of the cause of ETH decline. But the main one is Bitcoin as people were selling their altcoins for Bitcoin in the hope that Bitcoin could reach 20000 usd.
And some still believe it. But no, i don't think it is possible as Bitcoin has near 70 percent of dominance of the crypto market. It means that Bitcoin has been pumped like a pump and dump scheme. In January 2018, Bitcoin had a dominance of 35 percents. It is the fault of some whales who wanted people to pump the price of Bitcoin and some of them have hoped to sell more at $14000.

it is very difficult to predict the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum or Altcoins ... it might be said this is the lowest price of ethereum at this time and might grow well later on ... and could also decrease to be at $ 100 - $ 150 in 1 ETH ... and we can hopefully in the future ethereum can again show that Ethereum deserves to be the number 2 coin in the world of cryptocurency with high volume ...

market was moved very dinamic , and every seconds price changes with several reason.everything could happen in market and we will see bitcoin , ethereum or another altcoin price jump and down.but so far market sentiment and confidence already recovered.so we should not worry about crypt future.we just need more patience to see all price back to ath.

not bad, it's still sideway,
try to look at the big TF, ETH still goes according to its trend, as long as it's still above ema21 on the big TF, then it doesn't matter for ETH to go up or down,
Professional traders will know this, and have left the market 2 weeks ago because they know how the market moves up and down.

Market sentiment looks still positive, this is seen from the surge in bitcoin prices this year. I think the price of ethereum will recover if the value of the market cap continues and the value of the transaction goes up but due to market conditions that are still volatile, the prices of almost all altcoins currently appear depressed.

That's not a bad sign at all as ETH is still not rising despite the time BTC was bullish.
Now, that BTC is down, it just followed, maybe if ETH will be back below $150, that would give a good buying opportunity, who knows if this market continues to be bearish but I'm not hoping it will happen, I'm still happy seeing BTC trading at $9k over as it's still a good price compared to the lowest this year

IMO
many alts are struggling for the past few months mainly because of instability in the price of BTC once BTC gets tad bit stable I am sure alts including ETH will start moving up.

If you check the charts, then you can find that on 2017 January, the exchange rate of ETH was somewhere around BTC0.010 per coin (which represented a 500% rise when compared to the rates on January 2016). Back then, the valuation for Ethereum was considered as fair and the experts were of the opinion that ETH was neither overpriced or underpriced. The ICO boom took it to BTC0.100 per coin and above. The crash came very soon, as the ICOs ran out of steam. IMO, now ETH should come down to the fair valuation of Jan 2017, i.e BTC0.01 per coin. I won't be too surprised even if goes below that level.

Ethereum is feeling really bad right now. and its price constantly tells us about it. The technical development of the project is now at a very incomprehensible stage.

ETH is back to below $200 again, it has followed the trend that when BTC is trading over $10,000, ETH will also be trading at over $200.
With this market instability, it's hard to expect a growth from ETH this year, except if it will make some good run in the last quarter like what happen during 2017's bull run, but I think it's likely to happen since ETH does not move really well this year in overall.

During last months ETH's price increased a lot. Now some people mark their profits and will buy back after the correction finishes.

This things are perfectly normal in crypto and there is nothing to worry about, as the price will recover.

All of crypto price were dropped today even so with bitcoin and Eth but don't have to worried for Eth because market support still high for each day and bought more when the price down would be good i guess and i have beautiful experience for Eth several years ago that i hold for a year and when reach all time high i can get decent profit from it so i want it repeated again and more patience to wait i think necessary

I think that after this fall the price of Ethereum should be corrected. During this summer, ETH fell, but if you take the prices from the beginning of the year, ETH is still in the black.

I hope we do not roll back to the level of winter. Otherwise, it will be a complete fiasco. Is it possible. Although a slight drop was predicted. I even read an article on this issue a few days ago.

After studying a few days about the development of ETH, I thought, this was the worst situation for ETH. In my opinion, $ 300 is not difficult for ETH to be achieved, apparently it did not last long and today the price of ETH is down by 10%.
Visit https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/

The price of Eth has dropped considerably low compared to what it was and this shows that Ethereum is seriously struggling to attain its glory. But anyways it's an opportunity for me to obtain a bag full Eth at a very good price

It is not a bad sign even though Eth price is currently struggling in increasing it's price steadily. Eth can surely recover and will follow the lead of bitcoin price once we can hit the middle of bullish period.

But this sign is also good especially if you want to put more investment as you can buy Eth in a low price and once the price will bounce back then you can sell it and get a good amount of profit.

Not a good moment for altcoins, etherium being their leader has shown it is not ready for any pump yet and at this rate if btc dumps around $7000 we may see eth dropping below its all time low this year making it appear investors are losing interest in altcoins

Let me shock you, do you know this is a very good thing for Ethereum to even stabilize, you are seeing it as issue because you are particular about the investment use of it, but those that uses it as utility coin would rater prefer it that way, let me also ask you one question, will you want a situation where I pay you Ethereum that is equivalent to about $1000 now for a product you sell to me, and by the time it got to your side, the money had reduced to $800? Would you be happy, but won’t you be happy if what I sent to you is exactly what you received?

This is only possible when there is less volatility in some of these coins, so if Ethereum is stable and still being used, I would not say that their project has failed, they have only made it build more confidence in people.

Look at its satochi price. It is always losing since Mai 2018. People are now only interested about getting some bitcoin satochi. Most of new traders are not interested about ETH. Can this change? For the moment no. It would need a very big dump of bitcoin for people to change to altcoins. Altcoins are surely going to suffer too, but the dominance might become more normal. I don't think bitcoin can increase more than $11000 now. It is more or less when it had 70 percent of dominance. And people are exiting some profits from the cryptos market when they can. It can only go down little by little. It will take time maybe, but that will happen. Be patient, one day thoses  pumpers are going to be exhausted as the market is decreasing little by little.

Likewise, isn't really the perfect time for the bull run and so we can't be seeing them both soaring high as it did before.
Though it looks like that and didn't give a satisfying rate this time but I'm still confident that it soon to make some recoveries and give what we are expecting to happen.

I think enthusiasts of ethereum have begun to weaken in view of the ethereum price movements which are very difficult to rise and when prices fall very quickly, unlike the process of rising which is very difficult to happen, it can be concluded that the demand for ethereum has weakened.

I think it's normal for ethereum and don't worry about that sign, is bette to move their price than to stay it without moving, moving of each coins is part of the crypto volatility. So nothing negative bad sign this for ethereum.

Its really not a good sign of performance in which Ethereum price is in dip again below $200 now. This shows that we are still in bearish trend because not only the Ethereum but the whole market is still in difficult performance but hopefully they will bounce back before this year would end.

It is really not looking that great, this is not just about what altcoins are going through, I mean most of the altcoins went down as well but ethereum has been falling like crazy even faster than many of the top 20 coins.

I sense that this failed stake thing or new update that hasn't been delivered must be playing some role in this because people bought up ethereum a whole ton thinking they would start staking and making more ethereum whereas the update didn't happened and its still PoW so they sold all their coins slowly and now there is big sale pressure from those people who constantly give up and sell their ethereum. Maybe its another subject but that seems like the biggest plausible option to me right now and without having a new update that will not stop.

Why not just relax, ETH could drop below $200 but it could easily rise to $200, however, it's not what we are looking for, we like to see more consistency from ETH which we haven't seen this year so far.

Now that BTC is back over $10,000 after shaking the market for hours, I think this is a bullish sign and would help eth to be back again if BTC will continue.

Ethereum back to the downtrend in a few hours ago but now, the signal for ethereum is going to go up so we could prepare to sell some ethereum if we want to make a profit. But you can hold for more if you want to make a bigger profit, but that will guarantee to us to see the ethereum price can increase higher after this. It is better if we can make any profit that we can so we could still trade no matter if we are still in the bear market. Ethereum price will still up and down in this month, and I think that we need to be patient for more and still waiting for the bull market come. We have a chance to see the ethereum price will be back to the highest price soon.

Drop is pretty normal in the market, but what makes people frustrated is they are expecting at least some good recovery from ETH after being down 10 times from its ATH. ETH as the king of the altcoins market has been outperform by other coins, and that will cause doubt to the people and think of taking out their investment and put to other coins like BNB which has been stable and steady this year.

From the start of the year to the current date, there was a decline of ETH value in sats, it didn't feel bad because it was save by the increasing price of BTC.

Jan. 1 0.036 BTC   

Aug 16 0.0182 BTC

why don't we wait for the POS transition and see
I expect etherium hit new heights if the fork is a success , the price is slumping now but so does the price of every top 50 altcoin
with a very few exceptions , look at bitcoin today , losing 1000$ in a matter of hours and then regaining half in an hour
see saw like this doesn't help the stability of the markets and etherium is not going to be different - following the btc price trend clearly

The recent dump has been pointed out in the twitter that it was caused by a massive scam in China that are in billions and right now they have BTC, ETH and EOS. So in conclusion, that scammer group will just continue to dump btc as well as eth so ethereum won't even be able to struggle at all but to go lower to what we are expecting because of this incident.

The thing is this scammers are not stupid to just dump everything one time, that's $3 billion worth of combined BTC and ETH and they will noticed if they will sell it in one go, in addition, they will not be able to get the best price, so I believe they will sell it slowly, maybe trade with other altcoins before selling for their preferred fiat pair, and these people is not only concentrated in one country for sure, they will make sure their transactions are non traceable or hard to trace if the latter is not possible.

But do you feel that the news of this scam comes at the right time when the price of bitcoin has been pumped and needs something to adjust or not? And with such a strange coincidence, ethereum's price struggled and fell low, which was due to the desire of some people, the information we see is just that they create the effect so that everything seems to be very reasonable. And if they intentionally do so, change is impossible, we can only wait until they have what they want, ethereum will come back very naturally and no longer struggle

There need to be a big crash of bitcoin for altcoins to recover like in January 2018. Altcoins are surely going to crash lower if this happen, but the equilibrium of the dominance has a chance to return back to a normal value.
In 2017, people were trading bitcoin vs altcoin and the dominance of bitcoin vs altcoins was reasonable. But now, people are more concentrating on trading bitcoin vs usdt and are selling their altcoins for bitcoin. Selling altcoins for bitcoin only help to pump bitcoin and the increase of dominance of bitcoin. And they are buying bitcoin near or at its highest current price. Some of thoses people are surely losing by doing this, but they are still dreaming that bitcoin is going to reach $15000 or more because they look and believe in the fake news made by whales.
Current people only care about money and don't care about the technology. Maybe some of them have never use a crypto wallet or send a transaction on the blockchain. They are destroying the purpose and the development of the blockchain technology.

If Ethereum is really going towards attracting a stable prices as you claim, then it means that it would no longer be able to attract investors anymore, because there is nothing investors can do with a stable price, their money will just remain stagnant in the project without any increase in the price, so it will most likely be used by those who wants to use it for payment purpose, and I don’t think that the demand of those ones for now are as much the ones that comes from investors.

IEO has really destroyed Ethereum chances of really growing, IEO did not start the destruction though, but thanks to scammer who has spoiled the reputation of ICO, the only product that Ethereum has ever relied on, Ethereum just need to start working towards releasing another product with great innovation.

I guess it is,because days after you posted this ethereum price drops below $200 and now the value fall to $180.and no sign of recovering as I write this post.maybe this third quarter will bring us pain before the final quarter enters.look at bitcoin fall 7% from yesterday and this is a bad sign for the market that has just starting to gain volume again from the nightmare of 2018

Before I was almost sure that Ethereum could reach half a thousand this year, but now, it seems that all the crypto society is waiting for the changes. People need to see new features of the platform and its better work. The long-awaited update of Ethereum 2.0 should be a kind of work on bugs to fix all the existing flaws: let us be patient to wait for it a bit more.

Not really a long wait for us but not sure if it could make a pumping signal and break for another market records. What I could expect for ETH by now is to have a stable price range of $200-$300, but it sounds like it could be struggling hard again and saw it falling badly by now.
That is really unpredictable one and coudln't think for it gies for bull run this year.

In the last few months, there hasn't been any serious increase in ETH price so far. It's high time ETH pump up to reach about $2000

It's gonna be a dream for now, you are targeting a new ATH but look at ETH now, it is still struggling, it even cannot hold at $200 and now you are expecting $2000? Come on, it's not gonna be easy unless you are targeting it for long term, like 1 to 2 years from now.

Honestly, I would already be contented if ETH will at least finish $500 this year because that's already over 400% increase from its low this year, and that would also trigger the ETH tokens to at least recover a bit.

The market is even worse now as crypto experts consider that ETH in the future will continue to decline. Our alts season is still far away and we should be prepared for the strong dump of the whales.
I expect the price of ETH to go down to $ 154 in the coming days.

The reason why ETH is struggling to rally and bitcoin isn't is because there are too many people who are underwater in their ETH positions, while in BTC they are not.

Someone did some realized profits/losses based on balances on both ETH and BTC when a transaction took place and somewhere around 80% of all ETH investors are sitting at a loss and with BTC most investors are sitting at a profit.

Hence the reason why every decent rally we get on ETH causes it to get shorted down, its pretty bad that we couldn't touch $400 a few months back.

I would not say that the price is struggling, the price just stands in one place and does not move, for more than a month

since this thread was created, bolajiy123 asks if it's a bad signal? It seems like it is indeed a bad signal because at this time the price of ETH is falling below $ 180. although bitcoin prices are recovering, but not with most altcoins, especially ETH. it's just that this is an opportunity for those who want to buy ETH.

so far, I believe that ETH is trying to pass the price of $ 200 again. it would be nice to see that the price of ETH could be above $ 200 again for this month, especially if it could be higher.

there is no bad sign for eth, this price will now be one of the prices that will return to the best position in the future. right now eth is just waiting to get the best price and stable market conditions, because when viewed market conditions greatly affect current ethereum prices

The price of ETH will go down further as ICOs are increasingly unlocking tokens, they are gradually selling it and making its price unable to rise sharply.
ETH is still affected by Bitcoin, so I think its price will still fall.

Lol which ICO is unlocking the tokens?can you mention even atleast one of them?

Almost all of the project are locked ,not paying still and some are run away already and not responding to the updates so which are you referring about unlocking their tokens?

Ethereum will struggle until Bitcoin starts to grow high again ,because all of alts now are just relying for what bitcoin activities soon

Eth is deeply integrated into the market. Naturally, there is no excitement on it now, but bitcoin pulls it along. If the bitcoin rate does not rise rapidly, then Eth should steadily go up.

yes, a gradual increase in bitcoin will help altcoin and ETH follow suit. but if bitcoin is increasing rapidly, and is not followed by market demand then ETH and altcoin will be difficult to keep up with the growth of bitcoin. before the update occurs ETH requests should increase.

As with most alts, I don't think the ETH price drop has much to do with how good or bad ETH is, it's more a symptom of the general market movement. A lot of good alts look very underpriced against historic levels, vs both $ and BTC. I would expect that once real bullish sentiment is back then alts will overtake BTC as the main drivers of price growth.

If you look at Ethereum prices I think the price is stable. But if no surprising movement would be very difficult to make a profit.

But I don't think that this would be bad. It looks like Ethereum will be Hardfork. The possible price of Ethereum can again surprise us all.

And if looking at the price of Bitcoin this week is also very positive because the price also rises. I think Ethereum will also respond to the Bitcoin movement.

Crypto experts have a reason for that, and the first thing we can easily see is the dominance of bitcoin, which is rising so high, capitalization is flowing towards bitcoin, and when there is no sustained capitalization, altcoins, especially large altcoins such as eth, the value will go down with a high frequency, altcoin season is still very obscure. The price that you anticipate will be able to reach in the near future, this battle of eth is very hard, investors like us are also fighting fiercely in the situation of being stuck.

Really its going steady price .It's got a downtrend and fall down heavily and starting to recover once again. The price is around 180$ at the moment and its struggling .Market always is an uncertain place .I think the platform is well established and still on the 2nd position of the market cap .So hopefully it will recover soon .

ethereum will recover and will rise together with bitcoin for this year, the fall in ethereum prices is due to the many shiitcoins which often have an adverse effect on ethereum and investors have not yet believed in ethereum which is still low and unstable but if bitcoin rises ethereum will definitely follow it

well we can see bitcoin is stuck in 9600-10000 in this week, so we can expect more for ETH.
because many exchange has organize ieo that mean ETH will not use for ICO, so their no chance por pump/dump in short time.
unless if bitcoin fly.

I don't want to expect from ETH again as it was not able to produce a good price when BTC was at $13,000.
Maybe if BTC reach higher than $13,000 there might be some good reaction in the altcoins market, I'm just looking at the dominant rate and it's has increased significantly, that makes ETH and other altcoins failed to rise even if BTC is quite bullish a bit.

ETH will struggle, but we won't be affected so much with that if we continue to hold.
For me, I've seen ETH struggle in the past as well, but the right time comes, ETH rises and I did not even expect it will priced at almost $1400 when it reached its ATH.

I think people need to look longer-term. YesETH price looks low at the moment, but it is still a great project and current price says more about the general market than it does about ETH in particular. I do think that ETH will recover and hit a new ATH at some point, although I'll concede that a new ATH doesn't look likely to happen anytime soon. The alt market looks very low at present but there are plenty of good coins in there and it should eventually recover. Alts are many and varied, they don't all just 'fail' at the same time - there is a lot more positive price movement to come from good alts.

I don't see any struggle, they are very steady on where they are right now, people should not only look for the current price or the price in a one month span, they should study its contribution and it's long term profitability and status, I don't see any thread to its position.

Bitcoin gap is very huge,  Ethereum gap over the third coin in the market is still good at 5.40.

It is the general state of the current market. Moreover, once ETH is not limited to the supply, ETH is still mined daily. ETH is one of the top coins that grow quite well according to BTC.
If you mention struggling coins, I think the more sensible name is XRP, which has always been at $ 0.3 since the beginning of this year.

ETH has no problems, maybe because of the current market conditions that make ETH prices in a difficult situation. but now it is not impossible that conditions will improve, when this market improves I think ETH will have the possibility to be able to immediately fix the price.

Most of the altcoins that we have now are all struggling and it is  not Ethereum alone, we are just being picky on Ethereum before it is tagged the king of altcoins, and I could understand everyone that have so much expectation in bitcoin that  as a king of altcoins, it is meant to still leave differently which I think it is still following. If they were not storing, I am sure that they would have falling long time ago and probably one other coin would have already taken control of the position of altcoins.

I think that the factor that is generally affecting altcoins is what is just making Ethereum to struggle and I am hoping that one day, the factor would be over and Ethereum would return back to its normal price that would encourage more investors and make its users have faith in it again.

You should not get excited at small raise and fall in the price of Eth or any other altcoin.Because it will not be the same for long period.Use the raise and fall in the price to buy and sell the crypto at low price and get profit from it.Ethereum had raised more then 300$,so ust hold to get some profit.

yes you are right the price of the ethereum is really struggling because there is no stability in any Crypto field currency that is the reason most of the people not stable in their investment and getting in and out very quickly so that when the people had studying mind set the value is also stable and constantly increase.

ETH is struggling and the same struggle is experience by most altcoins, the market dominance of BTC has increase to 70% and it's impossible for altcoins to rise holding only 30% of the market dominance while there are a lot of altcoins in the market.

If ETH will improve or increase, that will be the time when the altcoins starts to rally, but at this time, the chance is very dim.
Therefore, we need to be patient and just wait for that right moment because if you hold, you always have a chance to enjoy a possible bull bull run and ETH might be seen again trading over $1,000 when that time comes.

That's the problem faced by ethereum and that makes ethereum goes even lower than before. but it looks very sad to see when ethereum goes down and the majority of altcoin that used ethereum as its base pair will do the same thing too.
Bitcoin is stuck at this rate but big movement is not happening with ethereum.
We can't expect more even bitcoin is growing dude.
IEO has become the main problem to prevent the adoption of ethereum.

I think that's not a bad sign for me, And it needs also to drop the price. Actually not only etherium drop the price some altcoins also are not making a move to increase the price. And maybe in this year etherium will have sa good news for us for those holder of etherium. Must better to buy some more etherium while we wait to increase the price of it.

Right now, we can buy ethereum with lower price because ethereum price now reaches below than $200, and the candle is still on the red candle. If you want to buy more ethereum, I guess you can buy right now while the price is on the red candle. But I suggest you not to buy ethereum with a lot of money in one single buy order because if the sign is still on the red candle, there is a possibility to the price to getting lower than the price now. So be careful to decide and make sure you see where the price wants to go.

Well, that's not necessarily true. Bitcoin has been in this range for what, maybe 2 months now? And that is around 50% of ATH.

ETH meanwhile has been shitting itself every time Bitcoin slips, and yet not found a way to recover when Bitcoin did.

Believe me I want ETH to recover cause I got in at $400 but it doesn't look like we're getting what we want this year.

It seems to me that recently the pricing of ETH does not depend on the price of Bitcoin.  It was this trend that manifested itself not only in the beginning of 2019, but also since April, when Bitcoin prices went up actively, and ETH was much behind.  But since today the market of ico companies is not very active, I am sure that ico companies will no longer negatively affect the development and functionality of the Ethereum blockchain.  I am sure that so many bad ico companies only clog the blockchain.

Nope, same exact thing happened to eth in 2016 when bitcoin was 500 going back to 1k. The rise will be bigger then anyone expects.

We are all waiting for the next phase of update to see how the market later performs against the resistance and hopefully before then lets hope the usage and circulation get more to increase the coin price

Who cares what the price of ethereum.The main thing is that they are in demand in the market.And  + Buterin said that Ethereum will be the best supercomputer.Therefore, for the Ethereum team, the priority is to develop the product and only then the price itself will grow.(the price of course matters, but I wanted to say about the general trend).

for now i think not just ethereum are strugle with their price
another altcoin keep trying to stabilize the price in the market, now market condition are not condusive

With a Bitcoin dominance of more than 70% it's no wonder that altcoins are bleeding/slowly dying. Ethereum is no exception here. As long as Bitcoin is so dominant, we don't have to hope for an altseason.

What update are we waiting here? This is an open market and there is no update or whatsoever here everything is based on demand and supply while the people were trading. Ethereum is more likely to follow the trend of Bitcoin and the rest of altcoins will follow too. Ethereum is not the coin that is struggling here, even Bitcoin too.

Let some altcoins die so this market will be filled only with quality altcoins.
It cannot be denied that according to most articles that we can read is that majority of the altcoins are scam, and they are dragging the reputation of altcoins negatively, if we get rid of them, things will be better and eventually we will be able to see some altcoins rally.

As of now, there are already a lot of altcoins that have already died, some are delisted in exchanges and some has almost no volume even listed in exchange. This shows how competitive the market has become overtime, for a project to succeed, it needs to be extraordinary with a working team.

Ethereum seems on the rise where BTC seems locked at 10k....  ;)

It's for yesterday but not this day and the majority of altcoins are increasing a lot again. Altcoin needs a lot of time to attract investors and traders. Ethereum price was struggling caused by the IEO trend and if there will be no IEO trend and the majority of new platforms will use ethereum to funding purpose and i think the price of ethereum will not be so struggling to increase.

The dilemma is indeed happening to all altcoin and so is ethereum. if you want to see for a few months the price of the ethereum movement is fairly stable, but this is not the ethereum criterion itself. ethereum should be able to move more than that and can be the best movement. ethereum will be able to exceed this in the months before the end of this year.

that makes sense, but at least today the market looks very good due to a slow recovery, i think this will be the end of the bear market and the price struggle will at least end in the last quarter of this year, because with the market improving on the last day of the third quarter this is at least a sign that the next quarter will be better

Compared to the days of bitcoin over $10300 what we have in terms of price for ethereum against bitcoin is really good. Ethereum price has been struggling from the days after it reached the ath. In a very slow phase the growth got diminished and at times there is steep falls. Looking upon the growth happened by 2017, there were more predictions stating 2018 will be big year for ethereum. To the expectation nothing big happened and the price fell low to $100 in recent days. Hope the present time is good for the same.

i don't think market condition are now trying to recovery theirself, because for bitcoin price itself still unstableet in market.
that's why i don't think market can back normally in near time

I totally agree with current market condition. In just couple of days it went down drastically but in regards to this topic about eth. Actually, eth went down when btc dumped below $8k but surprisingly ETH still went up from below $170 bur now over $175 so meaning to say btc dominance maybe not that much as before.

I think eth isn't struggling, the market is affected by fundamental events on bitcoin network whereas market is plummeted due to this include eth's price as well. Eth network has beem developing well and improving its network. I just hope they can fast track their roadmap so people here can appreciate more eth not just about its dumping news on trading.

ETH has broke the resistance of $17 which is a good sign giving the market condition. There might be some resistance at moving averages but if it successfully breaches it, price might go to $200+. Traders can enter the trade here with a stop loss at $160. But if the ETH goes down at this point, price can correct till $122. But right now, that is rare a chance provided BTC doesn't slump from here.

all coin prices are based on market prices, so now eth is at 180-190, is eth now very bad? Of course not, this is based on market and btc prices if btc pump then ALT will try to follow after btc correction.

Its not a bad sign for ETH but the overall market is witnessing price dips and so is the case with it.It is still most loved altcoin after btc due to its technology and usage.So when the prices of btc will move upwards the ETH will also gain the attention of investors and it will also rise and prices will soon reach $300-$500 so don't worry.

I think after the recent stunning fall in the price of Ethereum from $220 to $150 for one day, for many coin holders it was a great stress. But the recent rebound to almost $200 may return investors faith in the Vitalik Buterin's coin. At least this powerful correction probably indicates that we have a strong support level around the $160 mark.
