When btc goes up, expect eth and other altcoins to also pump. Most of the time they are late in catching up btc's surge price but expect the surge of eth and ltc too. Like lastweek, eth is kinda late in bull run but it still performs price spike so qe have to be patience to become profitable.
eth may indeed be slow, but eth movements look certain with gradual improvement in eth now starting to rise and restore value. still far from expectations, but if I look at eth prices from the beginning of this year, I think the development has been very difficult.
