It will and just like bitcoin which the one that it follows already got out of its bear market. So, Ethereum would do the same too. Although the other coins and forks got the mass pump for the past few weeks and Ethereum didn't do much. Just like them, time will come for Ethereum and it will show that it's a dominant altcoin in the market. The growth that it's showing is very slow compared to others but this is a safer motion that those.

[Crypto5060]

Ethereum is usually one of the highest gainers during each short run but it tends to drop a lot when the market is in falling.

We can finally see whether it can finally pull out from it's two year bear after the Chinese New year as right now there is a big chance that the market will pullback a little due to the occasion.

But after the occasion, once the price of ethereum will steadily goes upward then there is a big chance for a comeback or we can say that the bull run is coming to all crypto currencies and not only for ethereum.

[Adriano2010]

I wish to happen and to have a altcoin season and a new ATH for many altcoins and not only this bear market for so long and maybe we can also get a good profit if we can sell some altcoins on bull run for higher price than we bought.

[Goodvalony]

The entire market is down and their is no strong sign of making any good movement. ether has been terribly down and their is no sign of recovery. the best we can see of ethereum is to hit 500 usd if that is the case but it is clearly beyond doubt. for the past two years, we are yet to see any major breakthrough in the crypto market. it looks dry for investors and people are still loosing their funds.

[sazonk]

Now is the time when BTC is in a take-off position and off the runway, after passing through many phases 3-4 months ago, BTC had difficulty finding a good place to go fast, and now is the time for BTC to fly, along with many of them. positive news accompanying the current development of BTC. I think ETH will do the same thing to what BTC has done. But compared to the last 3-4 months the price of ethereum today has been relatively improved and shows a positive thing and this has an impact on all ETH-based tokens. All altcoins have their own era to start their adventure. And the possibility of ETH will show its ability 1-2 months from now. And I hope so.

[$crypto$]

I am sure Ethereum will definitely come out of the bear market and will pass through it. We know enough that ETH is currently quite comfortable at a price below $ 200 in yesterday's pumping as well as having no positive impact on it.
We hold tight to Ethereum that there will be an increase with what is expected to be possible to approach the new ATH at least as well as it has improved.

[Bohr256]

I've been going over BTC's charts, and I just didn't feel comfortable, so I went short with all my alts. My goal of short term profit was achieved, but now I'm on a 'wait and see.'

[dillpicklechips]

I dont see a breakout yet. But hopefully, it will after BTC's.

Interesting to note that DeFi statistic there, i didnt know so many were currently collateralizing their ETH as a means of hodling, hmmm...
ive just been slowly stacking mine, the classic boring way i never really like Maker, but i am starting to think i should check it out again, seems alot of people ARE using it...

It can and why not? so many people have started to put their big expectation to the ethereum and as you can see that if the fact that we are facing the big update of ethereum. that can be a big bet for everyone, especially for the investors to get in the ethereum market. 2-year market is about to break out. I see strong support on ethereum market especially after the announcement of the next upgrade.

No one knows the future of this market, so I don't dare to say that ETH can exit the bear market in the past 2 years. Until now, ETH is still nothing too prominent, not too much positive news to help investors buy ETH and hold. This year, the price of ETH can go up to $ 250, which is a great success for this project

Is it? Well, I do hope so. Kinda tired waiting Ethereum from the long bear market of theirs. The great price movements for the past few days sadly still cannot break the major resistance which is on $180, iirc. And now they're having quite a stable price around $160ish. I mean, a lot of people are expecting this to happen so the sooner the better, I guess?

That's a nice idea for now, but I am still not amaze with other people's mindset because they're expecting to dump when price started to recover. Most of them do desires to sell immediately and don't prefer to hold for a long time. These current movements, is a very exciting moment to wait and I do hope we as a trader would learn to have control on our decisions.

All indications are pointing high. I am hoping that this year is finally the year that Ethereum will break out from the years of being bearish. Ethereum has several developments in its roadmap this year. I guess these developments and the bullish market in general will be able to push Ethereum up and finally get out of its low price performance.

Like what first response, i think Ethereum will follow bitcoin when bitcoin pumped. Because with it, bitcoin can bring positive affect for altcoins if people think positive about it again. With that and ETH 2.0 i still holding it until now.

[bassbity]

At this time Ethereum is following in the footsteps of Bitcoin and Ethereum will definitely pass the bear market which is not as long as it continues like this, when bitcoin is pumped then ETH will also participate in the pump, obviously Ethereum is currently still not changing in terms of slow price movements but this stable enough for me to buy under $200.
There are still many who believe that ETH holders will get extraordinary benefits.

[Aabcde]

Surely, there is great potential there. Moreover, supported by update 2.0 based on PoS. Which is scalability can be overcome easily.
We know that eth has touched its ATH and will definitely go there again someday. Moreover, eth prices are now fairly stable, in the sense that there is no significant upward or downward price movement. And surely this happens because many people are waiting for the results of 2.0 are fully implemented.

Ethereum is now at 166 USDT, a good price compared to prices at the end of 2019. Until now Ethereum has not shown signs that ETH will follow in the footsteps of Bitcoin at this time, it is possible that ethereum is still looking for gaps and roads that are open for ETH to immediately glide.
If it is true that ETH will end the fast for ETH by breaking the record at 200 $, then ETH has followed the correct path taken by BTC. As a pioneer of ETH developer tokens, investors and ETH based project holders should have been well prepared for situations where ETH is still trapped in a bearish situation.
Hopefully February will be the point of revival of the ETH.

[Polar91]

In terms of market status of different altcoins in the market, it is quite normal for us to see an altcoin to change its market price up and down for various times. We call it, the innate characteristic of altcoin and crypto which is the volatility. But to consider, Ethereum is showing a long bearish market status for the last 2 years, but as of now, we can see its potential from market analysis that it could go back to 200 dollar anytime soon as bitcoin halving approaches. Opening up huge potential for more projects to be created to ethereum blockchain and to somehow, make our marker more alive like before.

[minairia3]

Why only eth? I think all coins are stuck with the 2 years bear market. Bitcoin is steadily recovering and I think it will also be the same case for ethereum. They have a huge plan for this year that could change the pacing of their development for a really brand new environment which people expect to be a good one. Eth 2.0 is near the timeline and having POS blockchain as mechanism is not bad for investors who wanted to bag many while still cheap. Validators are already confirm and that will increase more in a latter time.

right, almost all altcoins are experiencing the same thing, whereas ethereum has a clear cause, where the dim of the ico project certainly reduces the demand for ethereum. how many ico projects used to use ethereum, and now ico is dead. so it's natural if the price falls

[princehandsome]

for 2 years all coins have suffered because the bear market is still not over and not only Ethereum wants to get out but all coins want to try to get out of the bear market. but at the moment I am sure Ethereum will rise again and there is no reason not to buy this coin now because if Eth v2 has been launched then I am sure the price will soar high.

The decrease of the ico trend gives a very huge impact on the ethereum. Through this update and the core developer of ethereum can bring back again the demand that has already lost caused by so many scam ico in the past. Ethereum 2.0 has already planned with so many improvements especially to create a new system that makes the users able to earn the passive income from the network.
There will be no another bottom again as the price looks grow steadily. The pressure from the bearish market has already ended.

[Muhammad Muneeb]

no one can say this .. All we know is that ethereum will follow the BTC. these predictions are useless i had seen many articles as well which claimed the same thing. we should wait for the whales to do their move. there will always someone who will suffer loss for the whales to make money don't be that guy who will suffer the loss.

[puremage111]

Well it has the chance
Adoptions grows
Thanks to DEFI and lending

More and more Ethereum were locked in the DEFI and soon when POS implemented, it means more ETH wipe off from market for staking

[bitcampaign]

It is certain that ETH will also come out of the bear market, considering that ETH also has a high trading volume in the crypto market and follows bitcoin price movements as its main benchmark, I think all crypto markets including ETH are waiting for the moment when bitcoin halving will happen soon and continue the delayed rally

The huge potential of ethereum still remain despite of the 2 year bearish market condition that affecting much of its price, but i'm impress despite of all those hurdles, eth was steadily hold its price until now, ranging average $130- $160 against the US dollar that's quite good comparing to other coins in the market, other possible reasons was due to the slow down on ico trends or partly due to delayed implementation of the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade will that's only my opinion and i'm not an expert about it.

[StephenieDuong]

I think Ethereum already break downtrend with double bottom on D1 chart. The potential to grow is high right now, the only chance that ETH keep downtrend is the price break 100$ support with high sell volume. I believe we are in great time to start buying for longterm.

[nicolas1979]

I'm sure about that because eth focus to built brand/ trade mark, they ignore value and supply to develop program and up grade system. Come out from bitcoin shadow is really important for eth future even we must say impossible. Now XRP follow eth strategy and become independent coin is their goals. If eth success I believe more coin will copy their step and bitcoin will alone in crypto market.

I always have the belief that all alts follow Bitcoin's price fluctuations. Whether it is ETH or EOS or other good alts, it will fluctuate in price with bitcoin. But now the market is adjusting again and we can wait for some time to buy ETH at a better price. I know that ETH has just broken out of the important resistance zone, but it will still have a back test, you should be more patient and buy it at the best price. I predict that in 2-3 days the price will drop to $ 158.

[hello_good_sir]

Not just ETH. I think it's going to be the majority of cryptos.

Especially large cap alts, I think they have the best chance of making a strong recovery because of the fact that they have been underperforming relative to BTC's growth during the recovery period and have a good fundamental given that institutions will still be interested in investing in them.

Usually it's unwise to look at cryptos in isolation given that they move in groups, and ETH is part of this large cap market cycle.

[imutlinda]

eth one crypto that has the trust of a high community, and their platform has been successfully useful for many developers who do development.
And it's not only ETH that can get out of the bearsih market, because other altcoins can certainly grow back and it's only a matter of time.

[bonyaserg]

Personally, I have been closely following the market, watching Ethereum for over 2 years, and noticed a very interesting situation. Ethereum always achieves good results. And if there is a question of investing in Ethereum, I am always for investment. So this is a very profitable investment. I also think that in 2020 Ethereum will make a big breakthrough and break the price in 2017.

[iram3130]

The problem with ETH is that its dumps are higher than its pumps. At a short term trade it might be very profitable but there is no sustainability to it in the longer term. ETH got good developments and updates this year and might start a breakout soon. With that we may see a good alt season.

[karanggatak]

the past two years ethereum has lost a lot of value. but with the unique technology owned by ethereum smart contracts, I believe ethereum can make ethereum prices rise. and hopefully with the release of eth version 2.0 and the arrival of bullish market trends can drive eth prices to rise.

[Kyraishi]

I'd say that the recovery has already started.

We've already seen ETH rally from the start of the year significantly against BTC, reclaiming the 0.018 BTC support. I think that this is definitely a sign for things to come due to the fact that ETH is one of the more established coins in the cryptospace, which will definitely see a lot more interest in this mature market environment compared to smaller cap coins.

But as others said, don't expect this to be an isolated event on ETH. Other coins like IOTA, EOS, LTC etc. all have very good prospects overall this year.

[Warkop]

Ethereum for the last 2 years has indeed become very bad because the price has dropped very large, but entering 2020 it has been seen rising slowly although not too high at least Ethereum has shown that it is still moving and still ranks second in CoinMarketCap. So for that I am still very sure Ethereum will come out of the bear market and will recover by 2020, maybe it only takes a few months to see it recover and become stable.

Personally, I believe that there will be another rally in the crypto market and of course on it ETH will show what it is capable of. I will say more, I also believe that we are just at the very beginning of a new stage in the development of the crypto market and I am sure that all events for the development and improvement of ETH are not in vain planned in the near future. All this is done specifically just for the new start of the rally in the market.

[pikkie]

So for that I am still very sure Ethereum will come out of the bear market and will recover by 2020, maybe it only takes a few months to see it recover and become stable.

that is because there may be no development of ethereum that can trigger investors to buy ethereum again, because investors can come back again to buy coins and support to raise the price of coins when there is a good development and can be useful for many people.

[FairUser]

If bitcoin goes up this year, it is likely that the price of ETH will rise a bit from now. To be honest, the current price of ETH is right for its value, no one needs to use ETH like before. In the last 2 years, the price of ETH has risen sharply because of investors' need to participate in the ICO, but now the ICO is dead and people have stopped using ETH. ETH is a safe altcoin to invest in this market, but it certainly will not bring profit as much as other altcoins.

Ethereum, like all other altcoins, for 2 years in a row, we can say that they didn’t increase in price but only fell in price, this year the price of Ethereum increased slightly due to the fact that Bitcoin began to grow and all other altcoins started to follow Bitcoin as usual, but I think that after two years of waiting this year there should be some Ethereum growth.

https://bitcoinist.com/is-ethereum-about-to-break-out-of-a-2-year-bear-market/

Yes, I think so and it should happening soon-ish. The timing couldn't be better as it coincides with Bitcoin's halving which in history always leads to a massive bull run few months after.

To think that ETH current price is just 90% of its ATH makes it even more attractive. To make new highs, Bitcoin would only need to 2-3x multiple its current price while ETH must go 9-10x. Seems impossible but we know alts have been far way more volatile than Bitcoin so I would put some of by bets on alts.

[btcdie]

Maybe. because for too long I think this bear market for 2 years on ETH. but I see the development is not very significant. and my belief ETH will be bull run due to Bitcoin halving, because every incident will have an impact on altseason, especially ETH. and the good news is that the ETH road map will release the PoS consensus algorithm. I'm sure Staking will attract many investors to try it and there will be big changes, especially in market movements.

I would love to believe that you're right, but I simply can't. Market has no strict rules/laws so we can say it would be nice for Ethereum to grow finally, but we can't say that it will for sure.
I believe that chances for it to grow are high this year, because eth 2.0 with PoS will come out so it definitely will pump price, but we can't know if the pump will be big enough to revive half-dead currency.

[bgaf]

Ethereum is usually one of the highest gainers during each short run but it tends to drop a lot when the market is in falling.

This is because the market is connected with each other. If btc increase, major coins such as xrp and eth tend to follow the surge. But knowing ethereum plan for 2020 there is a path now where ethereum coud somehow break free as many are interested with staking eh or being validator. I'm just curious what happened in the miners who are mining eth. Investor versus miners I can say that eth can gain new investors within POS blockhain.

[awakpane]

In my opinion, maybe Ethereum will withdraw from the bear market. but in the near future I find it difficult if Ethereum withdraws from the market. because the Ethereum concept is very good so many people want to invest.

[Greatchu]

Ethereum is a very good option of coins to invest on and hold, its movement of lately seem very different unlike what we seen in 2019, i don't know if this has something to do with upcoming 2.0 upgrade or just the bitcoin halving but im very bullish on ETH because of its upcoming staking feature

It will but not this time.  Bitcoin had not reached the peak of its rally so it is not yet time for the 2-year Bear market break for ETH.  Aside from that, many are disappointed on the POS updated of ETH especially the POW miners that hinders the possible break out of that bear market and this sentiment will take time.

Not only for Ethereum but mainly Bitcoin and all the other top coins in the market, we have high hopes this year, 2020 this is going to be the best year for us after two years and it's happening right now, we are moving slow but sure, but we will eventually get there, I'm glad that I'm accumulated and still accumulating Ethreum besides Bitcoin.

I think that at this moment Ethereum is most likely to reverse the downward trend. However, this will not be easy, because investors are still afraid of problems and that the date of the upcoming hardfork will once again be postponed. If the hardfork will be made without problems, then the Ethereum price rally have chance skyrocketing.

[miklesm]

Ethrereum has been falling for about 2 years already and it has to start the new bullish phase, but it is likely to happen along with the other altcoins. I think ETH is one of the best investments as it has a good development potential for the next few years.

very able. especially if the bitcoin trend goes up, it doesn't take long for ethereum to follow its trend. that experienced bear for 2 years not only ethrereum, almost all altcoins experienced it too. we'll see in the next 2 months, I'm sure the trend will be amazingly good.

[Ailmand]

I believe in the capability of Ethereum so I strongly believe that this year is the best year for it to recover. It has been through a lot this year so I think it will boom this year. There's a season for everything and I know that the time has come for Eth. It's consistent so I don't doubt about the capability of it.Let's see how it will prove us that it's always a potential coin next to Bitcoin.

[ethereumhunter]

Ethereum will have time to increase, and it will happen soon. But ethereum needs to wait for bitcoin moves to the higher price so ethereum and the other coins will follow to increase. If we are looking at the market, ethereum has a big chance to rise again after 2 years of the bear market, and ethereum still has big support from many people who like the ethereum project. I think not just ethereum that was down, but all of the coins, including bitcoin, were down too, and in the next bull run, we will see which coin that can increase higher and back to the high price.

I really do hope so as I have been hodling my ethereum since the last bullish period 2 years ago. I think with the latest development of ethereum that allows proof of staking to supporters, eth would likely pump this year. Its price has stabilized right now and the only way to go is to go up.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

Why only eth? I think all coins are stuck with the 2 years bear market. Bitcoin is steadily recovering and I think it will also be the same case for ethereum. They have a huge plan for this year that could change the pacing of their development for a really brand new environment which people expect to be a good one. Eth 2.0 is near the timeline and having POS blockchain as mechanism is not bad for investors who wanted to bag many while still cheap. Validators are already confirm and that will increase more in a latter time.

The confidence is good but i highly doubt that there will be any major change in the price, the prediction of investors flooding in ETH to hold it as a dead investment is quite laughable as no one in the right mind will be doing that, the direction in which they are going is a disaster in my opinion but the developers have the final decision and they really do not care about the investors before making these huge decisions and so is the reason i am expecting it to get humbled in the coming years in terms of valuation.

[davinchi]

We have halving for bitcoin and we have hard fork for eth and we have many things for all other altcoins as well, this year has been great even from the first day.

This year should be break out of 2 year bear market for all coins, sure bitcoin wasn't in a bear market since it increased last year but its still low compared to ATH, so I feel like this year will be amazing for ALL good coins. If there is a horrible shitty coin that may stay down or even go down, yet all other good decent coins will have an amazing year this year. Hopefully I am not wrong, I am not an expert and I am not responsible if anyone of you just buy and get upset from the down since its altcoins and anything could happen yet I really hope we all have an amazing year in 2020.

[Ratash]

Yes it can etheruem is far from the real market value because its used daily with high volumes plus it has shown its power in the last couple of years its still number two even with the big price downfall.

[Vishnu.Reang]

If you want to talk about the bear market affecting Ethereum, then it is necessary to talk about the bullish phase which preceded that. You have mentioned about the phase in which ETH lost 90% of its value (2018-19). But you also needs to mention about the bull run in 2017, when ETH gave 120x returns for the investors (as a result of the ICO hype).  

[isaac_clarke22]

It should be the same as Bitcoin.
Just looking recently at CoinMarketCap where it made a loss of -2.41%, as well as Bitcoin losing by -3.18%. It is quite large gap, but both are experiencing the same thing. It should get at least a bit of bull run.

I really do hope so as I have been hodling my ethereum since the last bullish period 2 years ago. I think with the latest development of ethereum that allows proof of staking to supporters, eth would likely pump this year. Its price has stabilized right now and the only way to go is to go up.

This year eth will regain what it lost last year. The market and self expectations will pump the price. Its current price is very low and need to start from any point, and this point is very close. There has now been a 35-40% increase in price, and there will be even more. So, I suggest you wait a little longer, when you reach an affordable price this year, you make your choice.

Crypto markets are holding steady for another day following a slight pullback from their recent rally. Ethereum is still looking strong but can it finally pull out of its two-year bear market?

https://bitcoinist.com/is-ethereum-about-to-break-out-of-a-2-year-bear-market/

as of now ethereum already recover and I think it will still climb more in the next few months because eth still has its own purpose
but to recover from the last ATH and break it it won record in terms of the price i think it will be hard for it to reach the last ATH again.

[Distinctin]

I believe in the capability of Ethereum so I strongly believe that this year is the best year for it to recover. It has been through a lot this year so I think it will boom this year. There's a season for everything and I know that the time has come for Eth. It's consistent so I don't doubt about the capability of it.Let's see how it will prove us that it's always a potential coin next to Bitcoin.

We've been optimistic for this year and I understand that people have been looking for another Bullrun. I could just say that maybe this year of a fruitful year for everyone. May altcoins will wake up especially for the top altcoins in the market. But the confidence that the market will turn like that is still uncertain and probably everyone knows.

Well, the long bear market is not at the endpoint but the crypto traders have started to HYPE the bullish market conditions. The confidence is essential before entering the market otherwise the emotions will not calm down. The altcoin market is not in good shape but the traders don't want to give up yet.

[nutriagrigia]

I think that ETH will be in the bear market all 2020 year, but it is also possible that changes in its price may begin after a successful transition to POS. many people now do not believe that the transition to a new mining algorithm is a good idea, but I think that if the ETH team will do everything right, then later people will understand why this is necessary and will actively buy ETH.

[meliodas]

With the increasing demand for ethereum for the past few months because of the price drop. I think that the price will now turn into a bullish from a bearish one. Ethereum is a good altcoin for long term investing and it is also a good tool for trading because there are tons of altcoins that are paired with ethereum so it is a both win situation for its users.

[Diamond_Darrell]

Guys, calm down, ETN needed to be bought while it cost <$ 100 in December 2018 and early January 2019, to take profits in the summer in July 2019 and to work X2-X3, now everything can turn out badly if you take it right now, as you can see the price below 100 $

[Eternad]

I think that ETH will be in the bear market all 2020 year, but it is also possible that changes in its price may begin after a successful transition to POS. many people now do not believe that the transition to a new mining algorithm is a good idea, but I think that if the ETH team will do everything right, then later people will understand why this is necessary and will actively buy ETH.

It's hard to determine it yet whether it will be successful as some fears change especially in top altcoins, but if it will be implemented correctly and will get praises from users then later on it may gain fruits that will be appreciated by many. Let's not just expect too much yet as we're still getting hard to get away from the bear market.

[MOProgress]

From the way the beginning of the year 2020 is, there is every assurance that most top coins will break the bear market barrier. Most especially Bitcoin SV.

[Argoo]

https://bitcoinist.com/is-ethereum-about-to-break-out-of-a-2-year-bear-market/

Of course, sooner or later this was to happen. Considering the fact that the altcoin market has been stagnant for almost two years and depreciated by 90-95 percent compared to the peak of their price, their growth this year is simply inevitable. With the growth of the cryptocurrency market, ethereum should lead this process. Especially if the expected improvements to this coin will be successful.

[Bohr256]

I've been going over BTC's charts, and I just didn't feel comfortable, so I went short with all my alts. My goal of short term profit was achieved, but now I'm on a 'wait and see.'

Boyyyy, am I glad I went with my cheesy analysis, and so far things have been working out. Hope you guys took action instead of hoping for miracles.

[anjiitem]

That is the hope of many people who hold ETH and for now it is better to keep holding it and waiting for the right time to sell it later. You could say 2018 and 2019 are less profitable because we often see price reductions that occur and for this year we hope that ETH will start pumping and providing benefits for people who hold ETH.

[Botnake]

It's time for Ethereum to finally go back to its good price, for 2 years of bear market, I think its enough to get rid of the weak holders and its high time now to reward those who are really believing and have survive to hold this long.

I know the market will eventually and I am waiting for major coins like ETH to pump high again,... it could happen because ETH has some real development and this ETH 2.0 hopefully will be launch this year so it will create hype.

[microsurfer]

ETH 2.0 should have enouhg power to break it

[WannaCry]

there is a possibility, as there is so much news about ethereum development. hoping to happen that soon and break that ice as soon as possible

[BChydro]

There is a major upgrade and they are behind the timeline and the bear market has swallowed everything and i am not expecting any individual rally in ETH, when they released the coin i never expected it will cross $100 let alone a huge rally to $1k but it reached those valuation and then came down but to see a rally again is difficult unless investors are stocking in it.

I know the market will eventually and I am waiting for major coins like ETH to pump high again,... it could happen because ETH has some real development and this ETH 2.0 hopefully will be launch this year so it will create hype.

When the bitcoin market moves higher the ETH market move along with it and that is the only rally i am expecting.

The money has to come from somewhere. As the overall crypto marketcap increases, you'll see the price of all of the alts start to increase as well. ETH more than likely will end up going up in price. I just don't see how it wouldn't with the new updates coming and the apparent bull run coming at the same time. People are and will be investing in it for a while. I think this will increase even more once you're able to stake it.

I think all ETH holders are very hopeful about the development of ETH 2.0. well, it's reasonable, even I also believe that the price with that development, the price of ETH can reach a high price. but, the current price is still quite far from the previous ATH. if the ETH price could reach $ 500 to $ 600 before the development of ETH 2.0 was launched, I believe that ETH could reach the new ATH. but if not, I think the price of ETH remains under $ 1000 despite the progress.

Yes, we are expecting something positive value to ETH coin when we see active development release from the ETH team and this will definitely help the ETH to increase its price more than 300$. The only problem is there is no exact ETA when they are going to release the ETH 2.0 this makes many people are kept waiting patiently.

Is etherum launching a new version, ETH2.0? This would be a come back for etherum in this case than. I think, etherum has been shown us immense growth in the mid year 2017 and we can hope the same to occur this year when the bull runs arrive. Etherum is one of the top coins from the coinmarketcap and I personally trust each and every top coins from the coinmarketcap.

Etherum offers us huge benefits like token creation on the etherum network by deploying smart contracts, etc which has made an immense growth for the etherum markets. A lot of big whales and investors are holding etherum in their bag and it might happen for a reason. We all can expect higher price for etherum soon.

[Henrytrust]

I can't wait to see ethereum pull out of its long overdue bear market. The value of ethereum really needs a lift. I remember when ethereum traded at over a thousand dollars. It would be awesome to have those good old days back. It would also help other altcoin to increase in value.

I think ETH will come out of its bottom after the start of the fork, and the fork will happen in about 1 year, and the price of ETH depends on Bitcoin.

[liuqi]

Since last interviews by Vitaliak butterin is not positive sign for ethereum growth. He is really fed up of the people's mind set since there completely no big investment over ethereum.
simple supporter I seriously appreciate your words and if all the miners and investors Support the ethereum like bitcoin definitely we can get the profit for sure.

[Darooghe]

The price will continue to rise between now and the bitcoin halvening event in May. Don't know if we will hit ATH during this time but it can be the foundation to do so. also, I think we can still have another speculative bubble based on ETH 2.0 progress, ETF news, etc. Now this isn't advice to do anything with your money but I think that this year there was a lot bigger tax burden on everyone as well as exchanges and we will start to see a recovery in the coming months. Hopefully, ETH can get some good press when the uptrend starts and we will be headed back to our ATH.

not entirely dependent on bitcoin. an important platform for updating and managing their markets. if it depends on bitcoin then what happens if excessive adoption of bitcoin on the market. we saw it last year. and altcoin like ETH also can't move much. this year there is confidence the market will grow well. as well as ETH with their platform updates which will be running soon.

we have been waiting for the release of this new version ETH2.0 but the thing is when would this be?it is harder to wait longer while the Bitcoin Halving is coming and instead of continue holding ethereum we can just Put the investments first to Bitcoin to join the Halving seasons profiting.

[Coinraptor]

To me, I think yes, Ethereum is gonna rock this year. If the Bitcoin halving brings the bull run then that will come for Ethereum too! There will have ETH 2.0 upgrade, which is another great developments. New projects are launching on Ethereum network instead of EOS, BNB, WAVES Chain!

I am also hoping that through their Ethereum 2.0 upgrade, it will once again awaken the bulls within. Ethereum has been very silent in the market for the past many months. It needs to have a catalyst and I guess ETH 2.0 is the one we have been waiting for.

I think the upgrade will give a positive impact to eth, many investors are waiting for this to happen since eth is in bearish status for a long period already. Plus the halving of btc can also influence the price of popular alts to follow, this is still uncertain but there's no pain if we hope for this to happen. Lets just wait since we are still in first quarter and there are many possible scenario that can occur to the market.

More than the price, this Ethereum 2.0 upgrade will make Ethereum more usable by the large Ethereum community. We may not even be certain if the price will immediately rise after this upgrade but what we are certain is that this upgrade will improve Ethereum in terms of scalability, shift to PoS, etc.

https://bitcoinist.com/is-ethereum-about-to-break-out-of-a-2-year-bear-market/

still awaiting the Ethereum 2.0 for this breaking the years of bearishness .
i have bought some last 2018 and now i have been holding for almost 2 years yet there is no sign of me disposing/converting this currency so maybe in this 2020 or the next i may taste the profit of holding.

if that 2 combines?the Halving of Bitcoin Bull and the 2.0 upgrade of ethereum happens?then surely all of us ETH holder will be in moon before this year ends.

Etherum has huge demand in the bull markets which arrived in the mid 2017 but after those bull markets, the price for etherum was drastically on the down trend which ended up somewhat near $100 to $200. In early stage, ETH had huge benefits like smart contract creation, etc but now also there are some alternative platforms which allow the similar functions to carry in minimum hard work like waves, etc.

So, ETH is somewhat going out of trend which might not keep the support that strong for ETH which would than create an outbreak which would be hard to stop. We might expect something good if etherum network gets back in the race.

[Shasha80]

Many people predict that in 2020 ethereum will show its best performance. After two years ethereum is stuck in the bearish market,
now it's time to rise. If we pay close attention to the movement of ethereum prices in the market at the beginning of this year, it has
begun to move in the positive direction.This is a sign that it is time for ethereum to show its quality as the best altcoins. Especially this
year there will be launch of ethereum 2.0, which at least had an effect on the rise in ethereum prices. According to my predictions
ethereum should be able to rise to price of $ 500.

I am personally more caring with Bitcoin at this time. Bitcoin affects cryptocurrency in whole. when Bitcoin is good, it can affect to altcoin, including Ethereum
Bitcoin is struggling to break its resistance, it feels so hard for breaking that point. But the halving is near here, I think Bitcoin would be pump in short
when Bitcoin pump, then it is time for altcoin. we are possibly to get another altseason then.

[leetcoiner]

Yes, ETH should exit the bear market because ETH has only positive news and a few updates ahead which will clearly have a positive impact on ETH and its price.

[n0ne]

Not to the much higher value, but to some extent this year we can experience growth with ETH. For the last two years the market of ETH kept declining, while the expectation over ethereum kept growing. Somehow it has reached 2020 which is scheduled to be big year for the entire cryptocurrency market. To the minimum ETH will touch a value close around $500 - $700 this year.

[awakpane]

Yes, ETH should exit the bear market because ETH has only positive news and a few updates ahead which will clearly have a positive impact on ETH and its price.

I agreed if ETH had to get out of the bear market. but is there a guarantee if the ETH price will continue to have a positive impact over a long period of time?
I see now this ETH movement in the market continues to increase.

Just imagine if you have bought Ethereum at its lowest last year around $80 if I'm not mistaken and just HODL on it, but this time it's a sure profit already.

However, we all know that it can still go on an upward trend this 2020, and we breaking away from the long bearish trend second quarter of 2018 up to 2019.

There are no guarantees that ethereum or even bitcoin will continue to create a positive impact in the market but the performance of ethereum so far is quite impressive so it has still chances i think. It may not jump more than those other topcoins but its slow price uplift is much safer than those who have made a massive pump and experience a sudden price dump the next days. Ethereum is said to be slowly but surely.

[coinfinger]

It has already went up so much, aren't you afraid it will fall? I am right now in between of buying more ethereum or investing into something else, I have enough bitcoin right now, I have a lot of wave, I also have ethereum, the amount of ethereum I have is not a lot, it is like 10% of all my investments (a bit more) and honestly I am not entirely sure if I should increase that or if I should use this money by investing into something totally different than these three coins.

It is great for ethereum that it is getting attention out of nowhere but the real attention will start when staking happens, I can't believe we are getting so close to it, I can honestly say I will buy a lot more ethereum when that actually happens, for now I do not trust its developers to deliver properly.

[leetcoiner]

To me, ETH has been off the bear trend for a long time, I think ETH will have better times in the near future.
