Were much later in the year than the original post however I think we can easily hit the 900 target by end of year. Ethereum seems to have stopped its slide against Bitcoin so things are looking good for Ethereum as far as I can see.
Let us see. I do not think that it is a very easy task for Ethereum to reach $900 but it is still possible. I hope, the August 8 market fall will not affect ETH negatively. Waiting for the stabilization.
