It's been a long time since Ethereum is performing below it's standards as we all remember even when the value of bitcoin dripped ridiculously still the value of ethereum was good but now from past 3 months wherein ethereum is struggling to survive. Will it reach $1000 market before this year end ?
$1000 per ETH seems unlikely by the end of this year, but I do think we will return to that price eventually.
At the moment everyone is just waiting for the recovery to start. Personally I hope that prices go up slowly rather than quickly - if they go up too fast, then we could well have the same situation as last time, with a rapid sell-off and return to bear market. Slower rises punctuated by periods of levelling off are more sustainable.
