In my opinion. early next year the price of Ethereum will rise again. when referring to last year's experience, indeed the end of the year ETH prices and other altcoins have dropped, but towards the beginning of the year all altcoin prices including ETH have increased again.
We are just relying with what will tomorrow bring to our investment, the value of each coins especially bitcoin drops a lot and afterwards all the alts around not only ETH falls so deep, but in many cases happen already bounce back showed back and bring new high, so make sure you are willing to hold and wait as the momentum will shift along the way.
