In the past some coins has shown surprise upwards movement and ethereum been one of the popular coins has shown significant pump in 2017 and early 2018! Will ethereum get to $500 this year even if sec approved ETF?
Everything is connected to Bitcoin. If Bitcoin surprise us with rates over 10,000 USD, then Ethereum will get to 500 USD or more. If Bitcoin continue to gravity around 3000-5000 USD, then I don't thing there is a chance Ether to near close to 500 USD. I think people are overrating the ETF hype.
I believe such situation also. The rise of eth and other altcoins rely on bitcoin's price. But we will never what's gonna happen, right? I'm positive that bitcoin and eth will increase its value but I can't give how much it would be. Keeping my own predictions to myself.
