All that happening with ethereum needs to be taken with a positive mind. With ethereum several predictions have come in the past, but it outlawed everything reaching around $1500. This time as we've already reached a peak value it makes people think more about it. Possibly the ongoing trend will overcome and reach the peak at the earliest.
I sure hope you're right, I missed the best timing to sell.
OP was correct about this being a trap, but I'm still long-term optimistic.
Time will tell.
