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 $1500. This time as we've already reached a peak value it makes people think more about it. Possibly the ongoing trend will overcome and reach the peak at the earliest.
I sure hope you're right, I missed the best timing to sell.
OP was correct about this being a trap, but I'm still long-term optimistic.
Time will tell.
Almost more than 50% of traders fall to this trap and they decided to HODL than selling cheap. Bull trap is common case on crypto markets but sooner or later bull trend will give real value of cryptocurrencies to itself. I guess 2000$ is first goal during next bull trend and price will surge upwards.
