Investors anticipated the rise and as a result the price rised before the fact. This is usual behavior.
That's true, we are expecting a rise and we are seeing it.
However, this is not the only rise we are expecting, we want a higher price since ETH reached over $1,000 and the price now is very cheap compared to its ATH. We have hopes and we are willing to wait, and what makes us happy now is that we are seeing a constant growth.
Ethereum has the most developers and even does more transactions than the bitcoin network. Its a no brainer for me that ethereum will reach new all time highs in the future. All we have to do is be patient and not sell for a small profit.
