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.
We all believe that Ethereum will reach a thousand (and more even), but nobody knows when it can happen. I am sure that we cannot make any predictions: simply work - trade, hold, invest, learn more about crypto. I bet BTC will be the best gainer.
