At this time, I think it is very difficult for EOS to return to the same price as 2017. So Bitcoin increased so slowly, the other Altcoins also increased slowly and so did EOS. I predict that EOS may reach $ 10 by the end of this year.
I agree with your point of view, EOS will not have too many opportunities to return to the peak as in the past because the recovery of the market is still very slow, and what is recovering is just the value of bitcoin while the value of altcoin is still little changed. On the other hand, many projects are growing and more prominent in the market, competing and looking for opportunities to beat EOS, and EOS is falling into a pretty bad situation when it has too little development, $10 at the end of the year was an overly optimistic prediction about EOS, I even thought it would be worse than you expected
