I am waiting for this growth for long. Each day, checking the rates, I do not find that ETH has changed its price greatly. I suspect that this "calmness" is a period before a real storm. Ethereum will go up.
Keep hoping so and you might see better results soon. But a word of advice would be not to spend your sleep on altcoins because we have seen how worthless they become when the bear market starts. Only bitcoin is what is worth putting money in for a technological point of view and future growth potential.
How far Eth can go is what is keeping these traders alive to kick it back every time it drops, or it is just plain old bagholding tactics to promote and shill it so they can sell at higher price and make some quick buck.
