I am quite surprised that from the beginning of the year the ETH price began to increase. Still, I'm afraid that the whales will want to manipulate the price and lower it before hardfork. Let's hope that they fail and the price will rise steadily throughout the year. I think that for now the price will remain at the same level for a few days.
but if the whale succeeds, it will be very difficult for ETH to rise again, maybe it will take longer, but we all hope it will not happen so ethereu can rise like the current bitcoin movement
