I believe, this year Bitcoin stopped at $45K, not at $42K.
When you create this thread the price of Ethereum is $2,580, so when I respond to this thread, the price of ETH is $2,771.
From the development of the market, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum, I believe this is the time for Ethereum to prove itself as a top coin that is difficult for other coins to match.
The price seems slow to increase to the high price because right now, the price is at $2,768, which does not increase too high than your price. But we need to be careful because we do not know if the correction will come to ETH in the next hours and make the price down for a while. I see the red candle comes to the market in the daily time frame after the green candle appears for some time. But hopefully, the price will not get down or making a correction instead of still trying to increase more.
