in the next 15 days September will end and what we see is nothing changing look at this
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/ethereum cannot even step at 4,000 again so where is the chance of this makes it again to climb and break ATH?
I have given up in ethereum this year instead i transfer all to Bitcoin because I'm tired of waiting in that 2.0 version to release yet nothing comes.
Everything had a drop, they are recovering these days and it is looking good. I wouldn't lose hope on ethereum this quickly, it is still doing fine. It is getting closer to 4k as well if you check the price and that means 5k is not a pipe dream neither. Do not consider "breaking the ATH" is similar in ETH as it is in btc or some other coins, it is already quite close to ATH as it is, and a bit of a decent run would mean it would be over ATH very easily, not saying 5k, just saying ATH which is lower.
This is why I highly suggest that you should not give up this quickly, just because all of crypto had a fall doesn't mean that it will keep on falling and it is already recovering. This is the proof that we are doing fine and I hope that it will keep on making more profit in the near future as well. Would it be 5k this month? I am not sure, but it surely does look like it is doing fine so far in the past few days, if it keeps this up then it is totally possible.
