In my opinion, Ethereum price for this past few days was such a roller coaster. The price was reach $3,500 and now the price had significant drop to $3,000. But I trust Ethereum and I think the price will come back stronger and reach $4,000 or even more. Also bitcoin price was dropping too, after its price very close to reach $50,000 last week.
At as now I think Ethereum had fallen below $3k dollar and still ranging around within tiny support and resistance. Due to Bitcoin fall and had fallen to $41k, the market is acting some how and many of altoins are doing poorly going below there normal price, falling seriously. Ethereum is still going to go up when the market recovers.
ethereum is string already and it will be going more strong year after year just like Bitcoin and some of the top 10 altcoins. So I agree that ethereum will not going down to it's price on 2018 and I also believe that new ATH will occur before year end. Maybe it will affected by China's lates news that they ban crypto currency mining but I don't think it will drop down below 2000$.
