I believe otherwise. We may not see this 5k level this month, but there's likelihood that it will before the year ends, if we start seeing the gas prices to lower down. However, it may happen next year as you said. So I understand if people are just being conservative with estimates so as not to get disappointed in this market. We can also keep up with the progress of eth network and news about them.
The last price of ETH a day ago before falling within a few percent was $4,366 and that's also not too far from the $5K price target for this year, but if market conditions continue as they are now, I think it will be very difficult to position itself in the market. the price is $ 5K even though it's getting close
