ETH needs to reach 4880 to break the previous high, the options market shows a 5.3% chance of reaching a new high by the end of the year, and 25.5% by the end of January...
All coins rely on whales to pump the price, the biggest problem with ETH is that it has no whales, so don't hold your breath, fellow traders. I have no expectations for it anymore, at least the volatility is high, selling call options can achieve an annualized return of 20% in terms of the coin, and just getting a little boost from the overall market is enough.
