As you can see on the Log chart there was a huge Bullflag and Consolidation over six months period and we are now in Bullmode that could last a few months with the height of the last Flag.
In 2018 there are a lot of dApps going live and Proof of Stake (POS) being implemented eventually.
We will see Projects like Shapeshifts Prism Exchange running on Ethereum Blockchain (i am already beta testing for a few month) and EthFinex decentralised Exchange (by Bitfinex).
We already see Blockchain Usecases besides Cryptocurrencies and Finance with Ethereum, like Identity (City of Zug/Switzerland using uPort), KYC, Supply Chain Tracking, Sharing Networks, to name a few.
More than 300 Major Companies are collaborating on Code for Ethereum and have joined the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance.
And there are rumors of Ethereum Futures coming soon.
I have never seen a more promising Investment.
This has just started and it is still early days.
