Why I believe in Ethereum - some observations and price forecast

Now from all sides you can hear criticism of the Ethereum and predicting its imminent death. Saying that it is obsolete, too slow, unscalable, that it has problems with ERC20 tokens and its smart contracts are vulnerable to hackers. Another thing EOS and other modern "Blockchains 3.0" projects (Tezos, Rchain, Cosmos, Zilliqa, Dfinity, Cardano (ADA), Neo, Aion, PoA, Qtum). But... Here's what I'll tell you: the strongest signal of technical analysis is when price behavior is opposite to the news background. A lot of bad expectations, and the graphics look very good!

Let's start with the ETH / BTC chart, here we see a long-term growing channel (logarithmic scale), and the last time the price did not even fall to its lower border. It's obvious, we have very good goals in the 0.35 BTC area (at least):

The second chart from coinmarketcap.com , because there we can see the integral volumes on all exchanges (which is important, since ETH is traded on the mass of stock exchanges):

Here we can see a colossal volume on growth on the eve of the new year 2018, the maximum for all time. I think this volume was accumulation, and ahead of us is the price movement upwards for distribution at the top. Also, soon for ETH, the load from ICO EOS will drop, and the price will finally be able to go up.

So I keep ETH and at a more convenient opportunity I will increase the position. Just my thoughts, not financial advice!

p.s. I just looked at the chart against the dollar - here, too, everything is fine, there was a successful test of the previously passed resistance from above at the level $ 380:
