So more than a year after hitting it's all-time-high, ETH is still way down, while
BTC is just 40% of it's ATH. I guess it will take more time for ETH to even reach $500 this year. It's a combination of factors and we can't just pinpoint one reason why the price seems to be tanking at this point.
Probably it has something to do with Bitcoin's price really taking the market and altcoin investors are shifting their funds on it. I'm not giving any financial advise though, it's really up to you to HODL your Ethereum and hope that the price could go back in the future.
