As far as I know, I never saw any bad news about ethereum so far and compared with bitcoin and bitcoin often gets terrible press.
Ethereum is also not getting a lot of good news too. The ethereum holders are still holding its position without sticking to another coin.
That's why there is not much movement in ethereum's price.
The hype should be based on the rumour about the significant development update and so far people are taking ethereum development progress as a steady development and there is no need to create FOMO.
