I feel that eth can take a long time to get back to its old price because the first reason is still bitcoin, bitcoin was surprisingly dumped, just yesterday, I even thought it would return $ 30000 but luckily, that didn't happen, the market has kicked off the next green, holding hope for those who can't liquidate soon. However, this could also be a way to push more people into buying again and a subsequent dumping, besides this problem, the whale was too excited to pump and made eth overpriced, network costs have become expensive, many users are starting to withdraw from eth, that could be the main reason for the very strong eth drop
I still think ETH can't go up all because of the gas fee, sure it could still go up a bit but the gas fee is something totally different, we are talking about insane gas fee's right now and as long as that is not fixed (which will be by July) we are not going to see super high prices. While that happens here, people put their money into other things, they are super excited about the potential of those coins and they go up, while BNB went up so much during this period ETH was going up only a slight bit. This is why I think ETH needs to keep grinding to make that fee smaller, otherwise it is not going to go up too much.
By the way the current price is still quite good, as long as it stays around at 1.5k+ price that is still good enough for it to be second ranked coin for a long long time, not like anything else comes even close to it, even with a pumped up price.
